All eyes are on the G7 and Syria and speculating about how Russia (and Iran) will react after Trump's missile attack.

Meanwhile a US warship is heading to waters off North Korea just as a very important date in the North Korean calendar approaches.

Never mind 'beware the Ides of March' how about beware the Ides of April. Trump and KimYong Un facing off against each other?

Yes, well....watching the 10 o'clock news it's getting a bit scary. Is it just sabre rattling or something more dangerous?

Whichever, it's worrying!

I am beginning to wonder if Trump -well his hawkish advisors- are beginning to understand that hard rhetoric cuts no ice with NK - in fact achieves the opposite.

An attack will be far too dangerous.

I suspect that he is finally coming to the same decision made by Obama - duh!!!

Let's hope he's had a reality check - Trump that is. But that still doesn't solve the problem of Kim Jong Whatever and his nuclear potential.
