In North Korea, Missile Bases Suggest a Great Deception

He warned them and warned them, but they didn't listen to us "leftists", and now they look exactly like the dumbasses they are.
Seriously, did they really believe North Korea would just roll over because of a few threats? We can say a lot about what savages they are, but one thing North Korea does a good job of, is showing just how far in over his head Trump is.

Everyone else: "All he did was anger tweet at Kim Jong Un then jerk him off on TV, what was this supposed to accomplish?"
Republicans: "AT LEAST HE WAS TRYING UNLIKE THAT ****ER OBAMA!!!"
 
When a flunky like Kim Jong-un gets one over on the U.S. President, what's that saying?

Obama never gave Kim the time-of-day, much less elevated him to the world stage! :doh

Now it's time to put Kim back in his cage, if Trump has the gonads to do it.

Obama had back channel communication with Kim during essentially his entire 1st term. Maybe longer. But Kim never actually wanted to talk details or negotiate. He wanted trips and visits and concessions without giving anything up. Trump gave him exactly what he wanted.

Ben Rhodes book "The world as it is" details much of it. Very well written and a lot of detail. Gives you a lot of insight to the decision making process in the Obama administration, inner arguments amongst the people etc.
 
Just checking to see if any of you knew. You dont. Bloviating and bitching is all you have as usual. np. Thanks.
Do you really think we have such short memories that we can't remember North Korea was testing just a year ago, and said they only stopped because they achieved their benchmark? Do ya'?

Listen, not all of us have short memories like MAGA's. We don't need the president to do our thinking for us.

Thank you for admitting that.
 
Thank you for admitting that.
I didn't admit anything.

The fact remains North Korea didn't go gang busters with missile tests until Trump showed-up, and they achieved all their benchmarks in that timeframe.

You admitted that its been quiet for about a year.

Also you are incorrect about your other claim especially considering the advancements allowed under previous admins.

North Korea's nuclear development can't be blamed on Trump, says former Clinton advisor
 
It’s all good; sleep well tonight! Trump will let you know when to duck and cover..........”I’ll be the first to let you know.......”

Actually I'm concerned about NK weapons, unlike you.
Lmao apparently not enough, given that the president you were cheering for didn't get the job done. Similarly, the GOP lost the house because it didn't get the job done and in 2020, we will all get a chance to correct this mistake of a leader who praises dictators while getting absolutely nothing done.

The funniest part is how giddy you were at the thought of your used car salesman getting through to a guy who saw him coming a mile away, like a porn star looking for a payday.

So phony tough guy TRump is being made a fool of on the world stage

Christ, that's Trump's main shtick.

America the laughingstock
Trump Has Made America Into A Laughingstock
The year the world laughed at U.S.
European diplomats: Trump is a 'laughing stock'
'People here think Trump is a laughingstock'
Trump is making America the laughingstock of the world

and his base eats it up,

Think about what their lives must have been like before, if this is an upgrade?
 
This entire issue has been MSM managed by a biased "think tank" promoting the NeoCon agenda in support of the MIC and more and bigger wars. More MSM agenda promotion.

I think the sought after peace between North and South Korea is real. Coming off a successful and crisis-free 2016 Winter Olympics in which both countries showed the world they could work together, I think both countries finally decided they could take prudent steps to reunify. However, while allowing families to cross the DMZ for visits long overdue and tearing down old military outpost along the DMZ makes for good headlines of fostering goodwill in-country, that does nothing to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that NKor is denuclearizing. Destroying one old, run down nuclear test facility isn't proof. It's just propaganda for the world stage.

So, the question now is what will Pres. Trump do now provided these missile sites are real and they're outfitted with ICBM that are nuke-launch capable? Will he retaliate "with fire and fury the likes no one has ever seen before"? Or will his red line be a redherring much like Obama's was over Syria's use of chemical weapons?
 
I can hardly wait for Mr. Trump's greatest apologist to post how we should all wait to see the real evidence because that's what he's going to do until after he has personally inspected the so-called "missile sites" and personally determined that they actually contain actual missiles that actually contain actual nuclear weapons that are actually targeted at actual American targets and that the people in charge of firing those missiles have already been given the orders to fire them at a specific time on a specific date - at which point he will consider whether he has received enough evidence to begin to consider whether there is some possibility that Mr. Trump might have been slightly less than 100% correct when he announced that he had freed the world from the possibility of a nuclear war.

Not to mention the photo ops, the love letters and handshakes. :roll:
 
So what do you suggest? Bombings?

Start a war, China get's involved, millions die....no big deal. Just so you Trump Haters are happy that Trump isn't making us "be made a fool of".

Don't go there! There were plenty of people on the right calling for a pre-emptive strike against NKor just because of the threat of them having a nuclear missile capable of reaching the U.S. -- just ONE! So, let's not try to back away from warmongering the right frothed over not much more than 1-year ago when everyone else was pushing for calm under the banner of "trust, but verify". We saw ALOT of trust, but very little verification all coming amidst calls for turning NKor into the largest sheet of glass and rubble that would make Japan jealous.

Why do you guys aways want issues to be reduced to their absurd extreme? Either kiss Kim's ass or drop the big one on him.
News for you. And your Dear Leader. There's a process called 'diplomacy' and if it's done right great things can be accomplished. If it's done right.
 
Maybe Trump should just continue the well-honored tradition of kicking the North Korean can down the road. Will that make Leftists happy?

There has been no reference that the missile sites were ICBM sites nor of Nuclear abilities. CSIS is a agenda driven site funded and realized to project MSM coverage with an official sounding name. That's the meat in the sandwich.//
 
Funny. I've heard about any NK ICBM missiles flying over Guam for a long time now. That's a plus.

What did it cost us? It didn't cost us the billions Obama shipped over to Iran, nor lifting all the sanctions.

So no cost and no missiles flying around threatening the peace of the region, and the possibility of further diplomacy.
Doesn't sound like all that bad a bargain to me.
 
What inspectors?

You do realize that there was no agreement for "inspections", don't you?

What job?

You do realize that there was no agreement on exactly what the DPRK would (or would not) do, don't you?



Now you are calling Mr. Trump naive.

Trump naive, na:lamo

Actually, the CSIS did confirm that the base contained ICBMs.

Really? I'm curious if you've ever actually visited their website and reviewed anything about the organization or are you simply spouting off as a partisan detractor?

About Beyond Parallel: https://beyondparallel.csis.org/about/

A review of their leadership and editorial Boards indicates there are ALOT of knowledgeable people their who take their investigative reporting very seriously.

Thanks for the book recommendation. I'm an avid reader.

Possibly you might want to actually find out something about the Center for Strategic and InternationalStudies (as opposed to the Centre for Strategic and International Studies or the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service).

The "meat" in YOUR "sandwich is bologna.
 
So phony tough guy TRump is being made a fool of on the world stage and his base eats it up,wow, when can we be rid of this buffoon? After he literally destroys our standing in the world?:shock:

What could have been more foolish than Bill Clinton sending NK millions of American dollars to give up nukes only to later discover NK spent the whole wad on perfecting their nuclear weapons program.
