One would think that there are some in the higher ranks of North Korea’s military who understand that even an indirect attack on the US like lobbing a missile at Guam would provoke an immediate and devastating response and that sending a nuclear armed missile toward the US would be suicidal. The Chinese too must be worried about little Kim pushing things too far. We could hope that cooler heads might prevail and little Kim soon gets ousted.
Doubtful that little Kim is going to attack the USA unless China gives them the green light-that day is likely down the road. On the other hand, if the conspiracy theory that he is controlled by the CIA, is true, could happen any day.
Most Congress Critters don’t give a plugged nickel about the well being of citizens, as long as they have their bunkers all ready they are happy. Hence the demise of all the civil defense efforts of the cold war period.
I am skeptical that a mere lack of electricity would be unsurvivable for all us country folk. City folk will be more challenged. We’ve survived without electricity for several weeks here.
China has made it clear that they think this is their century to dominate world leadership, so that is a big concern - and they are using our dollars from buying there stuff to finance their military.
Thanks to the Toon, and preferred trade status.
