North Korea fired ballistic missile on 5 April

In an act of defiance, North Korea fired a ballistic missile into the Sea of Japan from Sinpo area on April 5, one day before the Xi-Trump meeting, treating the US and China (its supposed protector and benefactor) as paper tigers.

It is past time our President began dealing with this issue before it truly becomes his first real crisis. Here we will see the "art of the deal" in real time. There is no bankruptcy court to fall back on this time....I honestly hope he is up to this mess because the alternative is extremely bad.

They've been doing this for decades. Nothing new, nothing "escalated".

I see...so gaining Nuclear capability and advanced missile technology is "Nothing New"?

The sabre rattling.

My point being these are no longer little swords and the danger is real.

Only if they are truly wacko enough to start a war.

Lil' Kimmy is totally freakin' nuts....or did you not notice?

He is PARANOID that the we & S. Korea will attack him. Very much Like Saddam Hussein was paranoid that he would be attacked by "somebody", so he hyped his WMDs as a deterrent.

That does not mean he is crazy enough to make the 1st move. He knows he will be obliterated if he does.

You certainly seem extremely confident in your positions regardless of what it will mean if you are incorrect....which is a VERY good possibility.

The question is: what can you or I do to prevent what if I'm correct? Not much I'm afraid.

Though I am powerless to physically change this reality I often discuss possibility on these cool internet forums with other individuals to express myself and gain insight from alternate positions. At times said opinion are uninformed and add little if anything to said discussions.
