The Independent: Three-quarters of Americans think Trump is going to lead them into war
Unlike the President, most Americans don't think diplomacy is a waste of time
Almost three-quarters of Americans fear the US is to become involved in a “major conflict” in the next few years, according to a new survey.
Amid escalating tensions with North Korea over its aggressive missile tests and development of nuclear warheads, combined with sabre-rattling from Donald Trump, 72 per cent of the population fears the country will become embroiled in such a war within four years.
Most people believe the greatest threat to the US is from North Korea, followed by Isis and Russia. Only two per cent of people believe Iran is the greatest threat.

WNU Editor: The NBC poll results are here. Some interesting stats from the poll that are not being reported are the following .... only 6% of Americans care about foreign policy, 10% are worried about terrorism, and 72% believe the U.S. will be in a major war in 4 years. Am I surprised by these numbers .... no .... these numbers have been around for a long time. This is also a repeat of another NBC poll that was done 3 months ago .... and it is being rehashed again (see link here). On a side note .... I also remember that when President Reagan was in power, an even greater majority of Americans believed that he was leading the U.S. into a major war .... which of course did not happen.
