Trump - "My nuclear button works" message to Kim Jong Un

[Belize]

Thanks bby.

And yes, after people responding so quickly then when some twit goes "HURR POST PROOF" and then I do everybody suddenly gets quiet.

Tastes like winning to me. Diplomacy does not work with NK.

Neither does flailing on Twitter like President Twittard is doing.

Has he gotten them to stop testing missiles? Stop development on nuclear warheads? No?

Then he's a failure by your standards.

It's fun watching his followers debunk their own beloved god kings statements of being best deal maker ever. Now they seem to say he's too incompetent to make deals worth crap, and war being the only option because of that.

"Diplomacy works!"

*Proves Example of when it doesn't work*

"Doesn't mean anything Diplomacy works!"

Well I can't say I am surprised. On ignore you go.

Your example showed that it did work when using any sensible metric to measure success.

At least I know with this president if NK does anything we will end them swiftly.

Obama would likely apologize that we made the poor NK's be angry at us. Surely it was the fault of America!

whatever it take for you too sleep at night honey.

I'm sure he'll take action as swiftly as he locked up Hillary, built the border wall (supposed to start on day one remember?), as fast as he'll open up libel laws to go after media, release tapes of his conversations with Coney or at the breakneck speed he never follows up on any of his empty vapid threats.

I would strongly suggest you sit down and shut up a bit, lest you keep shooting yourself in the foot again.

And they will likely end SK and Japan. But I guess collateral is acceptable if we get to show our might, eh?

Still of the opinion that rocket man does realize that if he does anything stupid he will cease to exist, and that frightens him.

What has that got to do with juvenile posturing?
If anything Trump comes accross as someone who might mess that part up.
I'm not convinced that he is capable of handling that button, he might be more likely to accidentially push it than use it when "rocket man does something stupid".

What makes you think Obama was afraid of war? Middle East involvement kind of pisses on that notion.

OT: It's Trump. Tweets like those cease to surprise in any shape or form. Let the two leaders bicker through the media/Twitter, better than lives being lost.

You can believe that all you want, but that doesn't make it true. "Rocket Man" just keeps stepping up the provocations at every opportunity, why would he be doing that if he feared for his survival? Empty threats don't work when the entire world can plainly see that you're not prepared to carry them out.

Until their bickering escalates beyond the media and Twitter, at which point a great many lives could be lost in nuclear fire. We're kind of trying to avoid that.

[PosPosPos]

I wasn't a officer.

Not hard to see why, since you clearly don't have the mettle or character befitting of a leader.

Last I checked, subscribing to alt-right/neo-nazi ideology generally are huge minuses as well.

Don't we live in the best time line? (We do)

Here is Bill Clinton talking about the success of diplomacy with NK, dated 1994.

http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=49319

"Good afternoon. I am pleased that the United States and North Korea yesterday reached agreement on the text of a framework document on North Korea's nuclear program. This agreement will help to achieve a longstanding and vital American objective: an end to the threat of nuclear proliferation on the Korean Peninsula."

And they are testing ICBMs now?

So, yeah, the tooth fairy. Good job diplomacy.

Obama threatened with US military might back in 2014, worked out great, didn't it?

(Btw this will be Iran in 15 years. Thanks Obama)

What does this even mean?

Look dude, there are over 7 billion in the world. A sizeable culling is sorely needed to bring the numbers back down to manageable levels.

You need to have your head checked.

Careful not to cut yourself on all that edge and become part of the culling.

Of course he knows that. It doesn't frighten him, he takes it for granted.
He tested this new president early, and this POTUS showed to be an excellent tool for his internal propaganda. Probably the best NK has ever had. The Great Leader postures a little and the POTUS blows up.
This in turn gives excellent propaganda material for NK to use "Look, you need us to protect you all from the crazy maniacs in the US that wants to kill us all! We are your only hope!"

Maybe Kim himself isn't that smart even if I'd think he is. His closest advisers deffo are. He's posturing to get propaganda material to keep himself in power.

Oh please you are acting like NK isn't already horribly oppressed and brainwashed. Don't give me that shit.

You people are ridiculous. "Oh we can't show strength to ISIS / NK / w/e because it gives them PROPAGANDA MATERIAL. THE HORROR."

Weakness and bending over doesn't do anything to stop these types who hate us.
