Maybe so. I don’t think a NK missile launch into the ocean triggers a military response they way we traditionally think of it, e.g. all-out war.
What it could trigger (I hope) is that the US shoots down the next missile they launch and every missile afterwards. I have been saying that for a long time. Shooting down their missiles would effectively neutralize their threat.
Yes ... and Trump continues to exercise great patience and restraint with NK. Just because Trumps tweets that he is running out of patience means little. He’s been saying something similar for a while now.
I think Trump tweets are designed to prod NK into making a fatal mistake. The US will not just attack NK itself over missile launches. They are waiting for NK to make the first move.
Shooting down their missiles would effectively neutralize their threat.

That would be preferable to war, of course, but then what would Kim do as he is being humiliated by our ability to knock down his missiles? Would this really neutralize the threat? Or would he decide to retaliate against our forces in South Korea and/or the densely populated city of Seoul just 35 miles away using his 15,000 artillery pieces along the DMZ? It sounds suicidal but we don’t know what he’s capable of doing.
China is the wild card in all this. What would they do? Its a momentous decision for Trump, no question about it.
Well it’s fat boy’s call and if he decides to start a war that would be what trump is waiting for. Trump has other fish to fry but wants NK to make first move.
Another thing trump could do involves an embargo but I don’t think China would go along.
No doubt, but I saw those very words posted to you. As for being in Revelation, no kidding, were there after Ascension Day.
Trump understands if a country goes to war they better plan on winning that war... He’s not a fan of the 10 year war with no winners.
