I love that "chances for war are 20-25%" article. Completely pulled out of the air and confused the meaning of probability in the first few sentences. Terrible, terrible writing and that guy is president of something and claims to observe this conflict for 35yrs.lol. had a good laugh

We shall do nothing against NK because the "world establishment" doesn't like the word "war"...except when it come from a dictator we "condemn strongly", which make the dictator laughing for a week because we shall do nothing.
