    Mr. Royale, indeed, but I think North Korea is on everybody's radar. Or are you suggesting a potential regional conflict could spiral to mean a US-China clash?

    Good morning, everyone.

    Mr. Royale, could you elaborate?

    In the summer of 1914 the entire British political establishment was wrestling with the issue of Irish home rule, which was the biggest issue of the day. By far. And one of the most controversial- including a possible armed uprising in the north.

    No-one saw WW1 coming or put much effort into trying to ameliorate it.
    If the analogy is accurate I hope Theresa May's speech about 'leading the world together' with the US doesn't come back to haunt her. We should stay out of it.

    If N Korea sticks a missile on Guam, I think it would be annihilated. It would also improve Trump/Pence chances in 2020

    I don't think NK have accurate enough targeting and guidance technology.

    Most likely it would splash into the sea.
    What makes you think that? NK has access to modern tech (at least their military does), and guidance is nowhere near as hard as it was in the 1950s.
    There are reams of articles out there questioning North Korea's targeting and guidance technology.

    You wanted him as US President.

    Suck it up.

    There may be. But that doesn't mean the articles are correct. Too many people are treating NK's military as country yokels, and not as a force who have been planning attacks for decades.

    Missile guidance has been a well-studied problem for seventy years. The solutions to turn missiles into hitiles are well known and understood, and easier with modern tech.

    Why is it necessary to label certain candidates as "gay" or "lesbian"? If a candidate's sexuality is relevant then surely the other candidates should be labelled as "heterosexual" or whatever?
