Will Trump order a strike on NK?

I have no idea. Starting to think he really is a militaristic maniac.

There is no war going on in Korea right now. That's one big difference between it and Syria/Afghanistan. Striking there would be starting a whole new war where none existed. It would also be the first military strike on a nuclear power since WWII. It's sheer insanity, and the fact that it's even being considered shows just how fascist this country is becoming.

This is absurd... in the future, English will be the world language as lingua franca. It is spoken not only in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia, but also places like India and Nigeria with fast-growing populations and economies... and it is the most studied language in the world. Chinese is an extremely difficult language to learn and it will never become popular in the US. Chinese schoolchildren are already required to learn English as a second language, and proficiency is required for university examinations. None of this will change. China's economic growth has already slowed down a lot, and will never return to the levels of the 1990s and 2000s.

The paranoia here is absurd... the idea that we have to start WWIII to prevent an imaginary rise of China or that Santander is some prophet from the future is just bizarre. It goes against any evidence of the ability of time travel. Fantasy stories are just that, stories made up by Hollywood.

Interesting to note the tone of some of these replies, in this thread, other threads and elsewhere. "well military interventionism in the middle east is one thing, you can agree or disagree with that as strongly as you like. But attacking a commie government that's just unthinkable and stark raving mad! Dear god don't attack any reds, please dear god don't attack any commies, its just too dangerous! Please for your own good and all our lives, please don't hit the reds"

The left never seems to change.

Yeah, not wanting cities of 20-30 million people to be nuked or decimated with artillery is really insane. How dare the left!
