Is War Between the USA and North Korea Likely?

The media is foaming at the mouth at the prospect of a war between North Korea and the USA.

Is a nuclear war likely between North Korea and the USA? Are Donald Trump and Kim Jong-Un likely to go to war?

We say no.

It’s all theatre. Or at least, it’s all theatre now North Korea’s powerful neighbour China have clarified their position thus:

China’s state-run Global Times said: “If the US and South Korea carry out strikes and try to overthrow the North Korean regime and change the political pattern of the Korean Peninsula, China will prevent them from doing so.”

Book Review: Exceptional – Why the World Needs a Powerful America by Dick Cheney

The story includes a smattering of ominous, juvenile-level rhetoric from Rep.

American “Democracy”, Russia, Ukraine and the EU.

I read an article today I thought so excellent I wanted to republish it here.

We very seldom publish the work of other people here unless we think it particularly incisive and noteworthy.
