WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – A majority of voters in the United States say they believe the United States and North Korea will likely be engaged in a military conflict in the near future, a new Rasmussen poll revealed on Friday.
“Most voters think it’s likely the United States will soon be at war with North Korea,” the poll said.
63% of Americans say they believe the United States will take military action against North Korea as tensions build up between the two countries.

The poll was conducted by phone and online Wednesday through Thursday among 1,000 US citizens, and has a margin of error of plus-minus 3 percentage points.
Last week, the UN Security Council unanimously approved a resolution tightening sanctions against North Korea. Commenting on the sanctions, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un promised to take decisive steps against the United States, including “physical actions.”

On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump threatened Pyongyang with “fire and fury” if it made further threats against the United States and its allies:
North Korea replied on Wednesday it was considering a missile attack on the US island of Guam, which hosts several military bases for the US armed forces.
Rasmussen added that, 75% of voters agree that North Korea is a vital national security interest for the United States these days – with only 16% disagreeing. By comparison, 51% view Syria as a vital U.S. national security interest.

Does anybody believe we are being played? The US Debt Ceiling is due to implode in September, unless the printers carry on working. So is this just a negotiating trick?
Most likely.
N.K is a smoke screen, especially since China said they will retaliate if US starts an attack on N.K, Russia would be in on it too. Apparently Dump is ordered to attack someone and that would most certainly be Venezuela. In order to set up a fascist regime with death squads and all.
Desperation,distraction,demagogues
and deranged deadbeats beating
The drums of war.
He is a warmonger…..
1,000 political party partisans do not speak for me.
I’m sick of war and I’m tired of the ongoing worship of the mercenaries who defend their paychecks and not America. The threat to the American people is not North Korea or the Russian Federation or Iran or China; it is the death dealers that hide in the bowels of Washington, DC. We must purge our federal government of these most evil minions of the war machine.
Just curious…and do the majority of these Americans even know where NK is located??? Give the parrots some more crackers.
