24. Several things at work here. First is tRump's megalomania.

He is determined to be the biggest, baddest, or bestest at everything. He is going to try to out do anyone else who ever occupied the White House. No matter what he has to do to put himself at the top of the heap (at least in his mind) he will do it. He believes a war will force us all to bow to his wishes and will ensure that he keeps his position.

Second, he knows that things are not going well in the Russia investigation. Manafort and Flynn have probably already given up a lot of information on him or it has been discovered (even without their co-operation). As the noose tightens on his neck, he will get more and more desperate to divert and distract from the investigation. What better way than a war using nukes! He plans to be in a bunker, well hidden and what's a few million Koreans in the whole scheme of things?? (His way of thinking, NOT mine!) The Russia investigation will be the last thing on our minds if our military and North Korea are playing Red Rover, Red Rover with nuclear armed playing pieces?

tRump can only handle so much being constrained by his advisors and generals. Then he will decide he knows more than they do anyway. He is probably has had just about enough of them trying to rein him in. I say we'd better look out because for the two reasons I stated, he needs to do something to make it go his way. And this rat bastard is close to being cornered----not where he likes to be.
