Surprised?
The enemies of President Trump certainly are.
There are more people predicting President Trump will fight a nuclear war over North Korea then explaining why it won’t/can’t happen. It won’t.
Why not? For one, President Trump is a high stakes gambler who fights with psychology. He want’s to stop a war, not start one.
Second, there are more than two choices. Detente is a third. Negotiation a fourth.
Third, what country, culture, dictator or President-For-Life would provoke the biggest military power in history? China? Russia? North Korea?
Fourth, North Korean missiles have been “exploding” (being exploded by the CIA?) shortly after launch. Exploding missiles have insufficient range to be militarily useful. Without dependable missiles the “crazy, fat kid”. CFK as Senator John McCain called him may nuclear bomb his own country is a nuclear tipped missile blew up on or near it’s North Korea launch pad. When North Korean missiles refuse to deliver nuclear bombs the danger of war disappears and may take the CFK with it.
