Is war imminent?! Dinner with generals the "calm before the storm."
« on: October 06, 2017, 10:54:42 AM »
Is D. Trump going to reignite the war with North Korea? He referred to a dinner with his generals as "the calm before the storm."  When asked "what storm, Mr. President", he replied cryptically "You'll see..."   :shock:

Is this just more "good cop, bad cop" foreign policy, meant to let the Norks know he's unhinged, thereby intimidating them, or does he really have something in mind?

Looking back over the course of his presidency, Trump doesn't really need an excuse to bomb North Korea, or even Iran, other than it's not what Obama would do..  Trump's main policy seems to be undoing the policies of others.  He has already said that he "would not fail" where other presidents have failed in regards to North Korea.

I'm sure Trump has a level headed, even handed strategy for dealing with North Korea, based on sound policy and logic.   :lol:

What do you all think?  Time to warm up the old bomb shelter?

Trump is unpredictable,  that's good and bad.  Rocket Man is, well who really knows what's inside his head.  The question is will we stop giving N.K. 3 billion dollars a year? I mean we are probably funding their weapons program.... Which is stupid.

Trump is basically saying don't screw with us, we are calm now, never know when a storm might be coming.  Keep those bad actors guessing.

This made me laugh out loud..
Just wait for sweeps week..
Donnie's gonna pull out all the stops...
 Celebrity Apprentice didn't get those ratings for no reason.

In serious though, I think everyone's cards are on the table at this point.
If NK attacks they know they will be annihilated..they aren't going to bomb Guam or any of the other crazy things they've threatened.

But at the same time, it's obvious they have absolutely no intention of stopping their programs. Sanctions be damned. Trump's threats be damned.

The only question is will the admin reject this and do a first strike..

I'm guessing no..

Sort of what worries me.  I don't think Tillerson is playing, but I wouldn't put it past Trump to start WWIII as a distraction, if things continue to go down hill. 

I don't think much of D. Trump, but I do wish the media would back off a little bit... I don't want to see what happens when he gets pushed over the edge.

I imagine the last days starting something like,

"Sooo, I'm a MORON, eh?  I'LL SHOW YOU MORON!  General, I need immediate plans for a nuclear strike on the Korean Peninsula!!!"

 :poke: :bear:

 :swear

 :blob6:

We all know D. Trump to be too level headed, and too willing to take advice to do this. Don't we?  Don't.  We?  All we need is a Dr. Strangelove to indulge Mr. President in his effort to succeed where so many others have failed with diplomacy. 

It's unnerving that Trump sees the last 25 years of diplomacy as a failure.  Yes, it failed to prevent a nuclear N. Korea, but it succeeded in preventing the re-ignition of the Korean War.  I worry when a great intellect such as Trump sees preventing nuclear war as a "failure" and simultaneously has a strong desire to distract from his political shortcomings...

After all, "only one thing will work" when it comes to N. Korea...  :angry4:

Seems like every president is willing to fight to the last 19 year old, the last time a president actually was out there fighting along side was in independence day.

Nope, we had Presidents who have served honorably, and latet in life, picked their words and their fights prudently,George HW Bush and  and Truman come to mind

Now we have a chickenhawk, and as distasteful as that is, a 70 year old man baby.

I guess we should play the appeasement game with them like the previous three Presidents.
