The most likely origin of WW3 will be when North Korea establishes a ICBM capability with a nuke. The US (and partners) respond. This will happen around Jul, 2018. Then, everyone takes sides. We're on the winning side at the moment.

Maybe someone as flaky as Trump might decide to wipe China out while the US still has a military superiority over them.
 
Yes that decision point is getting closer. Obviously China has zero influence over the kim jong regime as NK proves with continued testing. Japan, South Korea, U.S. are so restrained. Pre-emptive is not an option with millions of civilians so near the war zone.

China actually wants NK to scare the shite out of the US. It keeps the US resources tied up and out of the South China Sea. I think China is sitting back laughing at the west getting their knickers in a knot over NK.

Some US brass recently answered a hypothetical about nuking China if Trump so ordered.

Now that is scary in more ways than one.

The West know though. They just want to use NK, too, as an excuse for all that THADD and new military bases and weapons to point at Beijing and all its coasts.

Of course you are correct right there and thankyou for the opportunity to speak luutzu. You see it goes like this : there were once a short hairy legged white European bogan people with relatively huge brains, but lacking self control called Neanderthals (pronounced knee and her talls), who made a big no no by breeding with some black fellas while vacationing in the middle east and viola .... modern man was made. Ever since then the European blokes and the Asian dudes have been wrestling with the worm inside their head that forces them to do bogan things like gang warfare escalating into all out national wars and going to Bali without condoms, but drugs instead..... proof that making contact with inbred, primitive foreign countries and giving them a bit of knowledge can result in the undesirable spread of ar5eholes :vulcan:
 
I think we tend to reject too quickly the idea of a preemptive attack by the us: it is [Trump or not] a very valid option for the US, and we could blame Trump or the Russian after anyway if it causes more casualty than planned
Would not be idiotic as once NK has its nuclear warheads on and can wipre Seattle or Tokyo, it becomes impossible to control..I would not take bets on a that.and am cancelling a potential trip to Seoul..

Yes Rumpy it's all there for all to see but it's like watching grass grow, it will happen just like the bursting of asset bubbles when we least expect it but I don't think we'll have to wait more than 12 months

As a clarification, you're saying within 12 months for a war? Or within 12 months for bursting of present asset bubbles? Or both?

My own thought is that there's enough tension rising everywhere that we'll see some sort of major "event" before too much longer. Keep building up the pressure and at some point the boiler does blow up. Details are anyone's guess but the way things are I'd be surprised if it doesn't happen by the end of 2018.
 
I wonder if NK would be behaving like this if Trump wasn't in power. It seems to be a very personal thing. One way to dismantle tensions would be to have Trump ousted. Play nk with the old 'good cop, bad cop' routine. But the 'good cop' would have to be legitimately good - you couldn't have someone like Hillary or Obama. Who could it be?

Both I think, but Trump will be removed before war breaks out, I hope so anyway, that nut case in North Korea needs to be brought down but I'm not sure how without outright war. Russia is just standing on the sidelines waiting for Trump to do their dirty work,

Another flare up due to Americas presence a long way from home. They are arrogant, they fuel fires and they are conflict seeking. I don't want to be around the day America gets its ass kicked. Lies and propanda to justify Iraq war was enough evidence for me of the American idiots in command.

Pretty sure you can.

THAAD wasn't requested. The US dropped off a couple of systems into South Korea without its president knowing. And it's not because he just came to the job that he doesn't know.

He ordered an investigation etc. etc.... I guess he's been informed by his generals that South Korea is a vassal state and you know, invite it in please.

Saw doco where North Korea was bombed by the US so bad they ran out of targets within a week. Then they started on the dams, flooding all those downstream... Who knows how many North Koreans were starved as a result of the flooding killing the year's harvest.

That's not to say North Korean gov't is nice and all that. Just dude, they're not the one sanctioning trade against the West. They want trade, make money. And their troops on their border... it's their border, right?

But of course they're crazy and suicidal, as always. Wanting to take over the world when they can hardly feed their own people. It's like an Austin Powers movie... just take over the world, blow stuff up for fun?

Were you calling me names there McGee? I'd be quite unhappy about it if I understood what you wrote.
