29-May-17 World View -- North Korea launches another ballistic missile test, as talk of war increases

[Guest]

The Korea problem seems to be losing momentum. Couldn't this crisis be burning out like the others on the peninsula? I think China has gotten what they wanted: they are playing Donald Trump like a violin. I think this crisis is over.

The North Korea crisis is over until they test another ballistic
missile or nuclear weapon, and then the crisis will be full-blown
again.

Washington is a one-crisis town. So in the meantime, Washington will
have to focus on the real top priority global crisis -- the
approaching apocalyptic end of the world because the US withdrew from
the climate change agreement.
