This North Korea BS Is A Diversion

[SoCalMusicLover]

Everybody just calm down. All the rhetoric going back and forth between Dimwit #1(Drumpf) & Dimwit #2(Kim) is just mindless babble.

We should clearly be concerned about the progress North Korea is making towards more powerful long range weapons. But to think that there is imminent danger is a bit much IMO.

I realize everyone thinks Drumpf is unhinged, and that his comments are going to lead us to attack North Korea. We're not. I don't think countries in that region like China, to whom we are forever in debt, would look too kindly upon that.

And North Korea, despite their saber rattling, is not going to attack the U.S., or Guam, or Japan for that matter. They are content to continue amassing their military muscle for future use, but are not going to jeopardize their progress by enraging a hornet's nest, which is what would happen if they actually went after another country.

The sniping will continue, but it's not going to provoke them into a confrontation, nor will it provoke us into one either. I'd see it far more likely we would get involved with Syria than with North Korea, especially since Putin has his own agenda in Syria, and Drumpf wants to help Putin wherever possible.

1. is NK a diversion from his admin crumbling here or is the story of his admin crumbling a distraction

What's the frequency, Kenneth?

What's going on? Is trump fighting to stay in office or are we on the verge of war?

Either way, remember that time Obama wore a tan suit and people on the reich wing lost their shit like the world was coming to an end.

3. It's Just Rhetoric

Both of these Dimwits like to hear themselves talk loudly. It's in their DNA.

And it's a diversion so that people will talk about something which is unrealistic. It takes the media's attention away from real problems and issues, and yeah....the Russia thing.

We need a boogie man, and since the cold war with Russia is in remission, we need someone to threaten and be afraid of. North Korea clearly fits that bill.

Like I said, we're not going to be the first to move on them and raise the ire of a country like China, and they're not going to do something to piss us off, because we clearly could overwhelm them if we wanted to, and they're not stupid.

2. My professional career involves predicting human behavior.

With much training and experience.

At this point, we cannot assume a benign outcome from Trump.

4. Diversion, division, denial...

Collusion, corruption, complicity...
My vocabulary hasn't gotten past the "D" word yet since the "C" word list is still is still growing and this is after less than a year in office. I DID manage to get to jump to one of the "F" words easily enough though.
