Right now I'm afraid for our country

Does anyone else out there believe Trump would lob a couple of nukes into North Korea?

We all know in the past how presidents have handled the NK threat-- Trump is a different monster. Im willing to bet if NK lobs a couple of firecrackers into the waters near Japan that Trump will send us head first into a war-- One that we could lose!

Mattis is heading to Tokyo and Seoul in Feb-- I'm scared Un will do something before then...


From UPI:

"Hwang had said on Tuesday the security situation facing South Korea is "very severe," in response to Kim Jong Un's pledge to not stop nuclear weapons development.

A South Korean defense official who spoke to Yonhap on the condition of anonymity said Mattis' visit is a sign the "Trump administration is taking North Korea's threats seriously."

The deployment of the U.S. missile defense system THAAD is likely to be discussed when Mattis meets with Han.

Seoul has said THAAD would be deployed by mid-2017, but Beijing has been striking back with sanctions against South Korean companies.

It is unclear, however, whether Mattis would be raising the issue of military cost sharing that Trump raised in the course of the campaign, although the defense secretary had said he expects U.S. "allies and partners to uphold their obligations."

The new defense secretary has also said international alliances and security partnerships must be embraced during his confirmation hearing."
