Trump has stepped up his twitter onslaught in the last couple of days, making himself look increasingly irrational especially with his tweets on London attacks, the London mayor and Trump's planned travel ban.

Yep, looks like he's decided he's going to troll Sadiq Khan.

Trump reminds me of a powerful Fire Brigade hosepipe that is snaking wildly all over the place skooshing out water with loads of folk trying to grab it and get it under control.
Actually, he's probably worse than that.

"Put on hold" says the headline, but if the story is true then it will never happen.

The Donald admits he is under formal investigation for possible obstruction of justice, in relation to the Russian hacking issue.

He'll be gone before the end of the year.

Trump is dodging bullets - metaphorically speaking.

[hibsbollah]

His lowest point was that speech a couple of days ago to the Boy Scouts of America. Why is he still talking about the size of his inauguration crowd? What a complete and total roaster. theres no doubt in my mind he's a jambo through and through.

Jeez... That administration seems to be a complete shambles, I'm actually surprised that many of Trumps followers haven't turned on him yet.... Is it just they don't believe what they are hearing?

The kind of willy waving bully who does very well in business by ****ting on everyone else. Not a good personality for politics, though.

The ars***les in London will be scurrying around hoping we can get in on this one. The recent election and the insistence of some politicians that they're up for a "strike first" nuclear policy was a very worrying departure from a doctrine which has kept us all largely safe for the past 70 or so years.

Yet all the attention was on the guy who said he'd be reluctant to fire them.

North Korea respond by threatening to strike Guam.

I know we've had rhetoric and sabre rattling from the North Koreans for years, but this feels like it's escalating well beyond that!

If the north fired any sort of missile towards guam, would there be a north korea left?

I would assume with it being a bit of a millitary base for the US they would have sufficient anti missile defences in place and as soon as it was in the air/destroyed in the air the koreans would be blasted to smithereens. I really dont see how or what the north can achieve from anything they are doing other than the death of many of its people, including the mental dictators.

If they strike first (especially if they attempt to use a nuclear warhead, which recent reports suggest they may have), then you're right. And if NK attack first, there's no way China could stand in the way of American retaliation.

China have a big role to play here as the North's only ally, and they need to be unequivocal in their condemnation of current rhetoric.

[hibsbollah]

There is no real evidence, except from unspecified concerns from American and Japanese intelligence agencies, that the NK has developed the capability to fire a long distance missile capable of hitting the US. Far less the technical ability to have a warhead attached. I'm very sceptical that this is going to be anymore than the usual aggressive verbals. My main concern is why the danger and rhetoric is being talked up. Who's to benefit? Just calm the **** down.

Seoul or Tokyo doesn't want a preemptive strike, and while of course while no one really knows what the North wants, they are not the lunatics that the caricatures would have you believe. Trump is a businessman and he knows two of the world's richest cities in flames won't help his bottom line. No one really wants war. I think.

Agreed. Personally I think it's all a shakedown.

I'm pretty sure Trump knows that too. I'd imagine a pay off is what they're after.

I heard an interview last week in which the observation was made that although NK have made strides in their technology, even when they develop the capability to fire a missile and reach the US, for the time being it would be comparable to lobbing stones over a wall, and that will remain the case until they develop a reliable long range guidance. If that's true then I'm not sure they would have the capability right now to actually hit Guam.

If it was the guy from Janes Defence Weekly I think I heard the same interview. They are four or five years away from having that capability. And of course every one of their neighbours (Russia China Japan South Korea and US submarines all along the coast) has nuclear weapons deployed and presumably targeted right at them. A fact which is not often discussed in the media. They are surrounded by countries who developed nuclear weapons before deciding to tell everyone else they were a bad thing. Which of course they are.
