    WWIII would be a cyber / economic war.

    China is winning. Will possibly overtake the US economy next year. No need to invade the US if they are gladly sending you all their money in exchange for the cheapest junk you can make. Hell in few years they'll be buying US assets for half nothing.



    IF the US had developed Star Wars missile defence and they didn't fear a nuclear retaliatory strike then they might be tempted to use nukes.



    But chances are Kim has left a nuke in a container park in a large US port so the ICBM's are a smoke screen. And both sides can make noises for the faithful and scare the doubters straight.


    Or the cheapo way is a fertilizer bomb. Historical ones have been the size of a small nuke. You can even liquidise the stuff and pump it from A to B so easy for a nation state to fund, develop and conceal even in a foreign country.

    Trump and the fat lad just a circus act to keep the masses distracted and on edge.

    Agreed. People are so easily distracted. They nearly crave the drama of it all. I blame Sky News...

    "We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that one way or another."

    Marty Morrissey, July 16 1945
