True, but some judicious soft-pedaling keeps me out of rackety tiresome side arguments about who’s lethally naive not me you’re lethally naive and on and on. I’ve read “Homage to Catalonia” and I know where that stuff can end up.

I’m speculating that the Rusians and Chinese, with their many surveillance satellites, must have known the true course of the flotilla, several days ago. The Chinese may well have informed the North Koreans. In any case,

I didn’t think much of it at the time thinking that they were moving a second carrier group into the area. The U.S.S. Ronald Reagan carrier group is already based in Japan.

@mattinpa, I don’t see here that anyone has mentioned that this song is from '72. I’m assuming the Lehrer song below is even older. It took us this long to get this real-time stupid.

The world map that Trump knows about.
Of course, he is illiterate. So he misreads the map to mean the yellow-green countries are places he can be pissed on.
