What is the likeliest outcome of the current North Korean crisis in your view?

How do you see this playing out?

What other impacts on society and our economies do you expect?

Thanks DU.

i think it will be because donnie is a blowhard and chickensh!t, all talk and no follow-through.

he's all about big promises, big threats, big show, but it's all empty illusion.

The same Americans that were scared into submisssion by the "threats" of the USSR before it fell, and big bad Russia/Putin less than two years ago, will vote like scared sheep once again.

I agree NK is a concern, especially to countries nearer to it, but I think this is a planned escalation. Not enough people in this country are scared of illegal immigrants, Muslim and non-Muslim refugees, nor ISIS attacks on our soil. Now that we are semi-friendly with Russia, the GOP needs some country to take its place. NK might just fit the bill with lil' Kim in charge.
