[fun n serious]

1. Holy shit

[asiliveandbreathe]

2. doesn't seem to have made it to print yet..looking...eom

[DemocratSinceBirth]

3. Old news. My reports are fresher.

[dixiegrrrrl]

8. Be interested to see how far it went before it blew up.

"firing" a missile is one thing....having it complete the flight as planned has been their weak suit.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

11. It exploded in the Sea Of Japan.

5. They've said they will try to update after a break...

I've seen nothing on it anywhere else, so far.

[Atman]

6. So what?

They don't have anything that will hit us, and if they try there are ten different countries ready to annihilate them in order to save Samsung and Hyundai. Shades of W drumming up the Iraq invasion.

7. Trump will attack to divert attention from treason, China will then attack us as they

have to due to treaty.

I think it is over.

[Frustratedlady]

9. They could hit S. Korea where a bunch of our service personnel are stationed...

plus, what...25M people?

[countryjake]

10. Agreed. But two big blustering buffoons...

do present a reason for concern, wouldn't ya think?

[Atman]

17. Yes, two blustering buffoons. But no one is actaually going to start nuclear war.

No benefit in it for ANYONE. None. No benefit. Tell me one good outcome for anyone. Only Trumpsky's hair will survive. There is not one possible reason to start a nuclear war with NK. Trumpsky is as stupid as a tree stump, so is Kim, but neither of them wants to be dead. It makes no sense.

[Atman]

18. Okay, wait...If I was Trumpsky I might want to be dead...

...but that's a whole other story.

21. Look at how WWI started - a bunch of elite "rulers" and their staff who knew each other...

But were too proud to back down because it was all about them and their standing in the world. Appearing "strong" in their little circle of acquaintances was far more important to them than looking smart or even acting like a real leader of real countries with real people in them.
Same here. Neither Drumpf or Kim III know or even care how many people depend on their leadership. They just want to be able to strut around their snowglobe empires and play Commander in Chief to the cheers of their paid crowds and slaves.

A truly strong, smart leader would never put - or allow politics to place his or her country in the position where they have to fear for their lives. (The one thing Ike really failed at was putting a clamp down on the "Red Menace" hysteria).

12. They can reach Hawaii

and if they have a sub launcher, they can hit the West Coast.

[randome]

20. That's okay. Hawaii is just an island in the Pacific.

[a kennedy]

13. AND THERE'S your 100 day war......

[Qutzupalotl]

14. UPDATE: it appears to have failed

16. I hope no one does anything foolish...

for real...

19. My husband got a text alert through our local station. Nt

22. They aren't a threat.

They have 1950s technology at best. Trump is looking for someone to make an example out of.

We will attack them, all that's important is that something is done to help the people of NK.
