Is today the day?

Western news correspondents in North Korea have been told today to expect a "big and important event". At times, in the past, this has amounted to nothing. Other times, however, this has heralded a test of either a missile or a nuclear warhead.

So, with Trump's “Armada” steaming full ahead towards North Korea, is this going to be what kicks off war with North Korea?

It's apparent that Trump is very keen on conflict. When we're talking about North Korea, or Syria, we're not talking about Russian connections to the treasonous Trump team. Distraction is one of Trump's absolute favorite tactics. Mainly, because it works. Our media has proven time and again to be as susceptible to distraction as the very dumbest of our population. At this point, Donald may as well be jingling his car keys at them.

So, if Kim tests a nuke today then what is the response? Tomahawks? Airstrikes? Both will be a clear declaration of war. North Korea is not Syria. This isn't pantomime any more. If we attack North Korea at all, if we fire a missile, a round, if we throw a fucking rock, we will be at war with North Korea. Period.

We are in the absolute worst position we could be in. We are sitting here today and wondering - “How will Trump respond to provocation?”.

The answer, unfortunately, is probably “Not well”.


I fear that by the day's end we will be at war. Someone should tell Donald Trump that you can't win a war from a golf course.

Trump - Conning the media again.

Wow, that Syria distraction sure was effective.

Call Putin and warn him. Putin warns Assad. They clear the airfield, let the Tomahawks make some noise and move some dirt around, and get back to work on their still completely functional runway.








The most obvious of political pantomimes.

Meanwhile...




And this is the real story. North Korea is looking like a likely target more and more. Trump wants to start a war to save his presidency. He's going to use it to consolidate his power. "We don't have time to investigate this Russia nonsense!" They'll say, "We're at war!".

And North Korea is playing right into it.

"North Korea says a US missile strike on Syria "proves a million times over" that it was right to strengthen its nuclear programme, state media report."


North Korea has WMDs and it's dictator is breaking our sanctions. We have to act, they say, before he starts randomly shooting off missiles at other sovereign nations. How do you do this the day after firing 59 missiles at another sovereign nation with a straight face? Missiles that he fired, by the way, while he was meeting with the Chinese President. He told him that shit at dinner. I'm sure that's just a coincidence, though.

So instead of sitting down at the table with North Korea, which is really all that lil' Kim wants from us, we are going to attack them. Trump has drawn the line for China, his aggression towards North Korea is evident, his forces are moving into place, and he is exactly the kind of nutcase that would start a war to save a presidency.

And the media will fall for it. Just as those "beautiful" missiles distracted idiot talking heads with bright lights and loud noises so too will this impending North Korean conflict. They'll forget all about Russia and go into 24 hour news war mode. We'll all be far too busy watching night vision videos of rockets bursting in air to worry about the Russians' compromising our entire government. We need to be keeping our eyes on the ball and they're going to be distracting us with shiny things. These are the times that CNN and their ilk are bad for America.

Time is of the essence.

Remember those people that said during the election “Trump can't do half of the crazy things he's saying he'll do”?

“Don't worry.” They'd coo. “He can't hurt things that much!”

But, oh dear, is he trying real hard right now.

I'm not being partisan when I say that he's destroying our nation's image among allies and foes alike. Republicans are feeling it, too. Trump isn't even a Republican to begin with. You've known this all along really, Republicans, but the win was important to you. Now you have to decide if it's more important than the country.

Nevertheless, those optimists from before the election were technically correct, which is the best kind, when they doubted his ability to destroy us all. It is not, however, from lack of effort, ability, or motive, but a lack of intelligence. He tried to pull off a great con, because DONALD TRUMP IS A CONMAN, and he isn't smart enough to pull it off. The marks are starting to get wise. The jig is up. The buzzards are circling the carcass.

His network of shady businessmen is already crumbling. Soon, it will be every man for himself in Trumpland. If you're paying attention you can actually see the wheels coming off. They'll tear each other apart trying to stay out of jail or, on the Russian side of things, not get straight up murdered. These men aren't built for prison, even a cushy federal one, and they know it. Maybe they'll surprise me and we'll watch Trump grow old gracefully on the lush links of Agola state penitentiary.

Even if Pence survives the impeachment things will be improved. Just think of everyone that goes away when Trump does. Bannon. Gone. Tillerson. Gone. Sessions. Conway. Kushner. Ivanka. Gone. Spicer gone, obviously. That little bottom feeder will be lucky to get the Easter bunny job back. I'm feeling increasingly secure in the knowledge that Mattis and McMaster are around. If there's anyone connected to Trump that I have any faith in, it's those two men. We're going to need guys like these in the coming days. This treason will tear our government apart but what rises from the ashes is up to us and we need to remember; Country over party.

Trumpkins are starting to get that now. They're seeing that they were lied to and they do not like it. They're not ready to admit defeat to liberals yet, so bitterly do they hate that word, but they're beginning to acknowledge that this Trump thing may have been a mistake. They're less vocal in their support and much less eager to defend him. I don't see a whole lot of MAGA hats around these days, do you? His slowly eroding base should give hope to all patriotic Americans. Hell, to people all over the world.



One thing still looms ominously on the horizon - North Korea. Trump is rattling sabers loudly and I think that it's because he believes a war will save his ailing presidency. I believe he's insane enough to try regardless. He's not going to go down easily. Oh no, not our Donald. Trump is going to go down kicking and screaming, taking everything and everyone along with him, fighting until the bitter end. Hopefully, we can stop him before he starts something that we can't fix.
