Fast forward...Now we are backing both Japan and South Korea vs what is essentially China. My how times have changed , or have they?
Trump draws a red line in the sand and NK basically pisses on it.
Trump has now redrawn the red line in the sand back to where it originally was.....basically if you attack us...we will bomb the fuck out of you.
So this is much ado about nothing. Trump trying to get his poll numbers up.
There will be behind the scenes deals to make all parties look strong in their respective countries.
Trump is playing his base.

Except North Korea will simply continue with their programs, (just like they have for the past 50 years), and in the future, probably within five years, they will have Thermonuclear Device, probably at least 1 megaton. And since there are those in the world to help them, (money), they will probably have a ballistic missle with enough thrust and a sophisticate enough guidance system to plant it any where on the Planet.
Keep in mind, the key to building a Thermonuclear Bomb is a Fission Bomb Trigger. (You need the temperature). They already have that, since it is much easier to refine the Isotopes of Hydrogen than it is to refine Uranium 235 or Plutonium, a Thermonuclear Bomb requires just the willingness to build it. The technology is pretty common.
If you disagree with this, give me the reason why. Is there anything that anybody is willing to do different than they have for the past 50 years to keep this North Korean Thugocracy from doing exactly what they have been doing?
That is, aside from making North Korea uninhabitable.
