Well, every single time the current leaders want to be in or do something to a country, tension magically escalates to the point of war. Either we are sending rebels weapons, funding drug cartels, letting the Japanese bomb Pearl harbor, letting bin laden follow through with his attack. It's all the same. There is usually evidence to back it up, but the majority of Americans go right along with whatever story they are given first. They can't face the fact that the people they entrust with our safety are the ones risking it.

Hell, I wouldn't put it past Trump just to be antagonizing NK in some attempt to start a massive war, just so he can avoid being voted out in 2 years.
