'Calm before the storm' is a Trump message to Iran and North Korea



Reporters continuously scratch their heads about what Trump meant as he spoke of a “calm before the storm” on Thursday when hosting a supper for military commanders, as well as their spouses. It is clear that Trump was sending an impactful message to Iran and North Korea: change your behavior immediately, or be prepared to face new yet unspecified consequences.

Iran and North Korea are taking Trump’s measure to check how far they’re able to push him as well as how much they might be able to get away with. The people of North Korea continuously test nuclear weapons as well as long-range missiles then threaten to launch nuclear attacks on the United States and its allies which would have the ability to kills millions of people. Iran is more than likely engaging in such activities which would contribute to the development and design of its own nuclear explosive devices.

If those worrisome acts by these rogue nations go on, there is going to be a storm. Plus, as candidate Trump stated within his White House campaign, he won’t inform our enemies what type of storm they should expect – only that he won’t permit existing trends which endanger our national security as well as that of our allies to continually be unabated.

Trump has to make some tough decisions: whether to continuously rely upon economic sanctions which do not appear to be working against NK; as well as whether he should refuse to certify Iranian compliance with the poor nuclear deal as well as demand which extra constraints be placed upon the Islamic Republic’s provocative and dangerous activities.


Therefore, President Trump can’t afford to wait and just do nothing as North Korea and Iran grow even stronger, even more menacing and become increasing threats.
