N.Korean threat/capacity, shows both determinism & social construction by contrast to southern twin When considering that the population of North Korea has virtually the same genetics as South Korea (demographic “twins” - not all that different from Japan, either) an interesting case study is presented for the influences of social construction, as the contrasts of North Korean and South Korean society are vast despite indiscernible genetic differences. Nevertheless, let us not lose site of the obviously important evidence and factors of biological determinism either: the high i.q. of North Korea (like the south) can account for their capability to rapidly develop full nuclear capacity on their own.

Posted by Tillerson/Mattis restraining Trump/McMaster on Tue, 09 Jan 2018 07:22 | # Business Insider, “Tillerson and Mattis are reportedly trying to hold Trump back from striking North Korea”, 8 Jan 2018: President Donald Trump’s secretaries of state and defense are trying to persuade him not to strike North Korea, while his national security adviser is pushing for a “bloody nose” attack, according to recent reports in The Telegraph and The Wall Street Journal. Rex Tillerson, the secretary of state, has reportedly been key in pushing for peace, but he may be on his way out. A US strike would mean it implicitly trusts that North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, wouldn’t escalate it into an all-out war that could kill millions. The Trump administration is debating a “bloody nose” attack on North Korea, recent reports say, with the president’s inner circle split and apparently teetering between endorsing a strike and holding out hope for diplomacy. Both The Telegraph and The Wall Street Journal have portrayed Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Secretary of Defense James Mattis as trying to caution President Donald Trump against a strike, and the national security adviser, H.R. McMaster, as advocating it. 10
