    Senator Risch just said if Trump uses force in N Korea, it will be massive and swift, not a bloody nose. Casualties and destruction of conflict would be "biblical". Trump has means "at his fingertips". With that bombshell dropped, he leaves for the airport & takes no Qs #msc2018

        No it wouldn’t. It’d mean a lot of dead people, at least one destroyed major economy, and a geopolitical nightmare that plays to Russian and Chinese fears, but doubtfully a full on nuclear exchange, global thermonuclear war, if you will.

        He's right you know. Drumf has the "football" and with the hammer coming down on his treasonous presidency, he is becoming more insane everyday. Risch just warned us
