Does this idiot realize that NK might well attack SK and Japan because of his threats?

1. Yes, he's trying to provoke them to break the ceasefire.

[Thomas Hurt]

2. as long as Donnie can claim a "win" what is a little nuclear fallout....

[Warpy]

3. He thinks if he growls loud enough, they'll just fall into line

the way all his toadies always do.

He thinks the worst think he'll face is a lawsuit.

He is clearly unqualified to the point of being dangerous.

4. If he starts a war the media will forget about Russiagate, they can only

concentrate on one shinny object at a time.

5. He's a very dangerous moron.

6. he says he wants to go it alone against NK and I am in favor of that

Give him a uniform, a rifle with a bayonet, some grenades, a map to Pyongyang and put him on the DMZ and let him go.

If he is really feeling confident maybe he can bring along a golf bag so he can play after he defeats North Korea all by himself.

7. I am with you.

Let the tough guy, take them on, all by himself. Can we also send along Pence and Ryan as backup?

[rurallib]

8. pretty much any of them could go.

they all lie and only worry about their own skin, so I doubt they would be much good to anyone of any country

[Golden Raisin]

9. My great fear is he will start a war

before he is thrown out or forced to resign. A war would ensure a large portion of Congress and the public would "patriotically" rally behind the President. The Bannon contingent would be only too happy to use a war as an excuse for suspending the Constitution, cancelling elections and instituting martial law.

10. I am planning a trip to Seoul this summer. Starting to question whether it's safe. n/t

[superpatriotman]

11. There's no trump brand properties there

So he doesn't give shit

[WoonTars]

12. The short answer is 'no'.

That would require knowledge, situational awareness, and tact. Something Mango Mussolini lacks in spades.

13. Trump and Xi are ganging up on North Korea

Last month, China said that they would stop buying North Korean coal. Do you have any idea what that means to North Korea? A lot more will starve. And now Xi is chilling with Trump. Hmmm, what country also produces coal besides North Korea??

15. China banned all imports of North Korean coal on Feb. 26, cutting off the country's most important

export product.

To curb coal traffic between the two countries, China's customs department issued an official order on April 7 telling trading companies to RETURN!!!!!!! their North Korean coal cargoes, said three trading sources with direct knowledge of the order

16. Coal ... ition of the willing???
