US Politics - Trump cancels summit having to do with North Korea

I wrote an undergraduate dissertation years ago on the escalating political problems in the South China Sea. Replace Bush with Trump, Il with Un, and Jintao with Jinping, and it's scarily more accurate

What will the aliens from alpha centauri think when they land on earth in a thousand years time and they start their archaeological digs?

All you can really do is hope that the military men around Trump know what they're doing...

"These strawberry floaters actually paid money and then displayed truck nuts? I am glad they wiped themselves out!"

On that note. I've just started this

That's some timing

11 hours 36 minutes? Someone around here is an optimist.

They could at least have the decency to wait until the end of series one of the new Star Trek series before wiping out all life.
I've been waiting years and to die now would be really strawberry floating annoying .

It's quite clear what needs to be done.

Tell President Trump that NK have fired a Nuke towards the US and he needs to get into a bunker. Then lock the door behind him. Simples. There should be enough food and supplies in there for him to see out the rest of his presidency.

He just pulled it out of his arse. He's brought the fear of nuclear war to millions, sent stock markets crashing and prompted a foreign power to threaten American territory...on a whim.

Surely the stock market should be going higher as the rebuilding program after a nuclear exchange is going to cost a bloody fortune.

Everything he has ever done has been on a whim.

Yeah but wages are going to rise and investors hate when that happens.

All the rebuilds will be Trump branded buildings though.

Lots of images on the various news sites of American B1 bombers - I thought the B2s were predominantly used to carry out theoretical nuclear strikes from the air?

I'm sure Kim is a lot more sane and rational than trump.

Don't forget the spray tan and hair mousse.

I'm sure that was the first thing he requested to be stored in the bunkers when he took office.

I think that's because they are stationed in Guam and realistically if something kicked off they would be used to drop conventional bombs before nukes are even considered.

It all depends on the scenario. If NK shot a missile at a US territory or base and the US manages to shoot it down then they would probably just bomb the missile sites with a massive amount of conventional bombs.

Hmm, makes sense I guess. Carry on.

I legitimately think Trump might snap, throw a tantrum, and order the nuking of North Korea. I hope the generals have the balls to tell him no.
