North Korea and US

I suppose diplomacy will prevail. Nobody wants a war.

I'm a furious American. Furious that T got elected by an archaic electoral college and more furious that he's an embarrassment. I have never ever seen an election were people stop being friends with others because they voted for Trump . Do you hear the hate that's going on now and violence in Virginia? T brought this on . He was a hater during his election and gave hate groups permission.
The congress can get rid of him using the constitutional amendment saying he is incompetent. Believe me many are panicking here. Why isn't T getting the people ( non military) off of Guam? The best boy good thing I can say is that Kym does not have as many bombs as we do. I think he really knows all he has to do is drop one bomb and he and his country will be flattened. Let's hope they are both posturing.

China asking both trump and Kim to show restraint in what they are saying....... anyone think either of them knows what the word means ???

These are the people who support trump.

Seems China is telling America to get a grip!!

The hope that Kelly would bring some discipline has been somewhat dashed.

I thought Trump insisted that he wasn't born on American territory?

What a fool he is.

America wouldn't have to work so hard if their idiot President learned diplomacy, and moderation of language.

I wonder how it will be spun once it all settles down?

I don't suppose he's all that bothered about Hawaii, either, as that's where Obama was born.

Still all the time Trump can keep this going as well as threats to Venazuela, the world isn't looking at his relationship with Russia, so I suppose it has its advantages.

Hawaii is getting prepared for a nuclear attack as well.

Trump can start a nuclear attack on his own.

If only he would stop tweeting!

That's the bit we never see btw ( with anything) that there is always more going on behind the scenes.
That's the impression I got last night from the news - that the Americans are working hard for a solution to this crisis and probably many of them are gritting their teeth and alarmed at Trump's jingoistic utterances.

As yours say roses, more going on behind the scenes than we do or ever will know about as it is with brexit!
I feel much less alarmed today but even so NK could even with China's diplomacy launch an attack on Guam, but fingers crossed, they don't!

Fortunate indeed

Fortunately, it's not just Trump working alone, he has a very good military team advising him.

That's the bit we never see btw ( with anything) that there is always more going on behind the scenes.There will be pressure put on China by the US as well no doubt, done in a very diplomatic way.China will not support NK if they fire missiles first.

Forget putting Trump 'in his place' let us hope that the US manage to put NK in it's place.
Just seen a UK Rear Admiral on breakfast tv saying that hopefully NK will get back in it's box or it will be put there by the US.Also that beyond the rhetoric,the US is engagaing in diplomatic talks behind the scenes in NK.

I wish someone could put trump in his place like this.

14,900 nuclear bombs in the world, most of them thousands of times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb.
Annihilation for the world. Every city looking like Raqqa.

Nanna58 as whitewave said about invading another country.

And do we want another world war? It could mean annihilation for even more millions.

Someone needs to act like the grownup.
And nothing Trump has said or done as yet in his term has made me think that he is not naive about politics.

There's an idea, North Korea invading China. That might solve the problem and keep the West out of it.

I still think, like with Hitler , he is a despot, and they do not ' self limit' , and so do need to know what the consequences will be BEFORE they invade / attack others.

nanna Kim has not yet invaded another country. Nothing was done to stand up to Hitler until he invaded Poland.

paddyann I could not agree more, Trump doesn't know what he's doing. Why anyone voted for him is beyond me. I'm too afraid to watch the news now, God help us all.
