Armada ......still incomplete to shoot down ballistic missiles

【Trump ‘Armada’ Sent to Deter Kim Can’t Shoot Down His Missiles - Bloomberg】 | https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-04-26/trump-s-armada-sent-to-deter-kim-can-t-knock-down-his-missiles?cmpid=BBD042617_MKT&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&utm_term=170426&utm_campaign=markets

What are the real objective of Donald Trump to announce the deployment of his armada to the Korean Peninsula when the navy has  not gave any orders to the aircraft carrier Vinson strike group to actually move to the Korean Peninsula and even the Carl Vinson strike group does not have the missile to shoot down any ballistic missiles launch from the North Korean side without others ships based in Japan. The US navy need to send others to be a real deterrent to prevent any ballistic missiles launch from North Korea.Until the North Korean see real capacity to stop them they will continue to view this as a bluff by Donald Trump and weaken any credibility of US in  future negotiations.

Finally it's the armada

This week the US navy has confirmed that USS Carl Vinson battle group and   guided missile submarine has in fact arrived at the sea off the Korean Peninsula. Now everyone waits for another tweet from President Trump to know what he intends to do to get North Korea to end it's nuclear and missile ambition. Or will he surprise everyone with no tweet or press conference until after he has committed US forces to end North Korea regime?

North Korea Armageddon

【Will China stand aside if North Korea wants to talk to Trump? | South China Morning Post】 | http://m.scmp.com/week-asia/geopolitics/article/2087724/will-china-stand-aside-if-north-korea-wants-talk-trump?utm_source=biweekly121_20170421&utm_medium=edm&utm_campaign=scmp_focus&emarsys=1≻_src=email_1879553≻_llid=142108≻_lid=142770325≻_uid=YXi8ijdlzd&utm_source=emarsys&utm_medium=email

When Donald Trump announced that the US is sending a great armada to the Korean Peninsula it seems likely it was an attempt to rattle the North Korean rather than a serious order to prepare for an attack against its nuclear and missile facilities after the US carrier Carl Vinson was spotted heading to Australia in the other​ direction. Then there was maybe US submarine heading to the Korean Peninsula. All the talk of war turned out to be empty at the time with no military assets sent until after criticism from many analyst that this has confused US allies whether US has credibility to do what Donald Trump says about North Korea. Now the US navy has announced that the Carl Vinson battle group is in fact heading to the Korean Peninsula after all. Whether it was purposely done to rattle Kim Jong Un or a misguided announcements by Donald Trump for TV remains unknown.

What does an attack on North Korea mean?

【Five reasons why the US cannot attack North Korea like it did Syria | South China Morning Post】 | http://m.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy-defence/article/2087904/five-reasons-why-us-cannot-attack-north-korea-it-did?utm_source=edm&utm_medium=edm&utm_content=20170416&utm_campaign=scmp_t

Can the world waits for North Korea to complete it's nuclear bomb and intercontinental ballistic missiles?

North Korea failed missile test

【North Korean Missile Launch Fails 'Almost Immediately', U.S. Military Says - NBC News】 | http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/north-korean-missile-launch-fails-almost-immediately-u-s-military-n747006?cid=eml_nbn_20170415

Will this failed missile test push Kim Jong Un to do a nuclear test to show his people that he has the ability to stand up against US president effort to pressure North Korea to abandon it's provocative nuclear and missile ambition? Most likely Kim Jong Un will respond with another major demonstration of his military capabilities after having it's missiles paraded the day before as a show of strength before this failed missile test. He would view this major embarrassment as unacceptable and must be wiped clean with something bigger and more provocative such as a nuclear test or intercontinental ballistic missile test.

What will US president do in response to any attempts by Kim Jong Un to show he can threaten the west coast of America?

Road to Armageddon in Asia

Just last week we have seen US bombed the Syrian airbase  with 59 cruise missiles that US believed where chemical weapons were launched by the Assad regime against civilians in rebel held territory during the dinner hosted by Donald Trump for Chinese President Xi. Reports have since emerged that both presidents had long and  informal talks about North Korea during those days. The Syrian bombing have demonstrated that Donald Trump is more than willing to use military forces to make a point. President Trump has ordered the US carrier Carl Vinson to the Korean Peninsula and other military assets in Pacific on standby while President Xi has ordered 150000 troops to the Korean border should indicate both presidents had joined in an effort to pressure North Korean​ ruler Kim Jong Un to abandon it's provocative nuclear and missile ambition. The subsequent use of the biggest bomb ever developed by the US against ISIS in Afghanistan put further message to North Korea that US can do much more damage than what the cruise missiles did to the Syrian airbase.

What options do US really have when dealing with North Korea ? We know US can only use its superior air power to strike at North Korean nuclear and missile facilities. Any follow up action in North Korea will definitely be in coordination​ with the Chinese government since nobody knows what will happen in North Korea after such attack. There may be a total collapse of the regime in Pyongyang or Kim Jong Un may survive to lashes out against its neighbours China Japan South Korea and to a lesser extent  Russia with devastating results for the region and the rest of the world.

To execute any action against North Korea will risk major reprisals from Kim Jong Un unless his entire regime is killed and replaced with more moderate figures​. Such possible person was his half brother Kim Jong Nam whose murder in Kuala Lumpur may have pushed his son who has since been in hiding under the protection of the Chinese government in China into the political struggle to take over the dynasty established by his great grandfather Kim Il Sung.

Now what is needed is the trigger from North Korea to set the world in collision with Armageddon in Asia.

Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch to keep conservative hold

After this Friday's confirmation of Justice Gorsuch to the Supreme Court there's no doubt the conservative right will move to change the law for decades to come as they will greatly influenced civil rights decisions when conservative groups start to put forward their plans with more appeals to turn major decisions to their favour.

No longer will be the decisions giving much civil rights to the minorities and womens be taken for granted when conservative groups try to take their causes to the Supreme Court knowing they have a good chance to reshape much of society.

Who are the people around the President?

Saviour or Destroyer ?

Everyday we see and hear from the Trump administration that they are here to save America from the failed policy of Obama presidency. They accuses the former president having ordered wiretapping on the Trump Tower and recently accuses his officials of leaking intel. When many in the mainstream media reports denials by many former and current officials it's back to the pro Trump media people to go into overdrive and continue to bash the previous administration.

Whether this war with the past president or the mainstream media is a planned strategy to control the news cycles or to divert attention from their failed efforts to repeal and replace Obamacare remains to be seen. What is happening everyday is we continue to hear Trump to crowd the news with more accusations with no or little evidence to back up his claims. The legislative agenda becomes a minor news and Democrats filibuster to block Supreme Court nominee is being accused as hypocrite even though the GOP clearly stated they won't even consider Obama's nominee to the Supreme Court last year.

Who is the saviour or the destroyer between two very different agendas for the future generations? What is the end game for the current president? Does he plan to surprise everyone with new accusations or push his agenda to pull back the policies of previous president whom he views as socialist to make America great again in his image? Or will he wreaked havoc with the lives of many in pursuit of his agenda?
