Is it true that Trump said that major conflict with North Korea is possible?

I doubt it as China does want such a conflict. The last thing that the Chinese want is America winning and then being just across a river from China. They would prefer No. Korea being across the river instead.

Trump is ignorant. Korea has satellites orbiting the earth. One high altitude explosion will take down the American electrical grid. Even Trump is not stupid enough to poke a stick in the eye of a rattlesnake.

Absolutely. Trump is too stupid to fully understand the ramifications of provoking North Korea. They can flatten Soul in less than an hour wirh artillery fire and there is nothing we can do to srop that. Anti-missile weapons are no defense against artillery shells.

The North Koreans strut and flex their muscles every few years. What's going on is nothing new.

Fat Boy is a bit unstable, yes. now, what do you call "major" conflict?

Yes, he is right. Anything is possible. Is conflict certain? No. He was merely expressing that he doesn't know how it will turn out because that depends on a lot of other people, not just him.

Trump wants to rattle the saber, he wants to talk tough. So does Kim. So the two of them keep trying to outdo each other with threats. But if you go by actions, not words, neither country really has an interest in attacking the other. The fear is that after building up the rhetoric on both sides, one or the other leader will feel obligated to attack after promising it so strongly for so long.

Actually he said "major,major conflict". And yes that is one possibility.

Anything in this World is possible except honest reporting from CNN.

Yes. They have to be dealt with
