Trump + Kim Jong-un War?

[CajunBlazer]

Recently I wrote an article on this blog entitled, Don’t Play Chicken with a Mad Man which warned about the danger of Donald Trump provoking the unstable leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, into a reaction which would drag us into a war on the Korean peninsula. Since then I have witnessed the ratcheting up of tension between the two countries.

Former American Presidents through many administrations have reacted to North Korean provocation by with rational approaches. They never insinuated that they would attack North Korea; quite the opposite they always called for called for calm, ratcheting down the verbal exchange with the North Korean leader. All the while they usually increased our military presence in the region to send a silent message that we were prepared to react with our superior military should that become necessary .

Since Donald Trump knows little of history, he is instead tweeting veiled threats and having his minions ominously add that “all options are on the table”. ....

3. To quote the lyric from Chris De Burgh's "The Getaway":

"Let's stick 'em in a room together,
And make them fight it out
Until they see nothing from nothing
Will leave nothing at all..."

4. Sounds like a great idea

I wonder who would prevail in cage match up - Donald is bigger, but fatter - Jong-un is much younger, but appears to also be in poor shape. Do you think he knows Taekwondo? Doubtful. If not it will probably turn into a slap fest with both quickly falling to the floor trying to catch their breath.
