It's OK to disagree with the current president. it's not OK to wish for WW III, because you don't like him.
/e Try to remember that Kim Jong is just a puppet of China. In the many and varied rules of politics, China is using Kim Jong to "bother" the US. But the US can't say this in public, because China is a super power. It's all a game.
Yes, there are a lot of people's lives at stake, but in International politics, there always are. I don't think it really matters who happens to be president at this time. I think this would be happening...anyways.
China is making their "move" right now. They want to break international law, and ...confiscate the entire South China Sea and the countries surrounding it. NK is just a pawn. I think we all need to keep in mind, that we are really dealing with China here.
China can "save face" by using NK to insult the US. The US can save face by insulting NK instead of China. Depending on WHO is president might change the rhetoric, but it won't change the game...at all. If you want to follow politics, make sure you have the same score card as the rest of us.
