What will come first? Mueller firing or war with NK?

As we all know, a cornered rat is the most vicious, and Dotard is now being cornered. So, what will come first? Will he fire Mueller, as he so obviously wants to do, or will he wag the dog to try to get president in wartime shield bonus he desperately needs?

Do you think there might be more opposition in the coterie around him to actual war, though?

Now that indictments have dropped and someone close to the campaign has flipped (Papadopolous) firing Mueller now would accomplish approximately nothing.

There's a hope that if the loathsome one fires Mueller, Americans would protest - even those who've been on the fence so far. A war, though, makes many Americans more truculent in their support of the President, regardless of how criminal he may be. He'd be beating the patriotic drum so hard even many Democrats would have to join the war support or face treason charges or death.
