Will trump order our military to help North Korea with their nuclear sub?
A North Korean sub with nuclear missiles raises the stakes
It is reasonable to assume that Kim Jong Un will continue to prioritize the development of an SSB and SLBM capability, given the resources directed to these programs. If the submarine becomes operational — which may take several years, given North Korea’s track record for fielding new capabilities — the SSB would represent a second leg of North Korea’s nuclear posture. The platform, if it eventually makes it to the sea without being detected, could increase Kim’s confidence in his nuclear deterrent by giving North Korea a first- or second-strike option in the event of a major conflict with the United States.
Furthermore, Kim could calculate that this SSB gives him an additional tool for coercion vis-à-vis the United States and South Korea.

We know that Donald Trump kicked Americans out of the oval office and brought in Russians so he could secretly hand over top-secret material. It was reported in the Russian press where they published photographs of Trump with the spies. Will he order our military to turn over material to help out his “friend“ and little buddy little Kim?
What would stop him if that’s what he wants to do?
