Now, he's sending a carrier strike force to Korea. If he engages in a similarly ineffective attack on North Korea, it will not just be ignored by that country, and could lead to many thousands of deaths in South Korea.
He's making warlike gestures that really do nothing. If he does that in North Korea, he'll start something he won't be able to finish. I hope his massive ego doesn't lead him to do that, but I fear that it might.
The President of the United States should not make such gestures, ever. They're costly in multiple ways, and the monetary cost is the least of the ways that could backfire horribly.
I don't know how to discourage this weak, ineffectual man from doing stupid things, but I hope someone does.
