ACCORDING to some the world will end on September 23. While light heartedly reading this I came across a paragraph that said the author did not say it will end but that the end will start on this day.
This was a little disconcerting as the next news was President Trump’s UN speech saying he will destroy North Korea, so are we waiting for the next missile launch with fingers crossed.
Many say Trump is an idiot, I would agree, but what choices are left for him here, like it or not North Korea is a nuclear power.
Mr Trump and the US can back down and lose whatever credibility is left and let North Korea invade the South. I’m convinced this is what will happen and nobody will do anything as Kim Jong Un will launch nukes if he is opposed.
This threat should have been removed by at least half a dozen of Mr Trump’s predecessors.
As most sensible people will know prophecies can be selffulfilling, especially Doomsday ones. Perhaps if the US gets back behind the Iran deal and show its peaceful self, then maybe we can dismiss a few more of these prophecies.
