Why would the NK regime be so scared of an invasion lately ?
If they didn't bother with this nuclear stuff, they could get back to there weird dictatorship torture ways and no one bats an eyelid.
Pretty much sums it up as long as there's a few sane people around Trump to stop him launching nukes in a fit of pique because someone's got under his notoriously thin skin.Spot on.
It's also pretty interesting that the China - Soviet Union proposed compromise is that NK should stop its Nuclear weapons program and stop firing ICBM's, and in return the US should stop parading it's armed forces all around the peninsular. As I understand it, NK accepted. The US however said no thanks.
In that context, it's perhaps not surprising NK are continuing with their weapons program. They are basically shit scared they will at some point be invaded and the regime overthrown, and it would seem they have good reason to feel like that.
I might also add, it is inconceivable even for someone as potty as the Donald to launch a first strike. He'd either have to kill millions in NK in the first salvo (in which case, he'd almost certainly be tried for war crimes and go to prison, which I suspect he doesn't fancy much), or he'd leave NK able to retaliate and doubtless kill millions in South Korea, not to mention the 50,000 US troops there. Not exactly a vote winner, even if he did have no conscience and could live with the consequences of the huge loss of life he'd caused. Also not to mention the worldwide economic meltdown, all on his watch.
So Trump is powerless to strike first. And NK never would, since it would ensure their complete and immediate and total annihilation.
It's basically a total stalemate that's going nowhere, and the markets are similarly not that bothered about it.
You'd be surprised how little checks there actually are. If the president wants to launch nukes it's very difficult to stop him.Yes people, that's all it takes, The Don just presses a button (oh, and yes, it's red) in the Oval Office and that's that. There are no checks, no counter balances, no discussion, he just opens a drawer, then presses a button and hey presto North Korea gets nuked. And fucking dead right too..... he's POTUS, leader of the free world, why the fuck should he answer to anyone. Nuke 'em Don.......
Nope, that link is bollocks. I got as far as:You'd be surprised how little checks there actually are. If the president wants to launch nukes it's very difficult to stop him.

Well you'd know better.Nope, that link is bollocks. I got as far as:
If traveling, the president is patched in on a secure line.
If they can't spell travelling correctly then I'm not going to bother taking them seriously.....
