Trump v Kim

[Xiahou]

For a more serious study.

I think the results might surprise some:

"What drives these differences? Simple partisanship is one possibility. On average, Republicans – and Republican men in particular – were more likely to correctly locate North Korea than Democratic men. And Republicans were more likely to be in favor of almost all the diplomatic solutions posed by the researchers. (Women tended to find North Korea at similar rates, regardless of party.)"

Unfortunately, North Korea is a problem with no good solutions- they're all quite terrible.

Though my personal darkside advocates the use of North Korea for a 100 or so neutron weapon ground bursts. This would kick up enough particulate to reverse global warming for a few years and allow us to scale up the technologies needed for better geothermal and solar platforms. Fortunately, I don't listen to my darkside much.

Such a nuclear exchange would also severely impact crop yields worldwide and cause destabilizing famines in the poorest regions. If you thought the Syrian refugee crisis was big...

It also wont happen.

The north korean stockpile is primarily conventional plane bombs. The icbms, even assuming they have minuturized nukes at this point to put on them, are primitive compared to the US and russia's modern ones with likely worthless interception countermeasures.

Anything the NK launches will be shot down by either the US airforce or THAAD

Not that any of this matters for the immediate future; Kim blinked.

That's a great picture in the link, looks like someone drew a straight line on a map between NK and Guam, then wrote a few lines about it and that's KJU getting briefed on Guam attack plans.

It's the hats that do it for me, I imagine each officer has an aide who follows them around witth a bicycle pump.
