Please God. May the ONE THING IN LIFE that Trump doesn't completely fuck up

[annabanana]

be the situation with North Korea..

1. The one thing Trump worships is ruthless power.

There is no power that competes with nuclear annihilation. If the superpowers over 70+ years have learned any lessons be certain Donald Trump has not learned anything from any predecessor. Trump's counterpart in North Korea has a similar problem.

4. Hi from Belgium

You've said it.

I am wondering.

Trump's credibility having plunged so deep that it's flirting with minus infinite, can't it prevent, somehow, from a crazy desastrous move?

2. right now he seems to be shopping around for a war to start

but he needs a "win" to look like a bigly time successful preznut so I don't expect him to go after NK.
But who knows what NK will do?

6. I hadn't thought of that...Reagan had Grenada, GHW had Panama

maybe tRump could send the Marines to St. Kitts and Nevis to "prevent" something.

9. your getting my drift

my only question is whether he starts his war before or after the 2018 elections.
A case could be made either way.

The media will be there to "rally behind the president and troops" much like they were for Iraq.
My guess is the W Bush timeline with us invading someplace @ March of 2019.
This will probably also cover a shrinking economy.

10. GHW also had Iraq.

11. Indeed, but that war was strangely popular at the time

I was thinking about wars against tiny, easily-defeated countries so the *president could be covered in glory by risking very little.

3. The problem is both narcissist leaders believe they are God!

5. Siggy said "No problemo!"

According to Trump, he just got a call from Sigmund Freud. Really friendly call. Siggy just wanted to assure Trump that his mental health was great and that he loves Trump almost as much as Trump loves himself!

7. It's already in the works

The question will be whether Kim Jong Un retaliates against South Korea, Japan, or both.

8. How can he not?
