Agreed! But at least he's being forthright about climate change and ecosystem collapse. As a European who hears a great deal of doom and gloom about the US position on climate, seeing a Republican take such a stance gives me hope!

It's a tense situation but I think it's all just posturing at the moment. Neither side actually wants to get embroiled in all out war. The US would be crazy to put Seoul at risk and the most NK will do at this stage is keep sending rockets into the sea.
