I’m probably stating the obvious now but this NK / Armenia thing has brought into clarity for me how the DS plans to defend itself / intimidate people - Use of Rouge States Nuclear / Conventional Capabilities. And Trump has to take these out before he can go head on with the DS, so they have nothing to respond with.
I have been thinking that when push comes to shove the DS is going to respond and it’s going to be big - Nukes or ... sorry... some sort of weird Alien deception. Trump is disarming them now.
It's not obvious to many people. People naturally think the world is neatly aligned into countries, and doesn't readily think that some of those countries are puppets of trans-national interest groups. The world powers align in various ways, and "countries" is not the only, and probably not the most powerful.
"Deep state" has various meanings, depending on the scope of review. It can be small rogue elements inside a country, like our judges, prosecutors doing social engineering; or policy makers in unelected administrative bodies. it can also mean rogue elements of, e.g., CIA who help move contraband including arms and drugs between countries - or the press, which is EVERYWHERE used to control public perception. NK was a puppet country. I think so are most countries. They dance at the strings of the money/commerce people.
I had an epiphany about 25 years ago on this general subject, in the context of admiralty law. The entire body of law exists to facilitate commerce. It's a good body of law, by the way, but it has no other over-arching principle. Same too with trans-nationalists. Countries exist for them, sure. But that is secondary.

That’s why he’s cutting their legs out from under them before lowering the BOOM.
And yes, they would think nothing of using nukes if it fits into a strategy.
The main point of our strategic vulnerability at this stage ... our only single point of failure ... is if something were to happen to President Trump. I think he knew this all along, and that is why he is surrounded by the military like a commanding general or President during wartime. I did also read somewhere he continues with private security, and not just the Secret Service.
This is WAR, and it is JUST BEGINNING.
