Let's have a thread dedicated to this rather than make it part of a Trump thread.
This is a sober, thoughtful piece by David French, a smart conservative:
Into the Abyss: A Scenario for the Next Korean War

Money quote:
The Trump administration has to grow up, fast. The president can’t issue threats without consulting with military leaders. He shouldn’t confront one of the most serious American foreign-policy challenges since the end of the Cold War with a skeleton diplomatic crew. He cannot be impulsive. He has to listen. He has to be sober-minded. And his trio of generals must rise to the occasion. Maybe not now, maybe not tomorrow, but soon enough, fateful decisions will be made. May those decisions be wise. Millions of lives hang in the balance.
