Re: The World at War
Regardless of what we all think was the motivation (for NK or US response) the best thing that's happened is that the needle has moved.

We discovered that China is a paper tiger and their word is worthless. This is priceless information as we enter trade negotiations.

That is one positive out of this mess.

Trump is a big man carrying a really big stick and I am pretty sure that Kim Jung Un is finally realizing this.

Pompeo calls for review of security assistance to Lebanon

Mike Pompeo used his first official appearance before Congress as secretary of state to call for a review of US military assistance for Lebanon following Hezbollah’s gains in this month’s elections.

Washington has long relied on the Lebanese Armed Forces as a bulwark against the Iran-backed Shiite paramilitary group’s influence in the divided country. But critics of the army’s unwillingness to confront the group, which plays a dominant role in Lebanese politics, are gaining traction as the Donald Trump administration pursues a more aggressive stance against Tehran.

Re: The World at War
This confirms what i had originally foreseen happening. The fact of the matter, is that we're the closest to open war we've ever been in North Korea. By no means are the peace talks over but if they break down from this point even further you need ask yourself whats next. If you ever get bored go look up some of their online new papers publications. They've been practically offered everything under the sun to denuclearize but wont budge any further than allowing a test site to collapse.

Personally, IMHO you can thank John Bolton for the "we'll pursue the Libya model if you dont comply" comment.

Here's my question.

Is this a power move by POTUS to psych out Un-The-Kid to have him to the table and talk peace?

OR

Is this the real deal with actual intent to go kinetic?
 Quoting: Noble Six


Personally, I think it's to watch for backroom meetings between DPRK and Iran.

I don't think he ever had any intentions on going through with the meetings. The WH has already confirmed that China hasn't followed through with any of the sanctions on NK and never intended to.
 Quoting: ~Jazz~


Then what you're proposing, Jazzy, is that this was all a ruse from the get-go OR this could've been a destab operation designed to further erode any chances at reconciliation.
 Quoting: Noble Six


With what we know about DPRK/Iranian collusion, was there ever any doubt that NK didn't have any intentions of peaceably reconciling with anyone?

ETA: Or should I say...they would never be permitted to reconcile.
