WW3 with NK was never going to happen. People talk like North Korea actually wants to fuck with America, it’s literally a scrawny guy at the bar talking like he could fight an MMA fighter.

yeah, but a scrawny guy with a gun can still shoot you in the back while you are laughing at him with your friends

Following that analogy, the scrawny guy also knows that you and your friends are all packing bullet proof armor and machine guns.

So even if he does get a shot off, it’s not going to hurt you very much. And then the scrawny guy will be turned into Swiss cheese.

I mean, NK’s actual card is its treaty with China, so it’s more like that fucking YouTube guy who would piss people off then have his bodyguard step in if anyone escalated.

In this case we’re talking about NK nuking a west coast city before being glassed themselves, right?

More like nuking Hawaii before the US turns South Korea into an island.

Could be. Still hurts though. I like Hawaii.

“Fire and fury” in 2017.

Also, the missile launches in Syria.

It kind of makes sense? I mean most likely though it would just be a proxy war in that case. Mainly because the U.S. wants to keep peace with China and vice versa.

The U.S. and China don’t want to fight in a military conflict. China is a economic power and wants to win out the U.S. through an economic takeover. It’s why the most militarily crazy thing China has done is send a balloon over and threaten Taiwan a few times, while economically they’ve taken over a vast chunk of our media and products. I mean from the clothes you’re wearing to the website you’re reading this off of, all Chinese owned. They want to make the U.S. and the west economically dependent on China, to pacify the U.S. and so far they’ve been doing a decent job. The U.S. is doing the same to China currently so its almost a symbiotic parasitic relationship currently.
