I think it is time to watch Dr Strangelove again

They have been shaking their fist at the rest of the world ever since the establishment of the DMZ along the 38th parallel. It is nothing new. Oh, the weapons being brandished have ratcheted up the 'look at me' element that is and has been their intent, but it remains the same old nonsense.

Kim Jong-Un was educated in Europe and he knows well the power of all those nations not on his side -- which quite literally is all of them. He knows that if he actually does something really bad -- not just provocative -- that he and the rest of his nation will become a part of the atmosphere. He likes his power. He does not want to lose it.

So, Kim is not the one about whom we need to be concerned. No, the one we need to worry about is the Orange POTUS who could easily get us into a conflict with almost anyone at any time. Something he has plenty of incentive to do because it is one of the few ways he can save his presidency with a chance at a second term. So, keep your eyes on the Cheeto.

War with NK would not be trivial. They have a huge standing army... I used to be of the opinion that ya, little Kim should be squashed like a bug, but there's way more to it than that.

Watching this pissing match between the US and North Korea play out is depressing. The current presidential administration campaigned in 2016 on the promise of bringing down islamic terrorists and ending the war in the middle east. They claimed that this task would be completed within a years time.

What a joke! Here we are one year later, and not only are we still deeply embroiled in the middle east, but we're also on the brink of war on the Korean Peninsula as well. Could this situation possibly suck any worse?
