    “Americans should sleep well at night,” says Tillerson “The president is sending a strong message in language Kim Jong Un can understand."

    ^^^yes, an already unbalanced POTUS issuing threats to another unbalanced leader makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

    ...and I'm sure that Kim Jong Un was already quite aware of what the US is capable of in retaliation well before Trump threw his chest out yesterday.

    ...again, why can't he simply keep his mouth shut and tweeting anything that comes to mind?...the reckless rhetoric Trump spouted yesterday did nothing to ease tensions. ..."speak softly and carry a big stick".


    ...17 days of golf...lmao.

    I think the last 3 presidents did that and the result is north korea with nuclear weapons making threats by their madman leader. Someone like this only understands strength and the fact he could be shortly turned into a mud spot as a deterrent. Lets see how this plays out.

    ...Korea's malignant leader will eventually be overthrown or assassinated.

    ...^^^Mel, ...IMO, if Trump will just stfu and allow the economic sanctions imposed by the US, Russia, and China to take effect, Kim Jong Un's house of cards will eventually collapse.

    ...of course we will still have to deal with his successor whoever it may be, hopefully they will not be as bombastic and maniacal.


    ...this whole thing scares me because it could escalate and spin out of control if a line of communication between the US, Russia, and China, is not kept intact. Hard to grasp how Russia and China stand as far as being genuinely US friendly but even they must realize how dangerous Korea is or could be.

    I like your plan A better as sanctions usually take months to have an effect and despite their affirmative vote not quite sure how much I trust china to hold up their end of the sanctions

    Chump never ever ceases to amaze as to how ignorant and unfit for the job he is, and always will be.

    Semper Fi: "Always Faithful", to the US cause, but to hell with Chump, he's got no clue what Semper Fi is, unless it's blatantly endorsing Invanka's chinese clothing industry.....

    This irrational approach by Chump is what millions of Americans have feared. He has no concept of his decisions
    affecting the populace of South Korea, Japan & US territories and even the United States. I am regretting that his
    rants are the worst possible language to stir the drink on a world stage. What he is doing is putting on a show with
    detrimental effects for the universe. He knows exactly what he's doing and screw everybody. He does not care.
    He is a loose cannon! I dread the direction this man is going.

    I'm convinced that he'll do anything to stop the Mueller Investigation.........even war!

    My exact thoughts........he should take up permanent residence in Vladivostok so he can be closer
    to North Korea. Then I'd like to see him mouth off like the bully he is.

    DJT has no backbone. This man is unhinged. I honestly am dumbfounded by his
    spontaneous press conference at trump tower. It says everything I know he is.

    ...as much as it pains me, I actually have to side with Trump on this issue;

    http://www.npr.org/2017/08/15/54374...nterprotesters-also-to-blame-for-charlottesvi

    ...what some of the libs don't understand is that by confronting the neo-nazis/white supremacists gatherings, they, along with the freaking media, are giving them the very attention they are seeking. Here's an idea, if no one shows up to confront these haters and no one in the media covers the gathering on TV, they'll cease to having these inane marches. But on the other hand, when you show up to confront them there's going to be violence, and that exactly what happened this Saturday.

    ...simply put, stop giving them exactly what they want.

    Just tell me that those carrying the Tiki torches that there are some
    very fine people there just modifies his rejection of Nazism, KKK & white male nationalistic power.
    He is always giving mixed messages. As a Vietnam veteran, I see that he demonstrates that if it were not for the "alt-left" there would not have been violence. It is interesting he blames the left which I find to
    be erroneous. He spews bullshit. I have seen and been involved with violence, and I did not fight in that horrible war to have these white supremacist males & women to launch their anti-American protest & be proud of everything that is not peaceful & just. They came filled with hate & power........
    two character traits that Trump admires & lives every day.

    ***I have seen a better film of what happened in Charlottesville, Va........and I'm
    more convinced that those torchmen/women had one thing in mind: to hurt
    all those in their way........true cowardice & malice. Chump is dead wrong to
    blame both parties.

    PS- where did that moral rather Silent Majority of the GOP hard right wing go since they put the fox in the hen house. Have the moral right have no voice left, which would of been enough to shift & balance GOP/Conservative power, when chump was lipping off, ie Scarmouche daze and no wtf, remove his ass now from the silents.....embarrassing.
