He's been able to get away with murder (literally) so far with his minor operations. NK is a whole other matter. So he postures and riles Kim Jong Un hoping for an excuse to launch a retaliatory attack. But I am not sure he hasn't discussed this strategy with a few members of the GOP. I would not put it past McTurtle and Ryan to have devised a plan with tRump that would force congress's hand. If some members of congress are about to be swept up in the collusion scandal, they might just opt for the distraction of war as a better alternative to prison.
