Also the lame stream media in the US is so busy Trump bashing that they are not reporting on a lot of things including North Korea. Well you probably have a point there but I'd probably not believe everything I read in a Russian newspaper either. They're hardly known for keeping their citizens informed.

This morning I heard a news report where a NK official said they're ready for war with us. They think we're going to start it. I hope not. No one seems to remember that back in the late 70's and 80's both us and Russia realized no one can win a nuclear war. To listen to NK talk they don't seem to understand this. And this is what I'm worried about. I'm hoping NK is just talking big to save face. To Oriental peoples saving face is more important than saving lives. I hope Trump realizes this. Let them talk big. I just hope Trump doesn't attack them. I like Trump, I didn't at first but I chose him over Hillary. The one thing about Trump that scared me was he thought we could have a nuclear war and win. I only heard him say it once so I assume his General friends told him he's wrong. But he is hot headed and impulsive. Bombing Syria was an impulsive act and I think he shouldn't have done it. NK has their fingers on the nuclear triggers. We have to put aside all pride and let them talk. I'm worried. This is the worst crisis since the Cuban missile thing in 1962 (I think). I was only 10 so all I remember was all the adults were very nervous. We all need to pray for peace. And let's hope peace is God's will right now.

I find that often the foreign press has more accurate reporting than the U.S. press. They do not adhere to the Democrat vs. Republican dichotomy.

I think countries thought they could walk all over America in Obama's administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of Iran holding 12 or our sailors at gunpoint and getting nothing but an apology from John Kerry as a response. I'm thinking those days are over.
