Trump on North Korea - Update 2 - Trump Era

BBC News - Live Reporting: Reports the following in its 4.37pm post, " The North Koreans announced Thursday morning that they had collapsed the tunnels at their nuclear test site, but they accompanied it with threats of nuclear war and a demeaning swipe at Vice-President Mike Pence. Mr Trump has shown time and time again that he won’t abide verbal swipes from the North Koreans.

He responds to their nuclear sabre-rattling with another round of “fire and fury” style language, boasting about the massive and powerful US nuclear arsenal that Donald Trump prays to God will never be used. It’s a return to the rhetoric of last summer, when it appeared the US and North Korea were headed toward a military confrontation. The start of the letter may be diplomat-speak, but this is Mr Trump’s voice coming through.  "

Lets Get Real:

It will be interesting to see what North Korea says about the cancelled Summit, will they back track and allow Trump to put the Summit back on or are they under pressure from China not to give to many concessions to the Trump Oval. Of course since North Korea is such a mystery, it is a closed society, the leadership could be under pressure from other forces within North Korea.   One suspects that the North Korean Army does not want to give up its nuclear arsenal, also the treasure of North Korea is spent on the armed forces, one can not discount that view.   One suspects there will be Summit, of course that depends on Trump and Kim Jong-Un, there still might be WAR.
