Hi hank,
You could be correct as to his intent, but I'm still glad that he did it. I do, however, hope that he's ready to handle any difficult consequences and that it doesn't put us into another hard war against the Arab nations. We're going to be in a bad place if we have to fight them and N. Korea all at the same time. But at this point, it's just guesswork as to what may happen, but the action has already shown that some Arab nations are upset about it. The question, at this point, is how upset are they?
This article provides some insight in how the action was seen around the world:
