I'm sure Trump's Russian Masters will tell him to chill out.

Russia borders North Korea. Putin is massing a heavy presence on the border. Russia is not a happy camper about this.

Odds of a military strike by August?

Odds of a military strike by August?

By North Korea on someone else?
Under 1%.
Unless the ransom goes unpaid.

By Russia or Child on NK?
Under 1%.
They're having too much fun watching.

By America?
Under 1%
Unless undertaken by President Trump under an executive order.
Count on liberals to talk any attempt at America sovereignty to death.
Actual death.
No, hundreds of thousands of deaths.

We had our chance to kill the dear leader and all his cronies a few months ago, and blew it, so now we have to deal with his extortion for another generation.

depends how badly Trump needs a distraction from his scandals.

It'll backfire, of course.. then Trump will have a 20% approval rating when the body bags start coming home.

and this is bad, why?

Look, the North Koreans rattle some sabers, we give them an aid package, and they are quiet for a few years. There's no reason to escalate this, they've been playing this game for decades, and it would be a lot worse if their regime collapsed and sent millions of hungry refugees all over the place.

they don't stay quite for years
we have to keep paying them off, which is what fed them the money to build these weapons.

and if NK fell apart, I'm fairly certain SK would take in anyone, as they already do that.

two egomaniacial narcissists with with tiny hands, and shitty haircuts intent on playing chicken with each other doesnt bode well for diplomacy.

being a crazy, unpredictable asshole could work for Trump and make Kimchi back down.

scary.

 

[Reasonable]

I'm glad we have a strong knowledgeable leader like DT in charge to sift thru this mess.
But first " Watch his golf swing."
