There's no faster path to war than to invite aggression by showing weakness. Trump's assertiveness seems startling only by its relative novelty but it's no more egregious than that of Winston Churchill.
The really astonishing thing here is the unexpected support we're getting from....CHINA!

This whole mess is brought to us courtesy of Bill Clinton's utter and criminal incompetence. If he had confronted the Norks while they were more easily containable we wouldn't be facing a nuclear power; if President Trump fails to deal with them now, next decade we'll be threatened by a North Korea with ICBMs. He won't fail because he takes care of business. That's all he does.

I think that China is in no mood to see things escalate to where China and the US come to a point where the US uses trade against China as leverage.

China’s debt is now 300% of GDP. Typically when debt reaches this level the country suffers rampant inflation and economic collapse.

I thought this was outrageous at first, but we should not try to get logical with this idiot. She is too far gone with whatever she has.
