I, at least, have faith that Kelly, Mattis and McMasters are providing him with sound military advice. And I believe they'll publicly resign if Trump disregards their advice.
Kim Jong-un is the wild card here. Who's advising him from a military point of view? He murdered his Uncle and he's purged the ranks of his military several times. My suspicion is that he's gotten rid of the most militarily competent people in his fake regime.
Mattis, Kelly and McMaster have been fighting wars for the US for the past 20 years. The fact that they've been promoted and done as well as they have speaks to their competence. They've all been through the War College, General Staff college, and numerous other Schools the military puts it high ranking officers through.
The North Koreans haven't fought in 60 years. Where was their general staff educated? How were they educated? Do they understand the scale of the fight Trump and Kim seems prepared to wage? Can they provide competent advice to Kim without fear of being killed?
That's my fear, that Kim is insane and his incompetence is leading him to start a 3rd world war with more significant consequences than any of us civilians will understand.
