Oh dear, I agree with the OP and both responses. The world is a more frightening place. I feel rather despairing because frankly, what can we do? I joined the march "not in my name" when Mr B was planning to join his friend across the water, another Mr B in a war the vast majority of people in the UK opposed. It's no joy to be proved right.
I wish I had something more positive to say. I struggle to believe anything coming out of the White House since Mr T moved in. I agree with whitewave, he is so unpredictable and therefore, he is a real danger.
Kim Jung whatsit is obviously a danger, add Mr Putin and China, Iran to the mix and it really does seem scary. Is it too much to hope that Putin, Trump and possibly other key protagonists can meet in a neutral place to try and reach a peace plan?

Let us hope that Trump will not take/ be prevented from taking unilateral action without even consulting his own government. He is so unpredictable it is a real danger.

I think with Trump in the White House, Putin in the Kremlin and now North Korea making noises the world has become an infinitely more frightening place.

All eyes are on the G7 and Syria and speculating about how Russia (and Iran) will react after Trump's missile attack.

Meanwhile a US warship is heading to waters off North Korea just as a very important date in the North Korean calendar approaches.

Never mind 'beware the Ides of March' how about beware the Ides of April. Trump and KimYong Un facing off against each other?
