This makes a bit of sense but I think the main problem with it is the false reporting on the situation and hyperbolic natural of the comments from the president. Which leads me think it's all a distraction technique for a bigger plan by the government. Or just a distraction to get the eyes off of Trump's terrible presidency.

Surely anyone can see that North Korea's government are full of shit and don't have the technology to hit the U.S or even sustain a war with anyone, nevermind the biggest military force in the world. They have been cut off from most of the world's trading routes how are they getting the technology and materials for all this that they promise??

Yes bringing the authoritarian government down is one thing... but to play it as another cold war in which U.S is going to be under threat of nuclear attack is just not going to fly.

(P.s I don't really know.much on this situation so sorry if I got it all wrong but this is just an outsider opinion.. I welcome other opinions as well)
