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.
