Nothing New on North Korea Except ...

[Twilight Hue]

I think things will remain posturing unless Kim ding dong fires any ordinance or missile into any allied airspace.

We could ask Dennis Rodman to up the crazy hair as a subtile warning to his friend to not play with the things the world has never seen.

Basketball is actually in Kimmy's court.

When Trump was preparing to debate Hillary, the man doing the prepping of Trump in the area of the military told former Republican representative Joe Scarborough that Trump asked him three times why, if we have nuclear weapons, aren't we using them? Trump also said in the campaign the he would be the most military man in our history, and just look at his appointees.

What you and other do not seem to understand is that the military is the last group that wants to get into a war.

Lots of us understand that, doubtless including @metis .
Part of the reason I was so opposed to Trump is the combination of ill considered bellicosity and poor ability to take advice. That led me to believe that he is far more likely to get us into a stupid war than his more coldly calculating and experienced opponent.

I think it's just a given Trump is going to get us into a war. Now or maybe later. With North Korea or someone else. But sooner or later. It's just that we're all so hopeful he doesn't that we don't see how almost certain it is that he will.

Hopefully it will be limited to a war with Muller and the FBI.

If we're lucky. It annoys me (to put it mildly) that so often our wars are begun by people who themselves have never fought in one, and did everything possible to avoid fighting in one. Not that I'm in favor of fighting in wars.

His twitter wars alone should have made it clear to everyone he is not fit to helm the military.

What I find amazing, stupefying, and flabbergasting that if Trump goes to war, it isn't just his wanna-be-academy/no real experience asking others to go fight and die on his command, Trump is so stupid that he also asking them to go "drain their life battery" faster and quicker than everyone else on his command.

I stated my hopes, & the incontrovertible fact that we shall eventually see if they're realized.
Wrong?
No....not applicable.

I can accept that.

And what you don't seemingly understand is that Trump is the Commander-In-Chief, therefore it doesn't make a difference what the other military leaders may think.

Well maybe I mistook your comment "and just look at his appointees", to imply that he had appointed those that favor war since this is basically a thread about possible war with North Korea. If I'm wrong then I apologize.
