Could Trump begin a conflict with North Korea to distract us from his Russia problems?

Kim Jong-un is firing missiles into the Sea of Japan, maybe as a way of testing Trump.

Trump is crazy enough in normal circumstances to take to take a swipe at them (trying to take missiles or whatever), but with his domestic problems, he may well "retaliate" to deflect attention from his Russia and fake wire-tapping problems.

He's even more likely to begin a conflict if he did collude with Russia in terms of hacking or getting information to WikiLeaks.

Is anyone else worried about this?

anything. I'm not only worried about it, I'm expecting it. The man is off his rocker and unless there is a rapid military coup to stop it, he's likely to "prove his manhood" at the drop of a hat.

At this point, it's still too much - even if they desperately need to distract and disrupt the Public even more to be able to get their agenda in place.

They want to turn the U.S. into an Oligarchy, but a nuclear war is a bit more destruction than most of them are willing to agree to. I think the Mercers and other "Family" types want to wield power over hundreds of millions of Americans far more than they want to bring Jesus back.

Besides, if they lose the West Coast ports, which is what will happen if they start a shooting war with North Korea, the World economy really tanks and takes everyone with it - no matter how wealthy they want to pretend they are.

And once the modern level of nukes are deployed, the entire Northern Latitudes becomes uninhabitable, and the modern world crumbles.
