North Korea Nuclear Ready

I don't buy that the line was improvised, but it was nice of Trump's people to leak that to the one media outlet Trump craves adulation from above all others. That article is definitely making it into today's propaganda document.
 
Except for South Korea and potentially Japan. Even if they aren't able to get off a nuclear weapon they will almost certainly be able to attack Seoul with a shit ton of conventional artillery.

Not according to the board "expert". Apparently the NK army falls apart if they can't get direct orders from the dear leader.

The only way you can determine if moonz thinks something is serious or not is what he is doing with his money. If it's invested in the market he isn't worried and can troll, if he has pulled it out for fear the market crashes and his dreams of moving to Panama City beach for retirement are crushed then he nervously trolls.

The thought of the #beleaguered Board Left childishly sitting out the Trump Bump in the market for fear of sharing in the #winning is simply too much. No reason to confine your losses to just politics and ACC sports. There's always room for more depheat, I guess.
 
When tax reform goes down in flames that's the time to get out, though nuclear war would probably do it too.
 
Yep, it all depends on tax reform. If they can't get that passed then it probably goes bad.

Generally not a good idea to let your politics influence your investment decisions.
 
"Fire and fury" doesn't sound like something Trump would say on his own, fwiw. It actually sounds like a phrase he was told to use for effect somehow. Not sure what to make of that.

What? That's sounds like classic Trump bluster to me.
 
North Korea mocking Trump for making his announcement at a golf course is some good trolling.
 
We are going about this all wrong. We should legitimize North Korea. Give them a seat at the table. Build up fat boy'a ego and sense of importance. In a year or two, on his way back from the state visit to the White House, make sure Hair Force One "accidentally" crashes in the pacific.

"It was clear what Obama officials were doing in 2013. The DIA report represented inconvenient facts that threatened President Obama’s North Korea “strategic patience” policy -- a policy to do nothing about North Korea and kick this problem down the road to the next president. Obama officials tried to downplay the DIA assessment to prevent it from being used to force the president to employ a more assertive North Korea policy."

So it worked. We maintained stability on the Korean Peninsula. They hacked. We hacked back. No harm, no foul.

Four years later, nothing has actually changed but we are threatening the destruction of the North Korean people.

It’s worth noting that the Trump White House has not condemned the Washington Post story as a leak. That’s probably because it was an authorized disclosure of classified information to advance President Trump’s North Korea strategy. That is, instead of concealing intelligence to avoid taking action against the tough North Korea problem like the Obama administration did, the Trump administration publicized this same intelligence to demonstrate the seriousness of this threat and why decisive action by the United States is required.

I believe Trump officials timed the release of the North Korea missile warhead information to bolster their efforts to pressure China to abide by new sanctions imposed on North Korea last weekend by the UN Security Council. If so, this is a good strategy to highlight to Beijing the urgency that it abide by these sanctions and also implement other kinds of diplomatic and economic pressure against North Korea that it has so far refused to employ. As I wrote in an August 7 Fox News Opinion article, this may be China’s last chance to prevent a military conflict with North Korea.



Americans need to recognize as they ponder the increasingly dangerous North Korea situation that the Obama administration not only refused to do anything about this crisis but tried to downplay and conceal intelligence from the American people and Congress on how serious it was.
