I have a sinking feeling

Trump is going to start a war with North Korea like a cornered animal strikes out in desperate fear.

The walls of the Russia investigation are closing in... Collusion is proven at this point (if you missed Rachel last night, it's a must watch).
He's melting down over Mika Brzinkski and even Republicans are attacking Drumpf over it
He's got his staff cringingly defending the indefensible while even GOP Congress members won't
Republicans are planning on revoking his 9-11 AUMF.

All the while the above shit is hitting the fan, he's rattling sabers with North Korea, downright provoking N. Korea to attack. I'm getting up in my years and seen a lot of shit... I've got a sinking feeling he's not going to wait.

...to taunt NK into a fight.
You don't suppose he's desperately looking to create a big diversion to keep his ass out of Leavenworth?

4. He is already making noise about it - he's playing chicken with them.

He doesn't care what happens to this country, as long as he gets his revenge. As long as he is seen as powerful. I really hope something big goes down today, because he needs to be stopped immediately.

5. I've been predicting this as the flash point from the beginning.

I've been predicting this to anyone that will listen (mainly my wife, daughters, and a few like minded friends).

When his back is against the wall he'll start a war--most likely with North Korea.

Nothing will get everyone to rally around the flag better than a war.

He's not smart enough to understand all of the uncontrollable events that could be unleashed. He only understands that attacks distract and will allow him to act as the great and fearless leader.

I, unfortunately, am in complete agreement with you.

There have been only two popular wars in American history - WWII and Afghanistan. In both cases it was because of surprise attacks. Yes I am counting on Kim Jong Un to be the sane one
