Trump could launch a few warheads at NK. In retaliation, NK takes out Seoul, Tokyo, and Guam. They try to reach Hawaii but the missile doesn't make it. China then unleashes its arsenal on the US in defense of NK. The US unleashes its arsenal on China. Most of the human population is wiped out within a year and we begin to enter a nuclear winter.

Trump's base i.e. evangelicals aren't worried because this isn't how they believe the "end times" narrative is supposed to play out or they simply haven't considered what the aftermath of a nuclear war would look like. I however am starting to get pretty terrified.
scared much? if your shadow popped up when you didnt expect it to, do you jump? trump cannot just launch nuclear weapons just because he gets a bug up his backside, in fact i believe he is much smarter than that.

also i dont believe that trump will start a war with NK, more likely retaliate when necessary.

i think your fears are irrational at best, and i think you need to step back and start thinking again instead of panicking.

Are you scared of nuclear war?

What would be the point in living in fear of something you have absolutely no control over? I have never understood this mindset.

Trump supporters would love for NK to bomb the West Coast because they feel that people who live in those blue states aren’t real Americans anyhow, so it would be no loss to them.

Anyone not afraid of nuclear war is an imbecile. Regardless of where a nuclear explosion takes place it will have a devastating effect on the environment the the foreseeable future. There is never an appropriate time for nuclear weapons.

True. I know it will happen one day. A world wide nuke war will end most life on the planet and at least stop warming for 4 years.

No. I have faith in a higher power, so I believe if it's that time for me to go, then it's that time for me to go. Because in the end, we all die anyways.

POTUS the fear monger in chief will never do anything but tweet to keep his base on edge.

So much for the lies

Donald Trump’s anti-interventionist foreign policy causes a panic among the warmongers

Posted on 5/2/2016, 9:03:41 AM by HomerBohn

Donald Trump continues to make establishment heads explode.

The foreign policy prescription he laid out in a speech hosted by The National Interest magazine last week was more Ron Paulian than neocon, and for that it drew ridicule – like everything Trump does – from the Republican establishment, mainstream media talking heads and foreign policy “experts” whose policies, ideas and opinions have the world in flames and edging us closer and closer to all-out World War III.

Trump promised his foreign policy would be non-interventionist to a certain degree, with the idea that the U.S. could “live peacefully and in friendship
