North Korea has fired two short-range ballistic missiles off its east coast, according to South Korea's military, the second such launch in a week.Meanwhile, Trump continues to brag about his bromance with one of the most brutal dictators on the globe.
The two missiles were launched from the Wonsan area early on Wednesday.
Last week's launch was the first such action since US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un met in June.
Trump has completely taken over the GOP, which is why none of them question why Trump only gets along with authoritarians and dictators.
Once again N. Korea has proved that they can hit the sea if they point a rocket in the right direction .
ReplyDeleteOverruled, presumptive, no submitted evidence they were not aiming at Seoul or we’re aiming at the sea.
ReplyDeleteTest firing new weapons at first blush. Could be SRB motors. This is probably the game state.

I gave the president the benefit of the doubt when he first approached the little dick-tator. I mean, if done correctly, and if the North Korean leader was sufficiently threatened, and coerced into standing down, it would have been a very good thing, for the entire world. Of course, those were all big if's, and unlikely, but hey, it had not been tried to sit down with him, and discuss a different course of action in the area. For a reason, of course, since it has historically been the stance of America that we do not negotiate with terrorists, nor terroristic nations.
ReplyDeleteBut I had my benefit of the doubt on a very short string, and it was pulled after only the first meeting, when it became apparent to pretty much everyone that Trump was never going to succeed with Kim Jong Un. The problem is that some people think that Kim is mentally crazy, and Trump thinks he is of the same mentality as any normal American. The fact is, he is neither. Kim Jong Un is pretty much the same as Trump. A megalomaniac with huge amounts of power, and no one who can tell him he is wrong, that can make him see why. The only difference is that Kim Jong Un has the ability to place his enemies in front of anti aircraft guns, and blow them into the next life, and not have anyone stop him. I wonder if Donald Trump had that power, if he would use it?
