Bannon has lost his mind.
Honestly I get the sense he isn't so different from John Brown. I think I wrote a paper on him a long time ago in high school or grade school. From what I remember much of the literature painted a picture that he was some sort of crazed religious fanatic. Looking back and looking at it from a perspective of GD if anything he was just a head of his time with his actions. I wonder if he didn't hold off in trying to cause a slave rebellion that he wouldn't have been successful. If there is one inescapable fact of life it is you cannot mess up the timing. The problem is obviously trying to tell when the time is right. I hope Bannon doesn't end up like Brown.

If Trump thinks Bannon is crazy, perhaps he has abandoned GD? If so, we are adrift again. I was hoping that Trump would use GD to save at least a piece of the country.

..in a smallish room, in an "out of the way" place...

Trump: "Hey, how about we throw another crazy assed curve-ball at 'em. Letʻs, uh,.. lets,.. go to WAR with each other!!"

Bannon: "Mmmmm,.. I like it. I like it a LOT!! I'll,.. let's see,.. I'll go after one of your kids, and,.. that's not gonna be enough,.. uh,.. and,.. and you've got a REALLY TINY TINY BUTTON!!"

Trump: "Hah haaaaaaaaaaaaaah,.. Ooo, I like that. I like that A LOT!!?"


..and the "real" Trump and Bannon do their respective jobs, and, like Pinky and the Brain..

I thought of that, and I agree that it's possible.

It certainly appears that the Chinese government is preparing for a major catastrophic military conflict:

But so many analysts are now saying that the SK governments' refusal to allow for war in Korea is a game changer that even Trump can't ignore. It appears Trumped has been trumped. None of the analysts expect war in 2018 now. The SK government is desperate to avoid and will do so at any cost. What can Trump do about it?

Trump can do what Bush did about Iraq: invade. If Trump wants to invade NK to stop them from getting a nuclear deterrent, he will.

Then, if Trump wants to invade NK, he will, and SK will be very unhappy, just as a lot of countries were unhappy when Bush invaded Iraq.
