I don't think anything will happen unless North Korea strikes 1st. It will be all talk until then. Shirley Kim Jong Un isn't that stupid. There is no way his regime survives a war with the US. I also think if they strike 1st there wont be any country left that would support NK...

I am hoping China steps up its game with them and forces them to knock it off.

North Korea is not going to do anything. They are saber rattling and that is as far as it will go. The problem is America loves war and we will gladly invade a country for no good reason.

North Korea has had nothing but whackjob leaders for decades. We cannot predict what Kim will do. It would be a big mistake to assume that he's sane/rational/predictable. He has absolute power in a way that we cannot really imagine. That kind of thing seriously messes folks up. People get convinced that they are gods, that they cannot die, all sorts of crazy shit. We'd make more money hoping that there's some reasonable folks in the layer or two below Kim. What we really need is for some senior NKPA general to off Kim and then open the border to the South.

The solution to that is to create a reason.

I thought Trump didn't telegraph his moves and that he was opposed to drawing a red line?


We should all be thankful there is someone like Trump in the Whitehouse to make these kind of decisions...

If you watch CNN, you'd think missiles were already in the air toward Guam, Hawaii, and Alaska. I haven't watched Erin Burnett in awhile, but she's effin' terrible.

(insert pithy phrase here...)

We can agree all day about how crazy Little Kim is but there has been zero evidence for decades that North Korea has desires for war.

We have a reason, because, we are just waiting to find the slogan that includes Hitler and terrorism.

Sheesh, I listened to Breathless Blitzer at 5PM and you would have thought exactly that, missiles in the air! Suspenseful music in the background...'BREAKING NEWS blah blah blah...!' Then, he brought on one person after another to reinforce the 'critical' situation the US is in '...at a time when Trump's credibility ratings are seriously down...'

Good God.

Yes, I'm sure North Korea is going to invite nuclear annihilation by attacking Guam.

Yes, it makes perfect sense they are going to attack Guam which is probably 100x harder to hit than South Korea which is basically a duck in a barrel and 300x more populated.

Too bad Trump didn't plagiarize a little Ezekiel 25,17 for his North Korea speech.

Yeah, Blitzer is the big problem here. Keep your eyes on the ball, man.

We need to ratchet this up as far as possible. I predict targeted bombing of NK military sites within 3 months.

Trump is not getting anything done domestically, so he picks on the easiest military target to shake his little fist at?

SAD!!!!

Actually pretty worrisome.

How low can we go?

What did he say about France?

CNN has become unwatchable just like Fox was during Obama.
I actually find Fox a better source these days except for Hannity. Now that is unwatchable

I like Trump's saber rattling. It puts Kim on notice that we will match crazy for crazy.

It also forces China to get their asses to the table and now.

No one can afford a full blown war, diplomacy has to be the answer...or some amazing clandestine assassination.

I like Trump's saber rattling. It puts Kim on notice that we will match crazy for crazy.

China is not going to do anything just because of the crazy guy in the Whitehouse.

Well, this is Fury:

Man up? He made a threat if NK continued to threaten the U.S. The NK immediately threatened the U.S. Trump did nothing.

If you pull that sort of pussy move in prison, I think you find yourself bent over in the shower like 2 minutes later.

Similar to Obama's "red line," except dumber because it was obvious in advance that NK would continue to use the same threatening propaganda they've used daily for decades now. You only say that sort of thing if you're 100% sure you don't lose face.

No preening, infantile displays of machismo. No red line that commits the U.S.and risks damaging credibility.


But the Soviet Union took it real fucking seriously.

Yeah right.

It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Kim blow himself up. Unfortunately a lot of other people will go with him. This will not be a hold your fire assault . The US must ensure total destruction of all Kims weapons as fast as possible. I think most Americans( including myself) are in denial that this would actually happen.However.. Human error could trigger it at any moment. There should be major protests right now demanding a deescalation in tensions.... along with sanctions on China to step in and stop this shit ( what the fuck are they thinking?). War should not be an option with all we know about it . Can the planet even sustain that much more crap being released into its so very thin and delicate atmosphere? We are sitting back like this could be a cool internet thing to watch..like some video game, “Nuke the Fucker” , but in reality , the human suffering and damage to the earth will incredibly outweigh any positive outcome.

sometimes

IF and some will claim it's not an "IF" but a when.
NK does have the ability to strike Guam, Hawaii or the west coast USA. It's a choice of regional stability or protecting the US. Not a good decision for who ever the president is what that happens.

China is the one that could step in and take control of the situation better and have endless good will, politically if they were inclined.

Good grief. Thanks for the laughs!

Trump has really boxed himself in with this quote,

“North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States, they will be met with fire, fury, and frankly power, the likes of which this world has never seen before.”

He didn't say the U.S would retaliate if NK attacked, he said they would be met with fire and fury if they make another threat. They did make another threat a short time later but Trump didn't respond. I'm happy that Trump is all talk and no action but he is doing exactly the same thing as Obama when he drew the red line in the sand.

The same thing that Sir.Valyo accomplished with his post. Both made the crazy people, go crazier.

Ding! Pavlov is proven right, again.

There's a difference between being spineless and comments that will only escalate things.

These are not the only two options.

We could show force with our Air Force, Army units stationed in SK, preposition our Naval Forces and our Marine Expeditionary Units and not have the POTUS say things that will only serve to escalate. (Speak softly, carry a big stick)

We could also not insult our best potential ally in China and understand how culturally China and NK view the world- Trump's presidency is hardly a blip in their view of time and his words are of little consequence. Actions speak to them culturally, words just annoy.

---

Suffer Well.

I don't see the ultimate threat of Kim. North Korea has never shown any signs of wanting war. Why would they possibly want to fight the US, China or Russia? The level of fear of North Korea is as crazy as Kim himself.

My point exactly: he threatened him. He didn't apologize to the little fat kid in North Korea. Yay Trump. He didn't draw that red line in the sand. Wasn't that a false threat that Obama made and didn't have the fortitude to back it up? I think that maybe we now have a president that will back it up. We no longer have a coward leading us who apologizes that we have a strong and great military. We no longer have a president that wants us weaker.

Seems like to me a threat from someone who is habitually known to be full of shit looses its umpf.

I guess you expected him to run out back and fire off a bomb or two towards NK? Of course NK is going to retaliate with a threat - he, and everyone else knows that. I think you're probably educated enough to know that we would not attack NK as soon as another threat was made towards us. Sit back and watch how it plays out.

Reading all the comments from the crying liberals on Slowtwitch is every bit as good as tuning into MSNBC and CNN. I'm pretty sure most of you share the Maddow lineage. I've said it before: every time I log into slowtwitch, I am convinced all over again that voting for Trump was the best thing I ever did. Its folks like you that sealed Trumps victory.

Yes sir...and the reason the democrats are where they are now.

Redirect to CNN seems the only Trump defense tactic left?

He didn't draw that red line in the sand.

Yes he did. He said if NK threatened the U.S again they would pay the price. That's the definition of a line in the sand.

Wasn't that a false threat that Obama made and didn't have the fortitude to back it up? I think that maybe we now have a president that will back it up.

But NK did threaten after Trump's comment. How did he back up his threat?

We no longer have a coward leading us who apologizes that we have a strong and great military. We no longer have a president that wants us weaker.

From my perspective, nothing has changed. You have a President who made a threat to retaliate if provoked, you were provoked and no response. It's exactly the same as it was under Obama.

SIr.Valyo is different then Duffy in a really interesting way. They both make really dumb comments but while Duffy denies saying what he said and says what he says is different then what he says Sir.Valyo just doubles down. He says more words so he has words out there then goes to redirects with buzz words. CNN, libtard, coward, etc. It's a joy to read because you can't take it seriously. You just nod you head and maybe wonder what is for dinner.

Again, I think you're intelligent enough to know that as soon as another threat came in we would not immediately attack. Lets wait and see what happens. You and all the other Trump haters are so eager to jump on this its laughable. You're so eager to criticize and condemn that you don't bother with common sense.

Yep, I'm continuously convinced every time I log in. Thanks for helping send Trump to Washington, Tibbsy. Carry on.

I would like to see Trump escalate the rhetoric by using his tweets for good in calling little Kim all sorts of names.

Watching the resulting temper tantrum would be epic.

You see me and you have something in common, we both hate modern liberal ideas and behavior. So I giggle when you do the throw away, "this is why Trump won, blah blah, blah" with no real back up to the statement. It's a great way to present authority and dodge criticism. Say something like it is fact then just restate that it is fact. Easy, simple and dumb. Hard to mess up and impossible to beat because you can't rationally defeat a tantrum.

Easy, simple and dumb. Hard to mess up and impossible to beat because you can't rationally defeat a tantrum.

The Trump supporters don't defend him using reason. They simply remind people that he won and then deflect by saying they are amused at how people get so angry.

They are as predictable as Trump, all talk and no substance.

They can't have substance because Trump doesn't have any himself.

You have a President who made a threat to retaliate if provoked, you were provoked and no response. It's exactly the same as it was under Obama.

Again, I think you're intelligent enough to know that as soon as another threat came in we would not immediately attack. Lets wait and see what happens.

But you said that you "finally have a President who will actually man up" which sounds like he has already done something other than talk.

You and all the other Trump haters are so eager to jump on this its laughable

And back to the fallback position...

Tibbsy and Sanuk...y'all need your own talk show. This is the slowtwitch version of Morning Joe.
And the best part of all of this? Y'all hate it. It eats at you.

Hate what? Eats at what? I like how you brought Morning Joe up. It's more that deflecting to a news source you hate. Again you are not making sense but you are very committed to it. You are good.

Where did the poster mention CNN? He's calling you, and the other 5 of you who spend your entire day posting about Trump on ST a joke. Get it? Doubtful you do. When one spends their day in an ideological circle jerk, that person loses sight of just how dumb their next breathless comment sounds.

Carry on. You, the idiot Vegan and the resident Canucks have a lot to discuss today.

You have responded. You are now in the circle jerk. Welcome aboard you dumb ass!

But Trump does have God's permission to take out N.K. according to an evangelical adviser. One of those WTF moments when I read it this morning.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/...c=nl_most&wpmm=1

You don't say? Well I didn't know he had god's permission. This changes everything. Trump must be allowed to do his will for it is the lord's.

I'm not sure about God's permission, but Mattis is chiming in with this (edited with complete quote):

---

Suffer Well.

Smart people don't make threats that they know that can't follow up on. Sure he has the power to follow up on that threat, but everyone knows that it's empty because we aren't going to attack North Korea because of something their leader says. It was a stupid comment by a stupid man.

“North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States, they will be met with fire, fury, and frankly power, the likes of which this world has never seen before.”


Reminds me of Baghdad Bob:

This is precisely the difference between the Trump Administration and the weak and castrated Obama Administration. This is the difference between a strong US and the US desired by liberals.

This is precisely the difference between the Trump Administration and the weak and castrated Obama Administration.

I like how the narrative is quickly shifting from Trump to the Trump administration...at least in this post, an adult is responding but it is far from the language used yesterday.

Very curious. Why would a liberal American desire a weak America?

Great question.

Very curious. Why would a liberal American desire a weak America?

OMG, why are you so angry and full of hatred !!!

This is precisely the difference between the Trump Administration and the weak and castrated Obama Administration.

You must be outraged by Tillerson's comments as they seem quite different than the fire and fury of Trump and quite a different tone than Mattis;

..."Only hours before Trump's tweets, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson urged calm and said Americans should have "no concerns" despite the exchange of threats between the president and North Korea. Aboard his plane as he flew home from Asia, Tillerson insisted the developments didn't suggest the U.S. was moving closer to a military option for dealing with the crisis...

That is a great question, and one that I and many others have wondered about over the past 8 years.

Brilliant non answer. You are good. You just won't be cornered by having a real opinion. You are a beautiful fraud. Very empty.

Perhaps - and I'm just floating this idea out there - liberal Americans don't actually want a weak America. Maybe there's a chance you're simply misunderstanding what they do want.

Just a thought.

Not at all, I think its brilliant, especially considering who we're dealing with. On the other hand, I assume you'd have preferred him to say "buckle up fellow citizens...fair warning - we're going to war"?

Maybe he could even forewarn the North Korean leadership and tell him when and where we will hit first. You know, kinda like what has happened in the past.

It's not a circle jerk until rodred and dirt nap joins the thread.

They are gone. Gone with the wind.

Who are we dealing with? Please inform about North Korea.

How exactly would the strongest leader handle north korea? Be explicit, so we can see how trump lives up to your ideals. That way we can hold your feet to the fire.

Man up! Show us how steong you are by actually giving an answer, or be as weak as you say obama is.

who's smarter than you're? i'm!

Exactly! I hate it when we do that. Should not have given warning to those Russkies - let 'em burn with their Libyan dogs.

http://fox59.com/...-attack-ap-reportsf/

Um. Not really. If they wanted to go beyond the tension they would. The US won't make nice with people either.

I miss rod. He was always so angry and 1 heart attack away from any posts. Sad.

You're right...its a non answer. I don't know why liberals think how they think. Matter of fact, there are a number of things I wonder about but have no answer to...such as:

I don't know why liberals...
...believe you can take away guns from the citizens, therefore, prevent crime.
...believe that you can discriminate based on race as long as it benefits the minority.
...believe in big government.
...believe in high taxes.
...believe in limited free speech.
...believe that the solution to every problem lies in government programs.
...believe we should have single payer healthcare.
...believe that competition is unfair.
...believe that the environment trumps people.
...believe that we should be internationalists and care about what the rest of the world thinks about us.
...believe that its good to be hostile towards Christianity.
...believe that policy should be directed by "feelings".
...believe that the government can better raise our children than us as parents.
...believe that society is responsible for individual actions and not the individual.
...believe in the welfare state.
...believes in social justice.
...believe that wealth and success is bad.
...believe that the government should regulate everything. EVERTHING.
...believe that business is evil.
...believe in complete tolerance.
...believe that you can fight terrorism with law enforcement policy.

I could go on and on and on. Can you answer these wonders?

My guess is that rather than try to learn whether your presupposition is correct, you'll continue to believe that liberals want a weak America precisely because it makes no sense, and thus gives you an simplistic strawman to parade out and theatrically debunk when you need to demonstrate that liberals are both irrational and weak.

I'll answer as a weak libtard.

1. Unleash full cyberwarfare. Take down their Internet.
2. Park at least one full carrier fleet offshore.
3. Advise Japan, South Korea to go into full defensive posture.
4. Start regular overflights of surveillance craft.
5. Start electronic warfare (jam the shit out of NK)
6. Put bombers in the air continously.
7. Wait for the phone to ring, so real negotiations can begin.

I'm not there yet. Because there are serious risks. But that's how you do it when you want to go there. You don't huff and puff and strut at a golf resort, then immediately expose yourself as an idiot.

You suck so bad I love you. You have me in stitches. You have to be putting on an act. This is too perfect. You are like this little ball of all the neo-con and alt-right stereotypes that somehow achieved life and created you. You just dodge and dodge and dodge. Never say anything. Throw down tired stereotypes and falsities. Keep going you slug. You buffoon. You looping clown.

8. Tweet until KJI cries uncle.

You're way too easy.

It's August. It's the time of year when N.Korea starts talking trash, because it's the time of year when we traditionally hold our largest military exercise with S.Korea.

For some reason, every year, this stuff takes us by complete surprise.

Beautiful. Keep to that. Empty and sad. Keep bringing it. I love it so. Keep hitting me with nothing.

Ok, the floor is yours...tell me why liberalism makes the country stronger. How is our military better because of liberalism? How is our national security better because of liberalism?

If you don't have an answer just ask a question. Ask several as to overwhelm the other person insuring that you can continue to ask question keeping the other in constant confusion. BRAVO!

You eluded to the fact earlier that you and I were more alike than different - that you hated liberals and their beliefs. I believe that's how you put it. Me thinks you lied.
What have you brought to the table?

I agree that they like to crow about with their chest puffed up on a regular basis. The problem is, trump does too.

---

who's smarter than you're? i'm!

Here's a good summary of (some of the) options:

---

Suffer Well.

Ok, the floor is yours...tell me why liberalism makes the country stronger. How is our military better because of liberalism? How is our national security better because of liberalism?

I can't. And I never suggested I could. Frankly, I think there's very little causality between the two.

I merely pointed out that you're insisting liberals believe something irrational so you can call them irrational. You're the one who insisted there's some link between liberals and a weak America. I'm sorry if you can't defend your point. Just retract it if you have no reason to propose it. You spoke in haste. It's not a big deal.

I am a leftist. What does that mean? I am feeling my way toward that but know you hate my politics. What the last election showed was the weakness of the liberal/neo-liberal. They stood by the Democratic party come hell or high water. When the Democrats threw up the worst candidate in US history they just followed along allowing the corporate loving war loving sold out Dems run straight into a brick wall of stupid. They ignored their base and ran to the mythical moderate Republicans and worthless independence who saw straight through Hillary's bullshit and put Trump in office. I put the full blame for Trump winning on liberals.

Everything you've just posted is a strawman. You believe in one thing, so you've made a caricature out of the opposing position because it looks foolish and is easy to ridicule. You won't learn anything because you've just made any other position irrational, and you won't persuade anyone because you are arguing against a point that they don't hold.

Random bullet from your list: "I don't know why liberals believe in big government." I doubt whether there are any liberals whose goal is to somehow increase the size of the government. What's more accurate is to say that if the nation can be made better a way that requires an increase in government size, then a liberal is less likely to object to it than a conservative.

There, now you can actually have a discussion about an issue.

---

Suffer Well.

Bravo

To me, what I find extremely distasteful was his use of the phrase "as the world has never seen"--twice! When I heard him use that phrase my mind immediately jumped to the events at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. You can bet that was his intention in his little mind.

For the President of the US to evoke those events in a public threat was un-presidential, and in horrible taste. He's basically saying "remember what we did to Japan? That was nothing!"

Exactly. Hes an incredible buffoon.

---

who's smarter than you're? i'm!

No, no. He alluded. It's you who eluded.

Not at all, I think its brilliant, especially considering who we're dealing with.

So you strongly agree with this message from Trump;

"North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen."

And you strongly agree with this message from Tillerson,

"Nothing that I have seen and nothing that I know of would indicate that the situation has dramatically changed in the last 24 hours," he said, adding that "Americans should sleep well at night."

Are you at all surprised that some people think there is a JV team in the Whitehouse?

Looking at the body language it almost looks like he has his fingers crossed under the arm pits.

https://youtu.be/I20vnRqGPFI

Cool story, bro. Comical, even. Remind us again how you, Rod, Duffy, & OH spent the previous 8 years? Some of us have memories that go back further than November...

Or is he deluded? Methinks so.

Are you alluding to undiluted delusion?

I doubt whether there are any liberals whose goal is to somehow increase the size of the government.
That made my day. And it lends credence to your level of input to this discussion.

Classic. Use grammatical errors to step up. And have you read every post. I think I've replied to most everything of substance thrown my way. I may not have had the answer, but I stated so in my reply. In some instances, others answered with what I would agree with (for example, how should a leader react to KJI).

You're a few posts behind. S'OK - we'll wait for you to catch up. With substance.

I agree with you 100%. We have a team that has never really governed before. That is a large part of Trumps allure. It still is. He is an outsider. Its a breath of fresh air. I wish we could rid Washington of every politician up there...republican and democrat. The only was our government will ever change is term limits. And that will never happen. Washington as a whole wants Trump gone. He is a threat to the system.

On another note, isn't it cool how a JV team is showing the last administration some "how to"? I'll take this JV team over the more experienced Obamas, Clintons, Pelosis, Reids, Schumers, etc. any day of the week.

I couldn't be on here all day. I actually have a business to run. Something you and the other liberals know nothing about and would prefer to destroy.

If you took Trump out of the equation, I would agree. He is the stumbling block.

Just so I understand you; you're saying you actually believe that part of the liberal mindset is that increasing the size of government is an ultimate goal? Not to make it better or to do society any good. Just to make it bigger. To what possible end?

I would be very interested to see how you've come to that conclusion.

Must be a very slow business day for you today then.:-) And BTW, don't think you're the only guy on LR that is self employed. Or that self employed people can't think your your boy Trump is a moron or aren't liberal.

I couldn't be on here all day. I actually have a business to run. Something you and the other liberals know nothing about and would prefer to destroy.


I'm a liberal, and I own and run my own business. I know many liberals who are very successful entrepreneurs and business-people. What makes you think that we don't run businesses or are successful in business?

I could go on and on and on. Can you answer these wonders?


Actually, what you are doing there is going against common sense and rational process, as well as the way things are done in almost everything other western democratic country. The U.S. has decided to go it's own way on many of these issues, while rejecting tried and true policy, and legislation that works well in many other countries around the world.

Take health care - every other western democratic country has some form of universal healthcare. These systems are delivered with lower costs per-user, with better outcomes than the U.S. system which has one of the highest costs per user in the west and overall outcomes that are middle to back of the pack! So do you truly want a better healthcare system with lower costs, or do you want to continue to do it YOUR way?

I didn't say a liberal couldn't be successful. I mean, look at George Soros - he has been successful at something. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Al Gore. All successful. I know a liberal who has a very successful contracting business - he made a fortune going into places like Ferguson and rebuilding what his own party destroyed.

Today we had Tillerson telling everyone to ignore the President and listen to the adults,

(link)

Aren't term limits just big government taking away choices for the people? In a government for and by the people shouldn't people be able to choose who they want. Republicans supposedly want small government at the local level until someone does something at the local level they don't like. Term limits are the same. Why should you restrict my choices? What good does that do? Isn't that actually increased government regulation? I thought republicans were against that.

Republicans supposedly want small government
