I’m afraid military action. You don’t need 100 senators to say, “We’re gonna bluster.”

I disagree. This is so unprecedented it would basically be telegraphing a very serious and yooge decision, which is something Trump has sworn he isn't strategically stupid enough to do. This looks to me like brinksmanship. The bluff of war.

Sure hope you’re right. We really don’t need this now but it may be necessary.

I agree with some of what you say. I could see this meeting with the Senators being useful either way - to bluff NK or to warn our allies we may be ready to attack. Trump wants NK to take the 1st step. If Trump puts enough pressure on Fat Boy he may make a fatal mistake.

Yup. The good news is, no one knows if he's bluffing, and if so, what the consequences will be. 😁
