The world has become a more dangerous place over the past couple of weeks. While there are many conflicts that seldom make the headlines, just the ones that do are enough to give one pause.
We recently witnessed the gas attack in Syria that killed almost 100 people followed by a surprise barrage of cruise missiles launched by U.S. warships at the airfield from which the gas attacks were allegedly launched. This created the expected crisis in relations between the U.S. and Russia. If there was hope of relations between those two countries improving under President Trump, it would certainly seem that goal has been set back considerably.
We’re also witness to the regular provocations and belligerency of Kim Jong-un of North Korea. Could President Trump be getting ready to deal with that problem? It seems possible since a U.S. aircraft carrier battle group is on its way to the Korean peninsula. And we now learn of Chinese troop movements near its border with North Korea.

Just people talking.
Right on Doug Hickman. Well said.
I think trump and the leader of China came to some agreement..I think it’s going to go down one of two ways..ether we bomb Kim and take him out and China is gonna come in to keep order and help run the government..or China is going to just invade them and get rid oh Kim themselves..but I think China is going to let us bomb him to get rid of him so they aren’t responsible for the killing of Kim..and also to avoid American troops being sent in..I think China is gonna help us with this..they know the guy is a fruit loop
Because China doesn’t want American troops in north Korea I think we’ve struck a deal with them..at least I hope so
What’s the deal with aircraft carriers? Why do they pretend like they are a threat, when it would be ridiculously easy for a country with modern weapons to drop missile after missile upon it? Even if you have missile defense, it will run out of ammo eventually.
It’s funny how some people actually believe that a significant portion of our navy would be limited to a floating platform in the oceans.
China becoming a world giant in the economy makes it inevitable that a war will never happen. China needs us way more that the little$#%&!@*jerk.
we should bombard North Korea with small condoms marked Extra large Like Nixon did with China.
That’s too funny, 150,000 troops? This won’t be a ground war people it will rain fire from the sky’s.and all those troops can sit and watch it happen
There is no touching our aircraft carriers. The are not just sitting there alone and unprotected.
There’s probably 4 nucleur subs beneath it. Air cover above it. And loaded with American air supiriorety. Has laser defence systems as do our destroyers.
There is no force on the planet that can match the fire power of our Navy.
