my comments: In the past few days the Trump administration has made several serious moves to place the North Korean risk situation at a higher level of alert. The military has been notified to be on higher alert, and the diplomacy moves have changed from meetings with North Korea to placing them back on an extreme level of sanctions. In my opinion, this is a signal that the US is preparing for a war with North Korea. From this moment forward a war could break out at a moment's notice, for the simple reason that with such actions sabre rattling defeats the element of surprise. It is rumored that North Korea plans to launch an ICBM - a nuclear capable missile with the ability of reaching the US mainland. It is possible that the US would shoot this missile, or missiles, down to remind the North Koreans that the US will not accept that communist nation as a nuclear threat to America.
