Not that the Bannon stuff doesn’t matter – it definitely does. But, I mean, North Korea hit one of its own cities with an errant missile. This is big and scary. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

I usually never say this but, honestly, this should be the biggest story of the day. More than the Bannon stuff. https://t.co/fv0nWUsE4v — PolitiTweet.org

On Iran: Emphasizing it's all supposition and I have no special firsthand knowledge, this @thekarami theory strikes me as by far the most compelling. Intra-elite wrangling over $$$ is spilling out into public. It's not a romantic story of good-vs-evil, but the truth rarely is. — PolitiTweet.org

What if North Korea conducts an atmospheric nuclear weapons test, but it misses as badly as this April launch? I don't know how to accurately characterize the risks here without sounding like a tin-foil loony. I mean, the risk is remote, but it's clearly real. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

This sort of stuff is why I've been careful to foreground that I don't know what's happening in Iran. We're all working off partial, fragmentary and easily filtered information. https://t.co/tib2oVlK8e — PolitiTweet.org

@nktpnd @DaveSchmerler North Korea sometimes fires its long-range missiles over Japan If one of those missed by a similar margin, and hit a major Japanese city, it could be misconstrued as an attack, sparking all-out nuclear war This is a really big deal, and really bad — PolitiTweet.org

RULING: The “nuclear button,” while not technically real, is an acceptable metaphor for nuclear command and control, given the underlying truth of unchecked executive control. Ruling over, thanks. send tweet — PolitiTweet.org

People are understandably focused on the button thing, but note well: he is responding, only now, to a speech Kim gave 48 hours ago. I’m less worried about the size of his button than his apparently garbled sources of intelligence on nuclear conflict matters. https://t.co/1J8dMz8M0s — PolitiTweet.org

Every time North Korea inches closer to de-linking South Korea from the US — Kim's clear goal — I get more sympathetic to BR Myers' theory that Kim seeks eventual reunification https://t.co/4k8sx8RXl8 — PolitiTweet.org
