I have to say, this is IMO a pretty unprecedented level of public pissing match if you look at the last 100 or so years of our country's existance.   If you were to just look at the threats going back and forth without the names, you would be hard pressed to determine which were coming from the USA and which were coming from NK. I can't figure out the game that Trump is playing, but I don't have all the info that he and his advisors have. Is Donnie calling Kim's bluff and we know that they in fact don't really have the technology they need to do any damage with nukes right now?  Kim and co pretty much tell the people of NK what the "truth" is, so if Kim blinks and they don't launch missles toward Guam by Aug 15, which by the way, has now been a dare laid down by Donnie, does Kim really have egg on his face with the citizens of his country?  What about Kim's military advisors?  Does he lose some of his juice if Donnie backs him down?  What does Trump do if they do launch missles in the direction of Guam, which I guess is possible?  He basically said he would wipe them out.  Will we go to war with NK if Kim rips off some missles in the direction of Guam?  Is Donnie going rogue on this or are 'his generals" on board with these "tough talk" tactics?

Y'all answer these questions, I really want to know what everyone is thinking about this.  It almost feels like there is a segment of our population that thinks this is some kind of big game without any real possible danger involved.

he knows when he talks tough at rallies, they all go nuts.  This is what he thinks they want to hear and he has little foresight or bigger picture vision than that.  He's still drunk Uncle Joe sitting on his sofa spewing off his machismo bull#badword# to anyone who listens.

We can hope and pray he has some kind of a strategy behind this, but I fear it's just his ego driven recklessness that is feeding his unfiltered bluster.
