A recent report stated that during the first Trump term a team of Navy Seals attempted to penetrate North Korean defenses in the hopes to install a listening device in a strategic location. We don’t know where this device was to be planted because the Seals were discovered and, after killing some uninvolved North Korean civilians, returned to the US. Comments: (1) this could have been interpreted as an act of war in the opinion of the North Koreans and China–their allies; (2) the president told the press he was unaware of that mission. So, who authorized a Navy Seal team to infiltrate North Korean waters to install a listening device and did not consult the president? Remember, in Trump’s first term he was surrounded by competent, qualified advisors. So, was this a failure to communicate? Or is Trump lying? Or is the report false? The story has been quietly shuffled into oblivion. But–imagine what Trump is capable of now with the cast of idiots he has assembled. Anything is possible.
