(82,329 posts)They want to be a major world player and have regional control of Asia.
On the other hand they absolutely do not want Beijing or Shanghai which are 500 miles from the Korean peninsula, damaged by a war between NK and the US.
So they are going to play this carefully.

Also, many immigrants join in hopes of the citizenship they are promised, while proving their love for this country. Pre-emptive war is never ok. It's funny how it's most always the ones who've never served that are pro-war.

(50,052 posts)So, yes.
And yes and yes.
Their distractions (and now I'm just talking about the billionaires) just aren't doing the trick.
Nazi Tour 2017 isn't working.
The Clinton uranium/collusion thing isn't working (except to remind us of what they're trying to distract us from.)
Even the JFK thing isn't working. (I bet they thought they really had a winner with that one. Problem is, not everyone is fifty to a hundred years old. Rich guys get that one wrong all the time.)
We're almost all the way down to Blow Shit Up.
If it takes Blow Shit Up for them to continue the looting of America, then that's what they'll do.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
