Trump wants to project the image that he is nuts. The implied threat is that North Korea better get in line with international norms or it will have to do battle with the United States. It's the Reagan strategy. It may work with most relatively sane opponents. But my prediction is that the strategy will not work with North Korea. Lil Kim is, in fact, nuts and wants war. War reinforces Kim's narrative to his people that he is the only thing standing between safety and death at the hands of the evil United States. Kim gains nothing by standing down.

My prediction is that Trump will blink and Kim will declare victory. Trump overplayed this one. Get ready to be humiliated by Lil Kim the tin pot dictator.

What's your definition of blink?

If they test a nuke and Trump doesn't strike?

I have said it before...it bears repeating.

If Trump was going to attack North Korea.

You'd have more then one US Navy battle group there.

This is bluster.

My prediction is shitasses will root for the NK dictator in the dispute just like they rooted against the US in the Iraq War.


Oh look, it already came true.

What about Trump's past actions make you say that?

He's blinked so far in every conflict he's faced, so probably a good prediction.

There's a difference between "attacking" and "striking" North Korea.

I suspect Mattis is in charge. McDonald is cutting business deals and bloating himself on cake in FL. Mattis probably told McDonald to stay in FL and take naps.

He is working on getting China onboard. In the meantime, if Kin Jong Fat tests a missile into the Sea of Japan we will blast it. I don't foresee a general strike unless the NoKos initiate it. At least no for awhile.

You're an idiot. North Korea does NOT want a war because they know they can't win and their entire country gets whipped out in that war.

Kim want to be left alone so he can keep ruling the country. Provoking the US doesn't do that. He will back down.

Trump isn't playing with Kim

He is playing with China. China makes or breaks NK.
