But that this conspiracy theory persists shows that there’s a shadow here that could really hurt the relationship between the two countries.'\n He should be able to just 'Ask Him' but it would not comply with Amy Vanderbilt rules of Etiquette for Pres Donald J Trump, rewritten by Pelosi and Schiff & Associates..to be continued, changed, or revised at their Will and to include Convenience.

US-North Korea stand-off ‘could encourage others to go nuclear’ | Sky News AustraliaRMIT professor Joe Siracusa has told Sky News he is worried the current stand-off between the United States and North Korea could “encourage others in the region to go nuclear”.\n\nIt follows North Korea announcing it had successfully fired a ballistic missile from underwater. \n\nMr Siracusa noted submarine-launched missiles are “the deadliest missiles on earth” because the submarines are unable to be tracked.\n\n“They’re perfecting this technology while we’re in a holding pattern with North Korea,” he said.\n\n“What we’ve got here is a stand-off. The North Koreans aren’t going to give up any more, and the American’s aren’t going to give up any more.”\n\nMeanwhile, the Japanese are now “completely vulnerable” to attacks.\n\n“They can’t trust the Americans to get that North Korean pressure off them and to deter those missiles.\n\n“The Japanese are fully capable of developing such a thing themselves. Then we’ve got an arms race all over again.”\n\nImage: Getty His opinion is no different to Joe Blo down the street who follows current affairs in the newspaper. Who cares what an RMIT professor dramatically hypothesises.. Sky News you have really lost the plot... Shame..
