Senior aides to President Trump repeatedly warned him not to deliver a personal attack on North Korea’s leader at the United Nations this week, saying insulting the young despot in such a prominent venue could irreparably escalate tensions and shut off any chance for negotiations to defuse the nuclear crisis.

A detailed CIA psychological profile of Kim, who is in his early 30s and took power in late 2011, assesses that Kim has a massive ego and reacts harshly and sometimes lethally to insults and perceived slights.

Ahh...he really is a President reflective of our social media obsessed times isn't he? Is there not an emoji he could have just used instead of having ti expend all those words threatening another countries Foreign Minister...

They won't put any planes where there is a realistic prospect they will be shot down.
well that's just about anywhere in the world then. North Korean agents/special forces are more than capable of bringing down a plane with a SAM anywhere.

They shot one down in the Nixon era, killed 31 U.S. soldiers. Even Nixon didn't retaliate, with developing China relations at an important stage.
It's also worth remembering KJU declared war on the U.S. a couple of years ago, when the government ignored NK's call to pull Sony's mediocre stoner comedy, The Interview, from cinemas.

Can you imagine how this will look in history books? "In 2017 the US were taken to the brink of nuclear war because in between rounds of golf, the President refused to put his phone down and get off social media."

Only to be expected when a mad man is given the keys to the gun cabinet.
Well if Trump puts planes in the air anywhere near the Korean Peninsula then he really is the fucktard we have suspected he is.
Time for the USA to take a step back and de escalate the situation. Both countries are now being very stupid indeed.
Getting a bit tired of you seemingly blaming Trump all the time with scarcely a bad word to say about North Korea......speaking for myself here, but I would appreciate it if you could be just a bit more even handed. North Korea is a rogue state, the truly evil goings on there don't bear thinking about. Yes, Trump is a bit of a weird one but the North Korean regime are quite simply in a different league and shouldn't be tolerated by any civilised nation on earth. The US isn't run by politicians as such, but by lawyers in various positions of power who Trump and any other President come to that, have to run things by. As much as you may think it, he isn't in total control just as any prime minister isn't in total control in The UK. The possibility of him waking up one morning and deciding I'm gonna first strike and press the red button today is just not an option.....it would have to go through numerous fail safe channels before that became a reality.......which includes deep and detailed discussion with all manner of people in positions of power.....it just wouldn't happen. That may well not be the case with a retaliatory strike of course.....he may well have a very different chain of command in such circumstances. However........I dread to think what those fail safe actions are in North Korea re first strike implementation, indeed are there any.....it just doesn't bear thinking about!

There are very few fail safe channels in the US when it comes to nuclear weapons

It's not like Kim Jong-Un doesn't already know what the USA has in terms of military might.
Absolutely needless show of dick waving.

We saw that this week with he's disinvitation of the Golden State Warriors. He could have taken the high road, but that's really not the Trump way.
How low can people's expectations go? What does he actually have to do to lose his support?
It's like the most moronic guest from the Jeremy Kyle show has been offered a chance to be US President.

They simply signed a ceasefire which could be ended by anyone whenever they wanted to without any declarations surely?
