Testing is only testing...

A nuclear war is almost inevitable and can now happen at any time.

The only thing that could stop it at this late stage, is an agreement between America and China whereby America agrees for China to step in and invade North Korea. In return, China would ask to annex North Korea - and America should accept this condition.

But will Trump be a good businessman in this instance?

We shall soon find out.

That wouldn't work, Yuyutsu. If China tried to annex North Korea, North Korea would suicidally nuke China.

But nuclear war is far from inevitable. Kim Jong Un obviously wants something, so there is obviously scope for talks despite what Trump's tweeted.

And sooner or later Kim Jong Un will die, and his successor's almost certain to be more reasonable.

I don't think that we have much to worry about.
It's more bluster from this American President.

Despite his response to North Korea's latest
nuclear test to stop trading with any country that
does business with the rogue nation - such a move
would have massive economic repercussions for the
US as well as the global economy. It won't happen.

China is the largest trading partner of the US.
In 2016 the US imported $462.6 billion in Chinese
goods and exported $115.6 billion to China.
Eliminating business with China would be a tremendous
blow to the US economy and would send retail prices
soaring.

But its not just China. India accounts for about $1
billion a year in trade with North Korea and does
about $64 billion in business with the US. Pakistan,
Russia, Thailand, Philippines all do tens of millions
of dollars in business annually with North Korea.

Even major US trade partners such as France, Mexico,
Brazil and Chile do business with North Korea.

Cutting off trade with all these countries would be
virtually impossible and economically catastrophic for
the US and could potentially trigger a global recession.

How on earth can anyone take what this man says and tweets
seriously.

Why would stopping trade with any nation that traded with N. Korea have massive consequences for the US and Global economies?

Dear CE,

Read my previous post and the figures given
then take an intelligent guess.
