The US is preparing to attack North Korea, according to Geopolitical Futures founder George Friedman — setting the stage for a difficult, messy war with potentially catastrophic consequences.

Speaking Monday to a rapt audience at the 2017 Strategic Investment Conference in Orlando, Friedman said that while it was unlikely the US would take action before President Donald Trump returns home at the weekend, North Korea's actions appeared to have "offered the US no alternative" to a clash.

"We are facing a war that is not simple," he said, adding that Russia and China were both washing their hands of the matter.

1. some random guy makes random prediction nt

2. Hey, he co-authored The Coming War With Japan in 1991

So, if you calibrate him by minus 60 years, he's approximately correct.

3. Then he's about right...

1950-53. Just a tad over 60 years ago! lol

6. He should renew some of his newspaper subscriptions

8. and a lot of random folks were spewing that a war was imminent with Iran for the last

twenty years

While I still believe the odds are against a war with NK, I do recognize that since we have such an unstable person in the WH the odds are increased of an attack, for the time being I would like to think there are other powers holding that in check

4. desperate republicans do desperate things....iraq / north korea

5. The Coming Redemption of the Seriously Stanky republican-russian Crypto-Cabal

is a book which will never be written, and a Salvation which will never happen. They are committed to The Dark Side.

7. I have doubts that nuclear war will surface.

Why when cyberwarfare can be almost as destructive and the aggressor with least dependance on computers is more likely to win?
