Hi, Lee Lofaso!

It is the same situation North Korea is now. The US & South Korea often 
hold military exercises at distance of 10 miles from the North Korea 
shore and even closer. "How would it be known if it was a test or a 
threat?", I repeat your question. It can be a solution - do not provoke 
Pyongyang and do not hold military activity near the border. But North 
Korea seems too small, and this solution probably is too humiliating for 
the US. It is like a great bully boy cannot stop provoke his weak 
classmate. ;-)

It is a fully lawless term.

Bye, Lee!
