Nuclear Trash Talking

Lots of us pontificate about current events, with varying degrees of perception. One of the best out-of-the-box thinkers over the last few years has been Dilbert-originator Scott Adams.

Adams looks at the verbal threatening with nukes by Kim and Trump and sees, not a war about to break out, but a couple of world class bullsh*t artists trash talking each other. His insight:
This public trash-talking probably lowers our risk of a nuclear accident. If you don’t share the kind of personality we are seeing displayed by both leaders, you might miss the biggest variable in play here. What I see is two unconventional leaders already in conversation, getting a feel for the other, and on some level enjoying the exchange.
Nobody knows for sure but Adams has been right more often than most where Trump is concerned. Hat tip to Power Line for the link.
