You want to win against those hell-bent on suicide, by threatening them with death? lol.

In 9/11 its 19 operatives died with it. How do you avenge those already dead? What did USA achieve in knee jerk "revenge", attacking Af-Pak and Iraq who had NOTHING to do with 9/11. Today, US is a society divided, $20 Trillion in debt, in depression, despair, and Trump in charge, LOL. Terrorists died but won.

If North Korea nukes New York city, there is NOTHING Trump can do, except just like Dubya, attack others who trade with North Korea - China, Russia, Iran, Asia. USA will be massively in debt.

Canada has NO leverage on North Korea or USA. For the first time in history we can play NO role in this chicken game- just watch with folded arms. Our "soft power" days are over and gone for good - never coming back again. We must learn to live in a world that has new kids on the block - Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran.

Finally, we past's peace makers will be at peace with ourselves.
