How so? Trump has shown time and again that he acts out against sound advice. I could see things spiraling out of control with reactions and counter reactions to nuclear/ICBM testing.
Obviously I don't think he's going to wake up one day and obliterate NK, but what happens when NK does another test--maybe an aerial test to really flout the world and show off a mushroom cloud--and Trump's reaction is to lob some missiles at their known nuclear sites? Lobbing missiles is what he did when he got angry seeing dead kids on cable news, it's not out of the realm of possibility. Is that when Seoul starts getting shelled? What do we do if thousands of people in Seoul start dying?
Update: This is Trump's statement about the news...

> If NKorea escalates nuclear threat, 'they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.'
Still want to bet on his rational reaction thought process?
- muninn_ 9y agoYes. Just because he's taking a tough stance doesn't mean it's irrational. What else should he say? Nothing? Maybe "well if they Lee threatening us we will just do nothing"? What exactly is an appropriate response? Does it even matter anymore? You're paranoid and you don't understand the political nature of this discussion. Saying "he got mad and launched missiles because he saw dead kids on TV" just highlights this.
