Strange, Doc, that Trump is tempting his GOP adversaries at the same time that Kim is freaking out his (Japan, South Korea, even China). I'm referring to Trump's new strategy to embrace some Democrats while snubbing leading Republicans and blaming the GOP for all his failures so far. There's a symmetry to these two leaders. Both hold the world's fate in their hands. Both behaving like psychopaths. Both selfishly threaten annihilation of millions. And now both inadvertently pressuring others around them to take them out before all are destroyed.
If a martian were to come here and see what is going on, he'd never believe that a civilization would be so reckless and foolish as to allow two deranged men decide the fate of millions. Yet here we are.
Jeanne I was thinking the same thing -- almost like a naive "game of chicken" as a result of strange world views. Imagine the love and adulation for both the US and North Korean leaders if they were to unite their respective countries. Instead, it sometimes looks as if they're addicted to dark things. Things that lead to outrage instead of compassion from the populace. Strange indeed, and scary for all! Too many can be caught in the dangerous cross-currents of the decisions these two may make before it's over. Sigh.
Oh, I forgot this part....
Antagonizing those who seem to be allies appears to be a strategy to speed things up and cause surprise, intentionally or not. "I am my own man with absolute power" seems to be the unifying message. Yet this antagonism is accelerating both towards a reckoning - one neither leader may intend but is coming nonetheless!

I remember reading some article online about why aliens have not contacted us if they are out there. It discussed the viewpoint of the aliens, if you saw how people are mean to each other and all would you want to visit this dump? Pretty funny but true.
Another psychic predicts it will soon be revealed Putin is funding North Korea and suppling them with weapons. She suggested that the idea to ban emmigrents (sorry can't spell) and transgenders in the military was on Putins suggestion to weaken and cause discord in the US military. Putin was Head of the KGB and hates America. HE sees Trump as a buffon and a way to weaken the US. Please excuse my spelling I have Chemo brain and my wires get crossed.
Zoron just heard breaking news of a very low energy explosion at the North Korean nuclear test site. I did a quick scan, (60% estimated reliability). Its a new test of a very small, compact fission device, that acts as the trigger and initiator for a hydrogen weapon. Another sign that the Korean's are going all out, at maximum speed, to develop and deploy their new warhead, on a long range missile that can reach as far as london, and chicago, they are pushing hard to deploy a significant number of them over the next 18 months. At the moment, they only have a limited number of nuclear weapons. But even those are a potent threat. Sigh.
Any predictions that there will be a nuclear war?
I'm predicting that there is a 90%+ likelihood of nuclear war in the years of 2019-2020
Well,I am getting something unusual, that I am seeing for the first time. A bit strange.I have seen a new timeline, it has sort of appeared,as a split-off from the existing timeline. This was recent.There are two time lines running. The main one, and this one. The strongest one is the one we are on. The other one is an alternate future, which is rather bad. What I get is that one timeline will weaken, and the other one will strengthen. One will then sort of weaken to the point where it sort of snuffs out. The other timeline continues, and strengthens. I cannot be at all sure which one it is going to be. Have not really seen this before, and I am not describing this very well. I do not see an actual nuclear war in the next 18 months, but I do see scary things. A sort of brinkmanship, a confrontation, and almost a clash. Trump is playing things very close to the redline. He is spooking Kim, who is getting exasperated and angry. Kim is advised by some very sharp people. They are playing a hard game of poker here. Apart from the loud public rhetoric, like two kids in a school yard, some deep stuff is going on. Trumps team of handlers are struggling to get him on the right track, and he could literally derail the situation.
The TEAM-KIM are playing with great cunning. They have an absolutely overriding objective now.
This is to keep things from running out of control, and crossing redlines, whilst they charge ahead with all the resources they can bring to bear, to the goal, that they need another 18 months to do, and be sure to reach, and that is to achieve, around about Spring 2019, what they have recently described as "Military equilibrium with the United States". This they define as having a sufficient stockpile of new compact warheads, long range fully developed ICBM fleet of at least 100 launchers, and as many nuclear warheads as they can build. They are about 60 warheads short of strike force that can inflict enough damage on the United States to make it impossible to intervene, without taking a military strike on the USA that would cripple the country, and greatly weaken it, so that it loses its status as the Hegemonic hyper-power. This would make Russia and China the main actors in World affairs.
The Koreans do not wish to make a nuclear attack on the USA. The whole objective is to force a nuclear stalemate on the USA, while the Koreans do as they wish. What they wish is to seize South korea, which they can do, for a while, but with hideous loss of life. If the Americans intervene to stop this, then the Koreans will attack the United States. It will result in total destruction of North Korea, drag in China, and ignite a wider war. But the Americans will have to pay a horrible price, in lives, and risk losing their hyper power status. it would wreck the American economy for 20-30 years, while they struggled to recover.
All of this is on the present main time line, and does not lead to a major war, as the price America would pay is simply too high. On the new, weaker timeline, all of this happens, but it is a weaker timeline, at the moment. But expect things to hot up over the next 3 months. TEAM-KIM have mulled over using the present navel forces they have to act as an "At Sea, and on alert" deterrent. We are talking the subfleet here. it is edging that way. it would not be effective, militarily, but politically, it would have an effect.
At all costs, the objective for TEAM-KIM is to achieve the "military equilibrium" they seek, in about 18 months. I do not think they will achieve this. The USA TEAM-TRUMP are well briefed on this, and are in a deep quandary. They dare not strike, as it will result in huge loss of life in Asia, and some attack damage to the US mainland. But the longer they wait, the more dangerous it gets.
So both sides are now locked onto a track that is escalating. I think it all plays out, over the next 18 months. one big mistake, and its war. Both sides have cautious elements, who will try to avoid this. We will see some very scary things, I think. I will watch the new timeline, to see what it does, and where it is going. At the moment, lots of tension, and worry, but its brinkmanship, sabre rattling, and confrontation. But no actual war. but a small incident could change everything very rapidly. War by mistake is possible. But around 2019 to 2020, it sort of resolves, I think. We do live in interesting times.
Thank you, this has been in the back of my mind, and hoping it won't. What we can do: Keep clearing out negativity daily, stay positive, kind and loving. Spread love, peace and harmony, and do what we can to help others.
