need to calm yourself. Trump and Kim love that you're upset and paying attention to them.

I don't believe NK has the wherewithal yet to attack the US mainland or even Hawaii with a nuc devise of any kind unless they put it on a PT boat like a suicide bomber. We're hep to that and it won't work.

I don't believe, in the end, our military would allow a first strike on our end to happen either.

If it somehow did, I worry more about China launching at us 'cause the detonation of a nuc on the NK peninsula would seriously screw up their neighborhood with the fallout and electromagnetic pulse.

Besides, there is nothing we can do anyway unless you want to join the preppers and most of us don't think that way.

Chill, a nuclear event on the US ain't going to happen.

Really, it won't. Go make passionate love to someone and have an adult beverage unless you are allergic to that stuff. Smoke weed maybe as an alternative.

Enjoy life, don't give those two fuckers the pleasure or let them destroy your serenity.
