Also, even though there was a strike on Syria in 2017, it was a limited one, and an admiral said there's no limited strike strategy on North Korea. He said it's either all-out or no war. I believe there's yet to be a resolution authorizing the administration to attack NK or Iran. They should know they'll be in bigger trouble to attack like that without an authority from Congress or the United Nations than without approval to officially declare war... even with some super hawks in the Trump Administration. We've had some pretty hawkish people in the Bush era and they had to get authority.
US forces are in combat around the globe without any new congressional authorization. In Syria there was even a recent attack by Russians against a US position. Trump isn't going to be constrained by Congress. Maybe he will be constrained by his generals but he has been systematically weeding out anyone who stands in his way.
Laura F and Paul W, I totally agree. The majority party has not said no to Trump yet. He's emboldened, and he knows he can pretty much do whatever he wants -- unchecked. We simply can't count on the majority party to wake up and do their duty or to provide any form of containment, and the minority party is powerless. As Laura so intelligently pointed out, we've already been in four wars and at least seven unauthorized illegal military actions -- all without congressional approval. And this was when our government was operating at a higher, more functional level. Even more alarming, Trump is flushing out the adults in his cabinet and replacing them with the d-team -- war-hawks like Pompeo and Bolton and crazy unqualified trigger-happy people from Fox. I hope Dillon is right. I hope we need an authorizing resolution of some kind, but right now there are no clues that suggest normalcy or sanity will prevail. And yes Jeanne, I'm hanging on to the vision that Trump will walk away or be removed, but my strongest sense is that this won't happen any time soon. No one wants to piss off Trump's ardent voters, and the calvary is still protecting him with all their might. A lot of damage can take place before Trump's outed, especially internationally.
Then how are we gonna avoid a nuclear war this year or even beyond? How is it that a nuclear one wouldn't happen, Jeanne?
Dillon. I posted a detailed response to your initial worry last night both here and on the prediction page. There are many ways that nuclear war would not happen. There are many ways that a nuclear would could happen too, mostly a blundering miscalculation by president or his terrified adversary. My hope is that a few people who read books are around him.
The situation Jeanne has outlined is a possibility. It is not yet a probability. It is quand feeling cornered ite possible though, and I am picking this up, that if the Korean crisis goes down into disaster, that there could be a regional nuclear exchange. If Trump does his pre-emptive strike, when the peace negotiations are found to be hollow, then kim will certainly take reprisals. The scale of the massive "Shock and awe" attack on north korea would probably lead to nuclear launches by Kim, against the American west coast, and also he would invade South korea and seize Seoul. This would be a huge international crisis. But i have to emphasise that this is an alternative timeline, it is not at the moment likely, and that at the moment, there are still chances of some kind of peace deal being achieved, along the lines of the Iranian Deal. But the dark element in all this is Trump. he is now clearly unbalanced, delusional, and very dangerous. The Koreans will not attack, unless seriously provoked. But as they say, if you stand next to a wasp nest and keep whacking it with a baseball bat, there will be consequences. But things are a long way yet, from there. The mainstream timeline is running towards some sort of non-military solution. But Trump is unstable. He is a mad roman emperor. completely out of control, and without restraint from Congress. So the timelines could switch over abruptly. We are now all in the hands of fate. The Global community has been hijacked by a Mad American emperor.Cross your fingers.
PS I have based the above on the timeline scans, and divination. But remember, the future does not happen, until it stops being the future, and becomes the present. Until then, everything, good or bad, is a probability.
I notice that in all the predictions that the people of the US, outside of the GOP do nothing. I find this hard to believe since everyone wants a gun to protect themselves from others and the gov't. if need be. Hasn't this always been their excuse? do Democrats do nothing? do the citizens that can see what is happening do nothing? just thought it was odd that everyone is scared but all seem to sit back and not try to do anything about it. I find it hard to believe that all the people in this country will just allow Trump to take over. is there no one fighting back?
Brandy, I don't know what you mean when you say that people "do nothing." You wrote, Democrats do nothing? do the citizens that can see what is happening do nothing? There is a very high level of activism in this country. There is a large and tirelessly working press corps who do the research and write all the stories that tell us what is going on. There are activists organizing, calling on their representatives, building programs that take care of those who are being harmed or bullied, or need assistance, the elderly, the poor, immigrants, lawyers swarming the polls to make sure they are fair, people knocking on doors to get out the vote, this entire website is devoted to raising awareness which is doing something.
What do you mean, do nothing?
Last Dec., a psychic predicted some sort of warfare with NK by late winter early spring -- with missiles flying. Perhaps after a first strike by the US. CA in play again. Does this line up with Zoron, Zoron?
