Cold War Stuff

In case you didn't notice Cold War behavior which started with North Korea escalated with the U.S. today. It seems that the U.S. discovered that North Korea is further along with it's missile program than the U.S. thought so we are deploying more anti-missile missiles on the West Coast in California and Alaska. However, since I grew up during the Cold War there is one thing I can tell you about Cold War Behavior: "Absolutely nothing that appears to be going on is ever what actually is going on." This is just how things are. So, while people all over are freaked out about one thing, 10 completely different things are actually going on. So, when something is this public it is usually just a smoke screen for 10 other things that nobody will actually ever find out about until 10 years from now or never.

Note: I actually lived through the first Cold War and it began the year before I was born 1947 and it ended around 1990 and 1991. That's a long really strange war that included the Korean War and the Viet Nam War and the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan which were 3 of the hot wars within the long long Cold War. So, are we in another Cold War? The best answer would be "Maybe". end note.

Also, another thing to realize is that when one country steps up to the plate about 5 other Nuclear Armed Countries do too. This is just how it has always been done. Imagine one guy loading his guns and 5 other guys loading theirs too. So, if you haven't seen this done before, here we go again.
