Uff, this year won't end soon enough.
Of course, that takes the naive view that with the end of the year, the end of the year's bad news comes as well.
Probably not.
Anyhow, North Korea has tested an ICBM that can probably hit anywhere in the United States.
Just a few months ago, when the Dear Leader first tested an ICBM the denial of this was so strong that one forum I noted on this drew an immediate response from somebody declaring that North Korea had not developed an ICBM. Heck, they'd just tested one.
This is a huge, immediate, problem.
We've ignored this for years and years. Starting really with Clinton the North Korean progression towards a nuclear weapon, and the capability to deliver it, has been pretty obvious. Of course, the first Presidents to deal with it, or not, had more of an excuse. It was further away. Maybe the whole thing could be diverted.
By President Obama's term it was pretty evident that the crisis was becoming immediate. Of course, he had plenty of crises on his hands. And now it's nearly fully developed, and we have President Trump, whom many feel rather uncomfortable with in this context.
Well, this is going to be a test of President Trump, and for that matter the United States, South Korea, Japan, China and Russia. Let's hope we all pass the test, whatever that means.
