Trump and Nuking North Korea
Donald Trump is one year younger than I am. I was born one week after the United States became the first (and only) nation ever to use nuclear weapons against another nation. I have lived my entire life with that knowledge. Donald Trump was born a year later. He may or may not remember "duck and cover" drills from elementary school. I don't know.
Now, in 2018, Trump is President of the United States. He's thinking about, and maybe savoring the idea of, once again using nuclear weapons against another nation, specifically North Korea. He appears to have forgotten what those weapons do to the targeted nation and to the reputation of the nation that uses them. Either that, or he does not care.
No other nation than the United States has ever used nuclear weapons against another nation. Since 1945, we have shed much of the horror nations felt from the previous use. If Trump does it again, especially in an unprovoked attack, that horror will be instantly renewed, and the United States will become a pariah nation in the eyes of most of the world.
But, Donald Trump Don't Care. That is his motto. It's of no concern to him, really. He knows that the North Koreans don't really have the capacity to wage nuclear war against the USA. They don't. We do, however, have almost unlimited power to attack North Korea. Trump wants very much to do just that. He doesn't understand what the results of that would be, though.
But, Donald Trump Don't Care! I do. You do. Everyone, pretty much, does.

because Harry got to drop the big one. Remember that suspicious explosion in Syria back in the Bush admin? I suspected that BushCo had dropped a nuke in the desert just to show that they could. Was never satisfied with the "answers" given by Bush/Cheney.
Yeah, it seems pretty obvious that Trump wants to nuke somebody. And yeah, Trump Don't Care is pretty much the definition of his presidency.

in their outlook. They know the consequences. There are notable exceptions, of course, and many military types tend to be overconfident about what the military can accomplish. Bismark said, "War is an extension of politics using violence." (paraphrased)
