We should all hope that the war does not happen but it kind of seems inevitable. North Korea are imo immaterial. The USA could flatten the entire country with one huge bomb if they so desired, the size and magnitude of their nukes is staggering now.
However it is FAR more likely imo that you will see North Korea suffer an earthquake and possibly a Tsunami. Something they can't blame the USA on but which nevertheless the USA will have instigated.
And just how many troops have the Chinese army??? They could if they so desired roll over whatever forces that idiot Trump put into the field without drawing a second breath.

It really is down to China.
We just need to keep well out of it.
But this comes back to the question I ask you a while back .... will we keep out of it, or will we go sticking our nose in at some point??

I have no idea Mups, I have been out of it for years.
The only thing that I do know is that some of our Politicians still have delusions of grandeur.
Boris in particular.

That's what I was afraid of Floydy.

So maybe no action is better than a reaction?
