The only reason Trump started again with his idiotic threats this week is because he knew the news was coming about the FBI raiding his ex Campaign Manager's home in a dawn raid to seize financial documents (and more).
When dictators are up against the ropes the frequently try to start wars as a distraction.

Trump's done! Just a matter of time now before the moron and the majority of his monkey's are ousted.

Sadly for you your constant premonitions dont happen

You have been saying this all year, so you have a specific time in mind?

These things take a lot of time. The only vaguely similar situation (which really pales in significance compared to Trump's criminally treasonous activities) was Watergate and that took nearly two years to come to a head.
Mueller now has two Grand Jurys in two seperate districts working on this case. People don't get to that stage without significant evidence that obviously justifies assembling the team that Mueller has so far.

And now, with the FBI going as far as conducting a dawn raid on Manafort's home, things are really gathering pace.

Nobody lies as much as Trump constantly does if they have nothing to hide and are innocent. The more he realizes just how screwed he is the more of his own people he is turning on and the more they try to distance themselves from Trump in an attempt not to get caught up in the inevitable indictements that will come.
Be patient. It's going to happen.

I have seen a few videos of people(mostly women) ignoring, beating and sending the nk police force packing....i dont buy this slave nation idea.

Very odd that Trump has doubled down on the NK rhetoric but today he thanked Putin for expelling hundreds of diplomats. Why does Trump have tough talk for everyone except Putin?

Trump says he is ‘very thankful’ to Putin for expelling U.S. diplomats from Russia

M.A.D only comes into effect in this scenario if China or Russia were to get involved on NK's behalf... with Russia-NK relations being lukewarm at best and China-NK relations descending into frustration for quite a few years now, and China enjoying its economic relationship with the west probably far more than it values NK as an "ally".

Without outside involvement, the US could wipe NK off the map without much if any meaningful damage. Physical damage, anyway. The diplomatic implications of nuking the **** out of a population of innocent people under an oppressive dictatorship would be huge.

Agree with this post.
M.A.D wouldn't come into play with NK unless China got involved.I'm unsure if they would.I think it's possible since NK is so close to their border and they may see it as reckless.If the US was the aggressor rather than acting in retaliation then i think China could get involved.
War with China would be quite worrying.China has a missile which can take out satellites.They took out one of their own weather satellites a few years back as a display of power.With enough of these missiles they could wipe out US GPS systems which could almost cripple modern US weapons capabilities.
They'd be back to old school radar etc and many missiles with satellite guidance would no longer be operational.

We don't need to worry about nuclear war any time soon. The only thing which has escalated is the rhetoric, from Trump and especially from the media. Action hasn't escalated, and NK know that if they even try to attack the US, they'll be finished. Even China has said they won't help NK.

Hmm, that's not true. China has announced it will not support or defend NK if NK makes the first strike but will retaliate against the U.S if the U.S makes the first strike.

Making threats to NK is like wagging the dragons tail and Trumps been doing a lot of that lately. Trumps words while ostensibly directed to NK are, in reality, directed at China... NK is merely the proxy puppet for China. If Trump does make a first strike on NK, let’s see how long it takes for China and possibly Russia to unleash Armageddon and the four horses of the Apocalypse on the U.S

The best thing that could happen for NK (and most of the world) would be if all the Kims disappeared.

Oh Nicky!

What about all those innocent North Korean citizens ?

The only reason Trump has even stirred up this dangerous situation again this week is to distract from the rapidly worsening situation he's in now that his ex campaign manager has had his home raided by FBI agents.
It happened on the 26th of July and Trump new it would be reported
sometime this week. The fact that he's willing to put so many people in danger purely to serve his own selfish interests sums up this megalomaniac's repugnant agenda.
Several key locations in the US (including the Bedminster golf club where Trump is currently residing) were buzzed by a fly-past by Russian military jets this week too.
Trump also 'thanked' Putin for removing US diplomats from Russia this week saying that it would mean that they's save money because those diplomats would no longer be on the US payroll. Yet another instance of Trump not knowing how things work. The diplomats will still be receiving pay but will be doing so back in the US instead of for doing their jobs in Russia. He really is an ignorant man.

Agree. The raid on Manaforts house shows an intensifying of the investigation and that the investigation didnt trust Manafort to turn over documents. Curiously the raid happened the same morning Trump tweeted his transgender ban. I wonder if one had anything to do with the other.
