re: #153 Shiplord Kirel

A North Korean attack, especially a nuclear attack, is exactly the kind of “unforeseen event” (ie total catastrophe) that could put Trump in the White House. It would literally be suicide for Kim and gang though. Even if he survived the mega-shitstorm of retaliation, we would hunt his wretched little ass down like we did Bin Laden—-and he is probably nowhere near as resourceful as Binny was. So, they are not likely to do it. I don’t like having so much riding on the rationality of the NORK leadership though.

He creates a culture where some ambitious young officer takes that one step too far.
