Trump has really hurt his credibility by talking too much. Since he started talking threats North Korea has sent 2 missiles over Japan, detonated a hydrogen bomb and tested 2 ICBMs. The US cannot do anything to North Korea unless the South Koreans give a go ahead and the South will never allow it because they stand the most to lose from a war with the North. It is therefore very accurate for North Korea to say he is a barking dog and to prove it I guess they will fly another missile or detonate another bomb very soon.

I think Trump is very ignorant about the dynamics of the Korean problem. North and South Koreans are one tribe. They speak the same language. There are many people in the South who have relatives in the North. There are many prominent South Koreans who were born in the North before the partition and have very close ties to the North. An example is Chung Ju-yung the founder of Hyundai one of the biggest companies in South Korea. Many opinion polls show that 2/3s of young South Koreans favor unification with the North and many do not like US presence in South Korea.

North Korea has always stated that their main objective is removal of US troops from South Korea and then unification and I guess they are making good progress in that direction and Trump is helping them by talking trash because he continues to alienate South Koreans.

It is one pure tribe just like the Japanese. China has many small tribes. India is not even supposed to be one country they have many very distinct different tribes and races.

To be fair to Impunity, I am the one who introduced tribe in this thread. I think you are the one being touchy about tribe. All people have tribes and there is nothing wrong with talking about tribes. What is idiotic about it?
