    Correct. They threatened to attack Guam 1 year ago, and the adults in the world simply allowed Kim to beat his chest.

    if they want legitimacy, this isn't the way to do it.
    Clinton tried to bring them into the world, but they took the money and militarized

    Attack Guam with what though?

    It's like the neighborhood crackpot threatening his neighbors with a pellet gun. He's annoying but nobody pays much attention to him until he goes out and buys a 12 gauge.

    Then, he has the neighbors attention. That's where everyone is with NK. I say everyone because of the UN 15-0 vote.

    The civilized and quasi-civilized world is pulling for Trump.

    Incorrect. The civilized world wants trump to stop trying to start another typical U.S war of aggression.

    Thus the vote you referenced

    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    No, he isn't. He is threatening the junta that is denying Democracy with action. Something Obama was incapable of and who embraced the junta when it came to power.

    It's easy for you to armchair QB because you don't live on around the Korean Peninsula. The Japanese are firmly on our side. Surely, the South Koreans would like to see Bowl Cut neutered.

    Just about everybody but the anti-Trump left and feckless/useless republican anti-Trump Rumpers is pulling for Trump.

    Wrong. whether they admit it or not, the civilized world needs the US to be strong.

    Why you perverts on the Left want the US to be weak is a mystery to this day.

    That is not incompatible w/ what he said......... Pax Americana, strong America etc...... STOP BEING OVERLY AGGRESSIVE, the rookie needs to let the folks that know what they're doing take over, cut off his phone & let him play golf instead of a playground bully, tough guy via his phone.....

    You're obsessing again. Take Irish's advice.

    Once again: Whether they admit it or not, the civilized world needs the US to be strong.
