A few big nuclear blasts will have quite an effect on the atmosphere and climate as that poison drifts around the globe.

would have Trump hotels and casinos rising up from the ashes in Pyongyang in no time, along with golf courses. He sees it as a gateway for a boom in tourism in Asia

even if we've been diagnosed with a terminal disease, and no matter what beliefs we have in an afterlife or lack thereof. But most of us, by the time we're adults, understand the concept of death and recognize how awful things like war are because of the unnecessary deaths they cause.

To a narcissist like Trump other humans aren't completely real. They only exist to serve and aggrandize him. So no matter how carefully those around him explain how many millions would die horribly if he actually starts a nuclear war with North Korea, it's all just words to him. They're not human beings to him. They live far away. The notion that he might personally be impacted by such a war doesn't sink in. And that's assuming anyone around him is bothering to tell him what would actually happen were he to attack. Which isn't a given at all.

on between kim jong-un, putin, and trump. At this time they are creating a global scare tactic. Would trump really kill one of his wet dreams of a ruler? The three of them working together would make them more powerful than destroying each other. Do not forget that he has made good buddies with all or at least most of the worlds dictators. I can see dictator trump and the others bombing each other in some areas of their countries in order to install the final fear factor into the rest of the world. I would not put it past trump to have Washington state, Oregon, and California nuked. They are the farthest away from him and they are blue states which he has proven to hate so far.

for starters. If one wonders what the Fall Out Cloud would look like and direction of travel. Pull the Weather Maps after Fukushima Earthquake. Duh! How soon the Chattering Class does not want to talk about this. Does anyone remember the fifties and Sixties and the above ground Nukes at Mercury Nevada or the 1992 test that created the largest release of Radiation in History because of a Math Miscalculation which produced a under ground blast several times the original calculation.
