What makes you think people aren't taking this seriously? Is it because people aren't calling for an immediate nuclear strike on North Korea? Rational people are NOT calling for that, and rational people are very, very concerned because not only is Kim a certifiable lunatic as you say, Trump is a childish egomaniac who has wondered aloud and often why have a nuclear arsenal if we don't use it. Seoul is 35 miles from North Korea with 10 million people, our allies. Do you think Trump knows that? They could be ashes before our first missile hits. You are right, this is much worse that the Cuban Missile Crisis because both sides were rational players in the geopolitical arms race. Neither leader can be assumed to be rational now, we can only hope Trump listens to rational people and not to those like Steve Bannon who believes World War III is inevitable and will start in the South China Sea.
