What does it have to do with him, or us, for that matter? What if someone told USA to stop testing and producing arms: would that be reasonable? If the world haters me, I'd be doing what I can to build some protection. Thats whats casing this: diplomacy is a tool to sell arms
Boys and their worringly powerful toys. No easy solution to this one. Just got to hope that moron in the White House doesn't do anything rash to massage his ego, else things could get very messy. Equally Kim Yong (I so badly missed out as a child cos I never got a Tonka toy) Un, is treading on very thin ice. It's not a great state of affairs with two F##ckwits at loggerheads.
Suspect it's more likely his war-mongering generals and pay-master arms lobbyists will encourage him rather than adds voice of reason
Trump will be damned whatever he does. The point is his predecessors, going back decades, should never have allowed the situation to reach this stage. To take just one example, South Korea is heavily dependent on nuclear power stations for electricity generation. North Korea has banks of conventional missiles aimed at every single nuclear installation across the border. Its obsession with developing inter-continental nuclear-tipped missiles that can in theory threaten the US has been a blind for far more dangerous strategic "defences" back at home which threaten its neighbours, South Korea in particular but also Japan, which it has been allowed to put in place with the active support of China while previous US administrations and the international community at large looked on in silence doing nothing more than playing for time in the hope that when it all quite literally blows up it will by then be someone else's problem. The nihilistic NK regime is now issuing specific threats against the US. If it carries out any of those threats the US has no choice but to retaliate with military action. Trump will be blamed for the resultant carnage and possible catastrophic nuclear contamination (even without a single nuclear weapon being deployed) over a large part of far east Asia. His bellicosity maybe unhelpful at this moment in time but he is not responsible for allowing things to reach this point and the masochistic delight his western opponents take in any situation in which they can paint him as the villain is an absolute gift to the supposedly unpredictable Kim Jong Un who is entirely predictably playing it for all it is worth.
The Fat-Un is doing a good job of Divide and Separate between China; South Korea; Japan and USA - but I haven't a clue as to where it will lead.
