Vox runs a plausible, if worse case, scenario about what a war with North Korea would look like. The count would be in the millions of dead with the full range of Nuclear, Biological and Chemical weapons likely being deployed by North Korea against South Korea, Japan and possibly the United States.
It's horrifying. I know quite a few Koreans over the years of teaching in boarding schools. I'm sitting in class right now with a Korean student right now. It takes a miligram of empathy to want to avoid a war on the Korean peninsula. Yet, I have a sinking sensation that Trump will wait until close to the mid-terms and launch a war there to boost his flagging poll numbers or deflect from Mueller indictments.
Maybe we should let him have his Stalinist military parade, if it keeps him away from the real thing.
Thanks, Republicans.
