no doubt. They know what would immediately happen to South Korea and all the military personnel we have there. They also may have a sense of what world opinion would be, although I'm not so certain of that.

They will advise and they will do so vehemently. However, should Trump decide to go ahead, I believe they would comply with his orders. I'd like to think they would not, but I suspect they would.
