The "Cuban Missile Crisis" question was just asked on MSNBC's MTP.

What if we reach a 'Cuban Missile Crisis' situation on the Korean peninsula?
What they didn't ask was "Without a John Kennedy in the White House".
That was also before twitter.

Could the yam-in-chief set off Jung-un with a tweet?
We. Don't. Know.

And that is just chilling.

The problem isnt him, in that in the past he could be handled, knowing what a childish murdering piece of shit he is, knowing how to deal with him, etc. (admittedly the nuke situation makes this worse, all the more reason the LAST person alive to handle it, trump)

The problem now is we have someone unfit to be assistant manager of a convenience store, let alone be president, deciding how to handle this complete lunatic.

Add to that Trump not having a clue about geopolitical issues, he knows absolutely nothing and is unteachable.

We are going to have a very big problem, but hey, better than someone with a private server who gave a speech once, right?

I'm not even kidding. That is my best solution. Forced diplomacy.
