Greetings Readers,

    ‘American News Media has a low IQ; and TV hosts are Psychotic‘

Do words like these by Donald Trump enhance the office of the presidency? There have been nasty unwholesomed words spoken and written about Jimmy Carter, Obama, others, and Ronald Reagan, mostly Reagan was targeted as still acting, asleep at meetings*, and senile. There was no significant retaliation against the critics at the time, and in fact much of it was laughed off, but in Trump’s mindset he takes any personal or political slight seriously, personally and quickly orders his staff to, or he himself, tweets an unsavory responds. This is one of his many undignified characteristic flaws.

I feel however the Trump-GOP has a good point when it advances and degrades the Russia Witch Hunt Investigation as it will in all probability come to nothing, or a mere slap on the wrist. We already know Trump is a bad actor. From what I read attorneys say, obstruction of justice cases are hard to prove. So I think we’re stuck with the conman for at least one term, or if he does something historic in the name of safeguarding, protecting, the American people as, let us say, attacking and defeating the North Korean regime he could stay in the oval office longer than one term.

But first, Trump must victoriously, or at the least adequately, attack North Korea in Asia and ISIS in the Middle East because he’s got to live down the widespread perception, particularly among liberals, that he is a loose cannon and a ‘Warmonger’ which Trump has the potential to be one. Should events lead to war when and if it should come down to it Trump and his Alt-rights will tap dance around the accusation. At this time we do not know if the liberal Media or the so-called Deep State will go along with the president’s strategy as they did once erroneously in the Iraq II fiasco. Iraq II was a tragic catastrophe, a blunder that haunts us even today as one can see. (Originally brought to us by George and Dick)

Whether Trump knows it or not, his buddies, Steve Bannon and others are confirmed Machiavellians. (Empiricism and Realism verses Idealism) I am certain these fellows have advised Donald war with Korea would be a good political move, and I believe more than just suspect Trump feels it would be too. It is only a matter of timing, the right opportunity, the right moment and the U. S. will jump in and attack the Kim Jong Un Regime. It could happen at any time without valid provocation. An attack appears to be in the cards sometime soon, or well whenever.

Politically and internationally it would be the right thing to do by eliminating a cruel, friendless, regional nuclear threat, and show the world America’s moral and military might.

Steve and the club have counseled Donald there will be few American casualties as the U. S bombs from the air, shells from the sea, and launches missiles into the heart of the North. The colonials will do all the fighting on the ground, largely by South Korea with its mechanized 600,000 well-trained front line troops, but Japan and also possibly Taiwan could assist. Moreover, there will be tiny groups of rural undercover insurgents throughout the country planted by the KCIA to help in the invasion and cleanup.

A short duration of quagmire will follow as the South battles the fanatical holdouts among the 28,000,000 North Korean population. They will be the tough disciplined loyalists that most Northerners are and certain to be no pushover for the invading forces. They know how to survive, disappear, use and construct caves and hidden fortifications on their home terrain and to fight bitterly after years of indoctrination and training. Kim has dispensed teams of cadre to various locations and alerted his overseas diplomats as to their function when the inevitable day arrives. But the effort will be futile in the immediate and long-term because the insurgents will have no sanctuary for support. (It’s a peninsula)

Trump, Bannon, and Mattis will claim the kudos for the victory in the name of freedom and democracy. They will say, this is a great nation, the leader of the entire world, and they will be correct. South Korea and Japan will be appreciative and lower any existing trade barriers.

Trump is a gambler. He has gone bankrupt five times over his ego and financially over extending himself in business, but the odds are that it is a good bet China will do little or nothing in support of its neighbor brother. This is not June 1950. In the present day with ICBMs, and supersonic jet bombers are nuclear armed for intimidation and aggression and with worldwide military bases, a neighbor or an enemy can be next door or ten thousand miles away, it makes little difference.

In addition to this, China has grown fat from the days of Mao and Ping and most analysts believe the Chinese will not make waves, but continue on its merry economic ways. At this point China desires peace to attend and build the future.  The American economic powerhouse heavily relies and thrives on war, conflict, and economic control of others. One will find China has not invaded or occupied another country since Tibet in October 1950. The South China Sea island dispute is a moot and complicated question, but likely it could have dated back to the old Chinese Empire. (Reminder of the current Crimea-Ukraine, Russia dispute) 

All the Best to you,
