Japan WARNS about North Korea and Sarin - North Korean Crisis

Daily Mail: Reports " Kim Jong-Un may be ready to launch SARIN-tipped warheads like the chemical weapons used in Syria, warns Japan  "

Lets Get Real:

South Korea and Japan will be on alert this weekend, it is expected that North Korea will will have another nuclear test, or even combine it with an ICBM test, this would not go down well the US.   IF and its a capital IF, the North Koreans have a successful test of their ICBM it could force the US under Trump to react, the Oval Office has made it clear that any such development would lead to US strike.   Of course North Korea could just be posturing, it might want more food aid from the US, or extra support from China.   One would find it hard to see a North Korea strike the South or threaten the Japan, the US would wipe them out, and China would have a major refugee problem on its hands.    Thus expect a lot of posturing this weekend from all sides, let's hope North Korea is not CRAZY.

Trump plays HARDBALL with Democrats over ObamaCare

CNN - Politics: Reports " President Donald Trump is threatening not to reimburse health insurers for covering low income people as a way of forcing Democrats to the negotiating table on health care. "

Lets Get Real:

It could be argued that this is unfair to the insurers and their customers, but it can also be argued that this is the ONLY way to deal with LIBERAL DEMOCRATS.  The Oval Office needs to get health care reform through as a way to cut taxes.   Thus President Trump should pull the plug, force the Democrats to come to the table, the elite liberal media will go through the roof, but then they are no friends of President Obama, it Washington D.C you have to deal the hard way sometimes, that is a lesson POTUS is learning after the first failure to get health care through.   The Oval Office should read the Presidential histories of LBJ, Reagan and Bill Clinton, the art of the deal is not science but art. 

The North Korean Theater - North Korean Crisis

Fox News: Reports " The Trump administration is weighing the possibility of imposing additional sanctions on North Korea if the rogue nation continues to fire missiles or conducts its sixth nuclear test. "

Lets Get Real:

It is expected that this weekend that North Korea will test a nuclear test, its to celebrate the birth of its founder, of course they could try the nuclear test combined with an ICBM test, thus it is interesting that the US has placed an aircraft carrier in the Sea of Japan, if North Korea tests an ICBM that is seen as a threat to Japan or US interests the US can take it down.  Also North Korea will have noticed that the US has hit Syria and hit IS hard in Afghanistan with the mother of bombs, a non nuclear device that is good at hitting caves, the type of defence used by North Korea.   Thus watch this space over the weekend, tensions will be up in Asia. 

The Afghanistan Theatre - Afghanistan War

BBC News: Reports " The US military has dropped the biggest non-nuclear bomb in its arsenal on an Islamic State group tunnel complex in Afghanistan, the Pentagon says. "

Lets Get Real:

The War in Afghanistan has been going on since 9/11, thus through the Presidencies of Bush 43 and President Obama.   The War in Afghanistan is endless, there will never be a clear win, it is good that the UK got out in 2014.   The Americans  have the men/technology and the money to pay for the War, they can keep IS,Al Qaeda or the Taliban from winning.   The geography of Afghanistan leads itself to endless War, very much like Vietnam.   The Western Alliance of NATO can bring hope to the people of Afghanistan, but at the end of the day its up to the people of Afghanistan to win this war on their own terms.
