Kim calls Trump 'deranged,' says Trump 'will face results beyond his expectation'

[Azadina]

Question.

If I was to arrest you and then freeze $10,000 in assets of yours and then let you go but hold the assets.

When I finally unfreeze those assets. Did I pay you $10,000 or did I return $10,000 that was already yours?

As I recall, Iran got only some part of their own money back. So to complete the analogy, you'd only give part of the 10000 back to him, if he gives you something of value in return for part of his own money.

Do you not understand what war crimes are or do you just not care that the POTUS threatened to commit war crimes with his threat?

He threatened military action if we were attacked. Or do you think we should sit still if NK attacks us?

[jibberbox85]

I don't understand how you read what he said, then you proceed to say something completely different and act as if they're the same thing. Words have meaning, please stop pretending they mean whatever you want them to mean.

Even though I disagree with how Trump is handling the issue if you're going to bring up "War Crimes" you should start with N Korea. With that said, N Korea has been threatening to destroy the US for many years along with killing, torturing and starving their own people. Also, keep in mind that Kim even went as far as to murdering several of his own family members when he took control of the regime. If you're going to bring up war-crimes you should start with the North Korea leadership first.

If I told you I would take your children and put them into slavery if you attacked me. Would you take that as completely fine as long as I put the qualifier that I would only take your kids if I attacked you first or would you take offense that I just threatened your kids? Or as a bystander hearing another make that threat, how would you take such a threat.

This isn't a hard one to figure out man unless you are actively trying not to figure it out.

Nobody is, or shouldn't be if they are, saying threats are war crimes. Acting on those threats would be. So if NK did those things they have threatened then they would be guilty of war crimes, just as the US would be for 'totally destroy[ing] North Korea' as a defensive act.

Human rights violations, murder, and a whole litany of other reprehensible behavior against your own citizens should absolutely be punished but they don't count as war crimes.

Right, like I stated, if one is going to bring up something like how a threat is a war-crime they should start with a brutal regime that has threatened to the destroy the US along with other heinous acts of crimes such as murdering, torturing, and starving their own people for the past 50+ years.

Not right when nobody is saying the threat is the war crime. The key difference between the threats coming from the various Kims, and their cohorts, over the years (their general shittiness that you insist on lumping in here, despite it being a thing all on its own, notwithstanding) and the ones made by Donny boy is that they're incapable of decisively/effectively acting on any threat they've made while we're quite capable of doing exactly what der puzzigräbenfuhrer described.

Not sure what you're getting at here. Do you think that the focus should be more on Trumps words about destroying NK? (When referring to the defense of America, and, America's allies) or should the focus be more so on a brutal regime that is well known for threatening to destroy the US (Leaving the US in Ashes), along with other heinous acts of crimes such as murdering, torturing, and starving their own people.

The NK situation can be summed up like this:

Liberals want NK to nuke the US or our allies -before- we do anything.

Yeah...I think I prefer a more proactive approach.

You might want to take a look at your signature. Seem very appropriate to your post.

Shitposting continues.

Rocket Man reminds me of that Iraqi foreign minister during the Iraq war. While his city burned behind him, he was claiming victory so grand, that US solider were committing suicide out of fear of facing Iraqis in battle. Hilarious.

I think America has had about enough though. At some point, after all this trash talking, we ought to make ourselves available for the exchange of violence he is seeking.

That movie was pure genius. What happened to that guy? He was also genius in a movie I forget the name of, where he plays a serial killing hitchhiker who wants to get rich off a 6 minute abs video.

Something about Mary.

He still does shows according to his Wiki page, but mainly voice acting. Also has a podcast.

Sadly, Kim Jong Un can't do anything to Trump directly. But they could collaborate with Russia on cyber attacks.

no, the liberals understand that de escalating the situation is a better solution. A truly powerful man does not need to threaten his opponent. Trash talking, name calling is petty, childish, shortsighted and ultimately a sign of weakness.

Trump has the might of the US army and nuclear arsenal at his fingertip, everyone knows it, he does not need to brag and threaten nations around with it. This is not sid meier's civilization game, this is real life.

Even during the cold war, US and the soviet union never started a nuclear war. I wonder what would have happened if trump was president during the cuba missile crisis.

[omeomorfismo]

i have a problem with what he said. War between nations is one thing, military rule of engagement, not purposely targeting civilian population. I understand collateral always happen but it must never be the aim.

He said "totally destroy north korea". That means its civil population as well. That's a war crime, that's a crime against humanity. and i do have a problem with that.

exactly when US doesnt target civil population? air bombing is its trademark basically from 2° world war. they "arent" war crime only because onu is its bitch.

btw funny, at least kim conquered his power instead to be elected

Trump speaking about Kim Jong Un last night:

He may be smart, he may be strategic, and he may be totally crazy.

He may be right. He may be crazy. But it just might be a lunatic he's looking for.
