Maybe someone will figure it out in both their camps.
I have to wonder what the American diplomatic corps in German-speaking countries is reporting back home, and if Tillerson is paying the slightest bit of attention?
SOMEone in the Trump administration has to know that an unprovoked nuclear strike on North Korea will lead to the immediate dissolution of NATO (which Trump has suddenly discovered he likes). By the same token, SOMEone in the North Korean leadership has to know that a first use of a nuclear weapon, or a missile "test" landing on Japan or South Korea, let alone US territory, will probably mean the end of their little dynasty within hours. The Chinese would probably be glad to do it for us. If they don't, Trump would be too happy to oblige. If he has to, he'll manage to send our fleet in the right direction. Even so, deranged as Kim is, he has to know the consequences if he goes too far. Our one consolation is that Kim probably knows better than Trump does.
Worst case scenario--Trump invites Palin and Ted Nugent down to the WH Situation Room during a nuclear confrontation.
