I DO NOT want a nuclear conflict to develop between the North Koreans & the United States.
In fact, NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES ... a nuclear conflict should be avoided at all costs.
It's pretty much unsettling to listen to the leaders of these two countries casually talk about pushing buttons. Of course, it is much more complicated than pushing buttons. Nevertheless, joking about it is somewhat of an insult and most distasteful, plus incredibly disrespectful to those of us who will have to pay the ultimate costs.
The most likely victims of such a conflict will be innocent folks who really have nothing to say about it. As in all conflicts, the ones who die are the little people. Chances are high, that some sort of survival strategies are in place for the elite leaders of our countries. These leaders decide how many people will die for whatever they think is important.
AND, if the loss of human life is not despicable enough ... consider the long term negative impact upon the earth itself.
I get it. The North Koreans are wanting something that the world (US) refuses to give and vice versa. Obviously putting everyone between a rock and a hard place. The paradigm associated with this world discussion better change pretty quick like. From my perspective as a victim of this potential conflict, I am outraged that we are coming so close to the brink of disaster.
If the "BUTTON" comments are just locker room talk with the hope of generating a few laughs, I want something to be perfectly clear ...
I AM NOT LAUGHING
