Angst Angst


I'm worried that I am not worried. The situation in North Korea keeps escalating with both rhetorical bluster and physical saber rattling coming from both sides ... see: Breitbart Article. The "fat little kid" in the north is capable of anything ... he poisoned his half brother and executed his uncle with a howitzer. Yet, ballsy Trump keeps pushing him. Yes, he could try to do horrendous damage to South Korea and maybe Japan and Hawaii too. But somehow I suspect we have these bases covered and, (hopefully) with China's tacit approval, could turn the north into a gigantic plate of kimchi.

Obviously Kim Jong Un is worried. He is supposedly now ensconced deep underground ... safe from a MOAB or even an atomic bomb. He even has several body doubles moving around on the surface as decoys in case of a U.S. Special Forces raid. But with the weapons of just one Ohio-class ballistic nuclear submarine, we could utterly destroy Kim's private playground ... hopefully before he had a chance to launch his counteroffensive. I'm sure that this conflict has been well war-gamed out by the U.S. and that Trump and his generals feel that they can push this tinpot dictator to blink first. Somehow, for whatever reason, I am not overly concerned. But l am worried that I may not be right.
