But, you know, one ruthless dictator or another. Isn't it nice how the adults are in charge again? The ones who "belong" in Washington. So that Sally Quinn can feel comfortable with her own.

At this point, embarrassing him with his own empty threats serves to weaken him further as POTUS. I tend to think that's the actual end game for all of our enemies who are currently testing how far they can push tRump. A weakened tRump means a weakened USA. A weakened USA becomes unattractive to allies, who then start looking for others when it comes to building alliances.

I was just worried about someone trying to plant this as a prank or part of disinformation or to rile more war talk.

I should have realized, all three are Trump's own M.O.

Those of us who live in shooting distance have just become the sitting ducks in a game of brinksmanship between two madmen.

NK may hate the US, but no less than Trump hates the western blue states. And he never lets go of a grudge.

My fellow West Coasters, we need to go into high alert. If you live by military bases, listen to the skies. Get your emergency supplies together. Be prepared for the worst. Hope for the best!

so, they would destroy themselves

By the same token, one would assume the military would not be so reckless to preemptively attack NK, because that action would illicit a nuclear response from them

This is the theory of peaceful coexistence
