Can Trump handle this situation without the help of China ?

The man is, to put it bluntly, a fuckwit.

There, I've said it. Mind you, so have many thousands before me.

So does that make WW3 inevitable ?

I wouldn't want to be living in Seoul. People there are at greatest risk but of course everyone is vulnerable these days, especially with Trump.

This is the problem with brinkmanship: You blink, you lose.

Once commited like this, if the USA back down, they lose all credibility and the PRNK will run riot.

Trump and Kim are made for each other; however, whilst Trump is an idiot, Kim is genuinely dangerous. If it comes to a showdown, Trump and the people of South Korea will lose.

I'd cash in that Samsung, Hyundai and Kia stock ASAP...

It may have escaped peoples notice because of our preconceptions of war that WW3 is under way and has been for many years. Drink wine, eat cake and enjoy your music. What will be will be. Out of our hands i'm afraid. :P

Philosophers have only interpreted the world - the point, however, is to change it. No it isn't ... maybe we should leave it alone for a while.

She doesn't want anything getting in the way of HER Brexit and of course is acting in the interests of the country.
