Discussion Question:
Duncan Hunter, indicted ex-Congressman from San Diego, argued last year that the United States should launch a preemptive military attack against North Korea. Given what you know about democracies and the conditions under which they are willing to start a war, how likely do you think it is that Donald Trump will follow Hunters advice?
(Hint: in order to answer this well you need to explain what the likely repercussion to the U.S. would be for a preemptive strike, how this would affect President Trumps ability to get re-elected in 2020, and to what degree Trump was likely influenced by this.)
