Oh, Dear Lord, why do I watch the USA news

I don't like the sound of what's coming down after that stupid missile launch. I really, really, really don't like the between the lines here.... :-X

China really had better take care of this. Soon. Please, please, please.

Yeah..... definitely appreciate the anxiety over it..... NK is just mental so hopefully somebody (China) will step in and sort this extra-craziness out!
My, how time flies....

Not sure precisely where the worst of the mental illness resides, actually. :(

I don't get the feeling that Trump is going to do any military action over North Korea.  I'm not sure the military will allow him to start a war with China and Russia at the same time.  He'll bluster and increase sanctions in some meaningless way and then act like he deserves the Nobel Peace prize.

In my opinion, you can relax.

No, not unless they do something first; unless he gets talked into some insane covert adventure that may not end well. (Relaxing is not in my nature - I'm genetically paranoid.)

But if they do something first in a serious way, he'll go... well, ballistic is the usual (if somewhat ironic in this case) term, I think. The Military Industrial Complex (to use Eisenhower's term for the machine) stands to make a lot of money every time there's any sort of military action, so.... war is good business.

Seriously, what is there left to do to North Korea as a "sanction"? Financially/socially they are tremendously isolated (except from China), their people are starving....
