According to McClatchy, sales have in both the US and Japan have risen dramatically this year as President Donald Trump and Kim have exchanged threats of nuclear annihilation. US and Japanese defense officials now believe the North is in possession of a nuclear warhead small enough to fit onto one of its ICBMS.

EXCLUSIVE–‘Like the Last Scene of Star Wars’: Sebastian Gorka Compares Battle Against Globalist Cabal to Rebel Alliance Fighting Evil Empire
"Gorka’s resignation—which some in low-level White House positions have inaccurately claimed was not a resignation—came amid major battles he fought alongside Bannon against the “West Wing Democrats.” (Bannon has returned to Breitbart News as the Executive Chairman after he stepped down from the White House. Gorka detailed in this interview how he is likely to engage in a number of roles outside the White House helping the president with his agenda, including in some capacity here at Breitbart News, but also in other places throughout the movement pushing an America-First “Make America Great Again,” or MAGA, agenda.)..."

China condemns unilateral US sanctions against Venezuela

Russian nuclear-capable bombers fly near North Korea amid US drills
"Russia has sent nuclear-capable bombers near North Korea amid an ongoing military exercise by the United States and South Korea in the region and at a time of heightened tensions over North Korea’s intensified missile activity.

Greyerz – The Clock Is Ticking…This Is When The Global Panic Begins
"Today the man who has become legendary for his predictions on QE, historic moves in currencies, told King World News this is when the global panic begins…
The Clock Is TickingEgon von Greyerz: “There are lies damned lies and central bank gold statistics. Total official gold holdings are reported to be 33,000 tonnes. That is 19% of all the gold ever produced in world history. But how can anyone ever believe any of these figures. Because no central bank ever has a public audit of all its gold holdings.
