That’s the new paradigm. Get used to it.
It might help to remember that North Korea was non- nuclear and we had a treaty with them to keep them non- nuclear ------ untill the strutting, boasting W. decided to trash the Treaty. W’s winger idea was to force North Korea to the negotiating table to force a tough treaty on them. Oppsie! that sure didn’t work and now we have to deal with a nuclear North Korea.
“We’re going to redouble our efforts to bring diplomatic and economic pressure to bear on North Korea.”
“And if that doesn’t work, then we’ll re-triple, or even re-quadruple, our efforts.”
“All options” also includes taking out Chiselin’ Trump before he has a chance to instigate North Korea by striking first.
I don’t think those desks are filled at Foggy Bottom, either. It’s no accident that #45 had to get his briefing on North Korea in the famous ten minutes with Xi Jinping. (Many are surprised that he was able to pay attention for 10 minutes, but that’s another story.)
Josh has an excellent editor’s blog post this morning concerning the limited options we have and why the threat of a first strike is dangerous. Anybody can drop a big bomb on Afghanistan or missiles on a semi-deserted Syrian air field. An attack on N. Korea would make the war in Iraq look like a game of pat-a-cake.
Trump is worth a million times his weight in gold to the GOP Congress and various defense contractors. He’s their useful idiot. They’d never bamboozle Pence or some other replacement to the degree Trump’s defective intellect will allow them to. He’s a made man, protected, immune to harm from his party.
It had to be last-minute, because, up until the very end, there was a good chance that Chiselin’ Trump was going to change his mind and send Jared instead of Pence. Chiselin’ Trump finally realized, though, that sending Pence, instead of Jared, signaled to North Korea a greater likelihood of Chiselin’ Trump’s willingness to launch the first strike during the visit.
Love it. I realize I am not up to speed on the nuances of leather but Googled Leather Daddy and saw are some Putin/Trump memes inline that unfortunately are probably not suitable for posting here.
Just bypass “The Stingless Pleather Paddle®”. Definitely an anti-climactic item.
Does Miss Kitty have a signature line of products ?
You’d be amazed at what they’re doing with titanium mesh these days.
Right, and I will say that for Pence it’s a bit of a stretch, it’s an incomplete look for sure. He needs the hat/cap thingey. And he has to finally commit to the full black studded leather material. This horsey clubby brown leather is nowhere, babe. You wear something as haggard as brown leather and you’re going home alone, and that’s hard to do on “Leather Night” in any basic DC club.
Have you seen the Putin in drag stuff? It’s banned and of course it’s infamous. And marvelous. And fabulous.
‘I’m not saying we wouldn’t get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh, depending on the breaks. And Martha, do you remember what Clemenceau said? He said war was too important to be left to the generals. When he said that, 100 years ago, he might have been right. But today, war is too important to be left to politicians. They have neither the time, the training, nor the inclination for strategic thought. I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.’
Putin has also sued Warner Bros. for making him a laughingstock internationally by modelling Dobby from Harry Potter on him. To be fair, I’ve seen these side by sides with Prince Charles too, and they also look close. Very close.
But this news article certainly is a bit weird, maybe even too weird for Russia: Russian lawyers tried suing Warner Brothers because Dobby, as in Dobby from Harry Potter, looks too much like Vladimir Putin.
Pence’s facial poses appear skull-like…
I don’t see how that is grounds for a suit by Putin, being compared to Dobby is probably the most generous comparison anyone has ever made for him. The Dobby estate on the other hand, should nail those bastards making such defamatory comparisons for everything they are worth.
Why is Supreme Commander of Joint Chiefs Cuck Kushner not overseeing Mike Pence’s activities? He will help make sure that the table is strong enough for all the options.
We have not had a Korean War in over 50 years. The need for a Korean War is as obvious as the case that NATO is obsolete. Let us implement the Trump doctrine by bombing a different country other than Korea selected by Supreme Commander of Internal Security Ivank Trump every week to teach the Koreans a lesson and send a strong message.
I understand from the Maria Bartiromo interview on Fox News that Preshitident Trump told the generals to bomb Iraq with 59 missiles and they bombed Syria instead.
This could also pass for Mike Pence??
The Korean War did not end.
