Trump is friendly with Kim Jong-un. Donald Trump is well aware that
we're headed for war with China (Steve Bannon is an expert on
Generational Dynamics), and is well aware that Kim Jong-un building an
arsenal of nuclear weapons pointing at the United States -- leading to
World War. Trump is aware of all this, and by befriending Xi Jinping
and Kim Jong-un, he's desperately trying to prevent a world war, and
befriending these two maniacs is a small price to pay to prevent a
world war. Trump is aware of the Generational Dynamics predictions,
but like many people (probably including yourself), he probably
believes the predictions can be prevented -- which they can't. World
war is coming with 100% certainty, but I can't blame Trump for trying
the impossible - to prevent it.
As I've written in the past, everything that Trump does makes
sense to me. That doesn't mean he doesn't make mistakes, but
it makes sense.
Trump is not preventing anything by appeasing Kim, by keeping the citizens in the dark post-summit he potentially endangering the American People, Trump would have had much more credibility if He followed through with "Fire and Fury" like he threatened to do last year. The Will be a world war, but that World war does not have to Initially involve the US. The Boomers are not considering all the options, they are considering all the options that conform to their generations "morality" criteria, both Here and in Europe. That is the problem they (both EU boomer and US leadership) refuse to consider the absolute "all options". Any option that turns the refugees back in the case of Europe, or in which the US either abandons it's commitment to south Korea OR launches the first shot against the North in the case of US vs North Korea, is immediately rejected by the boomers without anything remotely resembling a fair and cool analysis of the option.
Also by the way, don't even think about only replying to the first sentence if you decide to reply to this statement.
