North Korea.Chubs and His Toy Box.

As if life in the twenty first century did not have enough challenges.
In the last few days another of the mega-variety has just emerged: the threat of a shooting war between the United States and North Korea.
Actually this has been a slow train coming. For over six decades this isolated, cult society has proved to be the troubled child of the international community.
The Il Jong dynasty goes back to the days of the Korean war but, more recently, the most erratic member of the family has stepped up to forefront. Kim Jong-un, affectionately known as "Chubs".
While his father could be kept at arms length through the manipulation of sanctions and concessions Kim Jong has become a menace in his own right, made all the more dangerous because he now has a range of nuclear war heads and missiles at his disposal.
Meanwhile, five thousand miles away in Washington we  have an American President who has said "No more playing Mr Nice Guy with North Korea. We are going to bring him to his senses or bring him to his knees."
What does that mean in lay-man's terms?
 Probably a BIG BANG!
One thing is certain (to bring back the illustration of the rumpus room) nobody is going to persuade Chubby to give up his toys and they will not be forced out of his box without all hell breaking loose.
If you are believer in prayer begin in earnest right now. If you are not, get a basement apartment and stock up with water and tinned food. You may be needing them.
Jubilate.
