It wasn't about NK. NK are no threat

It was about reassuring the American people.

Donald Trump's base respond to "We're going to fuck you up if you dont fall in line" not "We need to find a diplomatic way to be peaceful.

I mean Trump literally said it himself:

If NK attack Guam or SK, then that will be the end of NK. So that Trump has to do is keep his people happy.

Trump said there would be "fire and fury" if NK made more threats.

NK then made more threats. Trump did nothing.

I mean, I love hating on Trump as much as anybody, but this is true. Nobody actually expected Trump to launch a missile just because NK's even-more-mentally-unstable-than-ours leader added another to his nearly-infinite list of empty threats.

If NK actually attacks Guam and Trump still doesn't pull the trigger, then you can say his threats mean nothing.

Trump is a cuck

Trump is not available: He's on a 17 days golf holiday. LOL
Well. What you want is what you get.
It's hillarious.

Ok so at first liberals cry and say Trump will get us into a war just because someone says mean thing to him.

Now Trump has mean things said and doesn't get us into a war and liberals are still crying.

You just can't win with them.

I'm not one to usually defend Trump. But I hope the people who are complaining now are not the same people who complained when Trump gave the order to bomb the Syrian airbase.

Who said we wanted war? We want Trump to stand his fucking ground before we get nuked. Come up with a solution as he should as president.

This isn't anything like a bush wars. This guy has actually nukes that can hit part of the us.

It's only been a few hours, let's wait to see what happens before concluding he didn't get us into a war.

Taking Trump out of mix though people have been discussing NK nuclear proliferation for years and no one has done anything real to stop it. This problem was not caused by the current admin, its the cause of the entire world ignoring an obvious threat to world peace. It Is now a very real threat and it will be interesting to see how the consequences of failing to address it sooner play out. I obviously hope there isn't nuclear war but I'm not sure how you get them to back down at this point.

Yeah, you're right. Obviously that batshit insane leader who has been​ developing nukes and threatening to use them on us for this long is just gonna forget about it. Especially now that he's capable of it.

There's a lot more options than war. Different things can be done to prevent a war.

I hate Trump as well, but lets be real, what do you expect him to do here?

I feel dirty as about to defend Trump, but theres nothing worth Trumps response. NK hasnt actually done anything but make threats.

Jumping the g hijn for a possible WW3 should not be the auto go to option right now.

I expect him to shut his fucking mouth and quit making everthing worse. He's a coward and he knows it, handle through back channels like every president before did.

North Korea is not a country that reasons. If they are going to attack no amount of talking is going to stop them.

Bingo.

They whine incessantly that he doesn't have the right temperament, then whine when he doesn't go in guns-a-blazing

Which is it?

People who actually want a war with NK are some of the dumbest around, surely

some very dense people itt

he made a threat and didn't follow through. Now he looks weak, because he is weak

NK's rhetoric isn't really to strike fear in the international community but rather to remind its own citizens on who's the boss. Although it shouldn't be dismissed outright, its threats are mostly harmless.

Trump's threat was contingent on NK launching a nuke at Guam.

Who's dense exactly?

Keep up your ridiculous resistance, though.

trump's threat statement in full, in video form, with him saying it and no room for wiggling

there was no mention of guam. it was NK who mentioned guam in their followup 'pre-emptive strike' threat

but we all can know their statement is BS because the point of first strike is to destroy an enemy's capacity to strike back and hitting guam would not accomplish that

Have you considered the idea that Trump said that to assure the American people? To assure the people in Guam that he is taking this seriously and that he will not take the threats lightly? It's more for our benefit - than it is to Kim King Un.

You're complaining for the sake of complaining. You're a never Trumper.

This is the resistance. They complain no matter what. They don't even know what they're resisting anymore.

They have to wait for their Colbert overlord to tell them who and what to hate at any given moment. (See: James Comey)

don't tell me what i expect.

i criticize making empty threats; they would not be better as real threats. what would be better is silence.

trump policy wrt NK has been highly effective--even praiseworthy--up until yesterday. cutting off their coal trade was a genuinely smart plan. it seems to have been working given how much they've ratcheted up the rhetoric.

The fact of the matter is Trump hasn't done anything wrong here. Nobody has died, and we've remained silent for the past 3 presidencies and NK has gained more nukes and learned how to use them.

That strategy doesn't work obviously.

They've only gotten stronger since we've ignored them.

I agree with the sanctions as well - I wanted the UN to do that since they killed that kid for no fucking reason.

he made an empty threat we all knew he wouldn't (and shouldn't) follow up on. he should not have made that threat. in doing so he undermined his own power, and i would like him to have the power to act on the international stage in our interests.

Caution999 posted...

we've tried and failed to get china to stop propping them up. a place trump has succeeded is in negotiating with china to reduce their support for the regime. i would argue that is his greatest success as president.
---

He's still the President. He can still launch a nuke at the press of a button. This is just nit-picking politics. His power hasn't vanished. You might have a case if he kept doing this (boy who cried wolf scenario - like what people do with MUH RUSSIA narratives), but not after one single time.

Notice how none of the orange brigade addresses the fact that Trump is a coward and all talk. They deflect by saying the left wants nuclear war.

Trump said more THREATS would be met with "fire and fury", they made more threats and he did nothing. Fact

Defend your orange discharge god being a coward who is all talk.

What is your end goal here? Do you want him to strike first or not?

It's one single time - to assure Americans and people that are in Guam that the President is taking this seriously. (as he should)

You guys can scream "BUT RUSSIA!!" for 9 months and Trump can't put an 'empty' threat out there just once? And it's not empty. You're overly dissecting what he said and politicizing this because you have a personal vendetta against Trump. Relax. Yeah, you're allowed to hate the guy, but the fact of the matter is he has done nothing wrong in this situation. Keep your hatred for Trump on other subjects...please. I'm not asking that much. There's nothing here to hate on.

By nit picking on this particular issue it just makes you look so salty. You just end up looking salty. It's obvious that you're upset just because you simply despise the man.

The only thing you got is your dick in your hand.

You have yet to defend your shit bag master without deflecting and going off on the left.

He's a blow hard who ran on being strong militarily and making America great and blah blah blah.

Defend that, defend Trump yet again proving he was all talk WITHOUT mentioning liberals or if I want a nuclear war.

You're deflecting and saying bullshit unrelated this topic. It's possible you simply aren't intelligent enough to comprehend it.

You're the one throwing personal insults around.

Look at Darkman's posts. At least he came up with a solid point - even if I disagree with it (the undermining his own power bit).

Dude: you hate Trump. We get it. Find another subject to complain about him about - this one is a nothingburger.

I'm not even saying you can't hate the guy. You're losing this battle over nit picking politics.

You haven't responded to my post, though...

I'm done dude. I hope one day you'll find it in your heart to maybe be more objective about Trump rather than blindly hate every action he takes. That means, that yes, you may criticize him over legit concerns...but stuff like this? This is nothing.

Oh Trump does mean something...1/3 of Americans believe in Trumps ability to handle North Korea. Yikes!
