Shepard Smith, a Fox News reporter, said something to the effect that no US president before Trump has made such bellicose statements regarding world affairs in reference to President Trump’s “fire and fury” comments on North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un. Smith’s words mirror the indignation of much of the left.
Apparently Shep forgot about JFK saying that any missile launched from Cuba against the United States will be regarded as an attack on the US by the Soviet Union requiring a full retaliatory response by the US on the Soviet Union. Remember the Cuban Missile Crisis? Those of us who were alive at the time were glad Kennedy took a stand in 1962 when Fidel Castro was rattling the saber of Soviet missiles.
Kennedy stood his ground, the Soviets backed down and the missiles were removed from Cuban soil just 90 miles from our shores. We were also thankful that the Soviets did not give Castro the secret of the atom allowing him to build his own nuclear arsenal.
The only thing that has really changed today is the spreading “snowflake” mindset of the American population. If you say what you mean and mean what you say as a leader, indoctrinated snowflakes are enraged that you are committing micro-aggressions that offend the world at large. It’s abundantly clear that basic survival instincts are being “re-educated” out of much of the American population.
The kids in college today are no different than we were. But they’re getting shafted because they are just Sputnik-inspired cash cows brainwashed with all sorts of idiosyncratic culture-bending glorified Tupperware seminars in the guise of manufactured societal struggles-men against women, gays against heterosexuals, whites against blacks, rich against poor, old against young-you name it.
Most survive and come to their senses but snowflakes are problematic. They have no perception of the power of the atom and the evil of those who seek it. They have an almost Pavlovian attachment to fairness and feelings. They have no grasp of actual history where the appeasement policies of Clinton, Bush and Obama have lead us to the brink of a nuclear catastrophe on the wings of shady diplomacy and a distorted Neville-Chamberlain-like “understanding” of those who want to destroy us.
A properly nurtured snowflake is likely to see the president as more of a threat than Kim Jong-Un. When you can’t make sense of the world you’re toast.
