    I wish this was so. The press has been doing a very good job presenting NK as the biggest threat to life on earth. Now "75 percent of Americans believe that North Korea presents a critical threat to the United State".

    The jewel of UK journalism even comes up with rubbish like this:

    North Korea ‘could kill 90 per cent of Americans’ US intelligence experts claim | World | News | Express.co.uk

    Already, A majority of Americans favor deploying U.S. troops if North Korea attacks South Korea. It would be very easy to create a false flag event, and say that the South Korea is in mortal danger.

    A majority of Americans favor deploying U.S. troops if North Korea attacks South Korea, poll finds – The Denver Post

    While of course most Americans have no idea where NK is:

    Almost two-thirds of Americans cannot find North Korea on a map: survey | South China Morning Post

    Trump is an idiot who desperately wants to be popular. It will be very easy for him (or for anybody with a bit of a brain) to argue that if the US waits for longer, NK will just have more nuclear weapons, so the US has to act now. His popularity will sky-rocket. Remember how everybody said Bush was an idiot, and when Sept 11 happened his popularity increased, and then again when he invaded Iraq and Afghanistan?

    I think it will only be instigated by NK. The people around Trump know that if he attacks without proper provocation, then it will make them (the USA) look bad. however, the behaviour of North Korea has pretty much everyone at their tethers end, so it will take firing of missiles close to Guam or an ally to push them over the edge. Then the US will attack and have reasons to justify it without trump worrying about his popularity or the consensus of other countries such as China.

    Will be either back up, or fall further in the next few weeks.
