With what's going on with North Korea any chance our trip gets cancelled if something breaks off before we leave?
I'm kind of concerned.

- Start date
If "something breaks off" that necessitates cancellation of the trip, I'm guessing your last worry will be college basketball at that point.
Troll.
That's a legitimate question and I'm a troll for asking you guys are getting real good on spotting these trolls. I don't know how to disguise myself anymore you guys are too good.
And yes if something was to break off I would be more worried about what's going on then basketball. I just want to make sure the Boilermakers are going to be safe on their trip. Sorry for being concerned about the team.
If something were to happen they would be safer out of the country. Fear is a great motivator, but you're misplacing it in this case.
Those of us who are closer to the situation and know the reality of war can read between the lines that all that is currently happening is two leaders trying to improve their image to their followers by acting and talking tough. When their ratings are low, show a preview of military power and might. Both countries are playing war games and incorporating the media as part of their game. I'm not sure about Korea, but our country has a check and balance system in place. our country is currently playing war games exercises in the pacific, and North Korea feels the need to play the part. if Korea were to attack Guam, it would never publically announce that as its intentions.
if you want to know more about North Korea, ask Dennis Rodman. he's a lot smarter than he appears.

This is the best post of yours that I've ever read. Pretty much my view of the situation as well. Two leaders wanting to score popularity points. North Korea has no intention of starting a war it can't win but if he talks tough now he can play the victor by re-writing history down the road and say he stood up to the bully USA. Trump is acting exactly how those who voted for him want him to in regards to foreign conflict. To be honest, these two could play this game for years or until one of them get tired of it. In either case, I don't expect to see anything come of it. My prediction is that Un will eventually be overthrown from within North Korea. If people are living in poverty there already then this latest set of sanctions is going to make problems so much worse. The worse it gets, the more likely it becomes that he will fall.
Having Korean in-laws from a politically plugged-in family, I tend to get a front row seat to all matters Korean. What you say is true...that he will likely fall from within. The big change is not so much that DPRK is poor, but the average citizen is now aware how rich South Korea is. This is huge since propaganda has always told the citizens that they are rich and S.Korea is a slum. The government can't keep up the fantasy much longer.
