"Also on North Korea, on Wednesday, the White House campus will play host to a briefing for all U.S. -- 100 U.S. senators on the subject. The briefers will be Secretary Tillerson and Mattis, Director Coats and General Dunford. This is a Senate briefing convened by the Majority Leader, not a White House briefing. We are just serving as the location. For further questions, I'd direct you to the Majority Leader’s office and the office of the four briefers.
Sure looks like Trump wants to start a major war, maybe even nuclear.

Trump wants to start a war with North Korea to distract from his total lack of ability to govern. This is the MO of an authoritarian leader, look at what Argentina did when their economy crashed in 1982 ... invaded the Falklands. What does Venezuela do everytime they their economy gets worse? They rattle the saber about the Dutch Caribbean islands just offshore. What does Putin do when the Russian economy takes a nosedive? He invades a neighbor.

Of course Trump doesn't want a nuclear war but he is playing with fire -- recklessly.
He may be laying the groundwork for a conventional preemptive strike to take out North Korea's missile or nuke capability, to set them back, like Israel did to Iran several years ago. Doing a preemptive strike is extremely risky because Kim Jong Un seems unstable and might react by lobbing a nuke at South Korea, perhaps at a military base that has a US presence.
Trump better not be thinking of a ground war. We couldn't win one there in 1950 and we cannot win one there now. North Korea's standing army is huge.
I think he plans on locking the doors and keeping them there until they agree on the wall and an ACA replacement, the North Korea stuff is just bait.
reichstag fire comes to mind.
Quote:
Adolf Hitler, who had been sworn in as Chancellor of Germany on 30 January, urged President Paul von Hindenburg to pass an emergency decree to suspend civil liberties and pursue a "ruthless confrontation" with the Communist Party of Germany.[2] After passing the decree, the government instituted mass arrests of communists, including all of the Communist Party parliamentary delegates. With their bitter rival communists gone and their seats empty, the Nazi Party went from being a plurality party to the majority, thus enabling Hitler to consolidate his power. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstag_fire
Do i think Trump is planning to burn everyone, no but he may well want to stage an event to tighten his grip on power....

we could beat them this time, assuming china allows it. But the cost would be insanely high. Far worse than any war the usa has fought since at least wwII but maybe in our history. there is a fair chance NK could hit us with a dirty bomb, or bombs.
