This is awful. 😱

The DPRK news feed on Twitter has this little gem :

Orange-faced oaf Donald Trump threatens DPRK with "fire and fury," yet delivers only wind and flatulence."

It's seriously scary though, this generations equivalent of the shenanigans with the Cuban missile crisis.

May I please ask more politically savvy posters here, how come the UK and US cam down hard on Iraq's alleged WMD but stand by as NK is launching missile after missile and allegedly close to being a nuclear power?

This tweet seems fairly pertinent right now...

It's because Saddam pretended to have WMD, and we knew that Fossil, and Kim don't have to pretend and we know that.

doesn't

I know I'm worried when my grammar goes.

And Chris Pratt just became single!

Maybe that's why; he's realised that love is officially dead and there's no point living any more

In all seriousness, POTUS cannot declare war - only Congress can do that. Yes he has the launch codes but I doubt even The Orange One is stupid enough to go down that road. Hopefully his Secretary of Defence and the Joint Chiefs can keep things in order.

Perhaps I have too much faith in human nature...

Will the CIA not but a god damn bullet in his head before he causes absolute devastating carnage?!

Hopefully his Secretary of Defence and the Joint Chiefs can keep things in order.

Tomorrow's headline - Trump hires himself as Secretary of Defence.

I'd like to think I'm joking but based on the last six months, nothing is guaranteed

That's a parody account.

@Fossils because A) North Korea actually have WMDs and B) They don't have any oil.

It won't happen. It's bloody terrifying but it is so unlikely. Mutually Assured Destruction means that someone would shoot Trump first and NATO won't allow it. He can't make the decision on his own - that isn't in presidential privilege. As bonkers as the Republican party can be, they won't let him do it.

They made a fart joke?

Oh Lordy. I am crying

Keep Calm and Carry On.
Don't scare your DC.
Bring the washing in (don't want it made radioactive)
Have some

WTF else CAN you do?

DancesWithOtters you are humanity's last hope. Your mission: find Chris Pratt, and show the world that love exists after all.

The fate of the world rests in your hands. You know what you have to do.

@orlantina of course it is

I'd just point out, at the risk of sounding blasé, that North Korea don't have a missile capable of reaching the UK.

Well that's OK then because, after all, all of MN and their families are in the UK.

Wow, massive overreactions and dramatisations on this thread. It's just willy waving; no need to be worried. Nukes will not be fired.

WTF indeed.
And I'm really trying hard not to think about it as I'm respectively 600+ And 3000 miles away from my DC

Winter is here.

Have you not read "on the beach" cave? Clouds of nuclear fall out drifting round the world killing everyone. (I'm being a bit tongue in cheek but only a bit)

And as PPs have said, if it DOES happen there's not really much we'll be able to DO about it.

No point in worrying really. If WW3 does break out, it will be over very quickly.
