The new policy translated:
We can’t shut Trump up, but we’re not going to give him the real launch codes.
T rump’s demeanor as potus is not built on patience. His survival in office depends on ratings. N. Korea will test his patience, and t rump’s ego cannot be challenged. He will respond. Mass casualties will ensue. I give it 3 months. T rump will start the new war on July 4th, just as a symbolic gesture to the world.
The Trump administration has settled on its North Korea strategy after a two-month review: “Maximum pressure and engagement."
North Korea’s Vice Minister Han Song Ryol said President Donald Trump’s tough tweets toward Pyongyang were adding to a “vicious cycle” of tensions. Han said if the U.S. shows any sign of “reckless” military aggression, Pyongyang is ready to launch a pre-emptive strike of its own.
Well, I’m thinking it’s just a matter of time now…

Maximum Pressure And Engagement
= Pushing the little Korean madman so far he snaps.
I bet Lloyeds of London ain’t giving any odds on the next war starting
The ruler of North Korea and the President of the United States…
One, a crazy-haired, preening, caricature from an insular clan of pathological megalomaniacs and kleptocrats who systematically loot the public from one generation to the next; an ignorant, churlish buffoon devoid of empathy, decency, and self-control; holding his populous hostage, in a cruel lampoon of democracy; leading a hard-core, hate-based, minority cult of partisan zealots and apparatchiks; isolated and despised around the world for undermining international norms; keeping the global community in a constant state of terror by his willingness to trigger Armageddon – on an egotistic whim – and burn down the entire planet in a fit of self-absorbed rage…just because he can.
The other, of course, is Kim Jong-Un.
In the end, however, they settled on a policy that appears to represent continuity.
And how did the generals manipulate the moron into accepting continuity? Why they put the word ‘maximum’ in front of it of course!
Little did they know that continuity is impossible, because Trump is mentally infirm. The strategy we’ve been using for years only works if the moron stays off Twitter.
Josh called it “broad spectrum derp.” I think that it’s that, and a whole lot worse.
“Maximum pressure and engagement.”

Maximum pressure and engagement.

China will use Trump to do whatever the fuck it is they want to do. They have been mocking him nonstop since Xi was here.
They know he is clueless and they will use it.
Honest to God, I hope it’s true and they’re not just effin’ with us.
As much as us?
Well, this is the AG of New York, who has been on the case a long time. I don’t think it’s election-related stuff but real estate-related stuff …
Perhaps the state and feds are working together?
I re-read the article and here’s a passage:
There is also more directly tangible evidence that the State of New York is involved in the federal action against Donald Trump and his empire. On March 19th, the Wall Street Journal documented that NY AG Schneiderman had hired a close associate of former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara to specifically focus on Trump’s criminal behavior (link). So Donald Trump’s decision to drop a massive bomb in Afghanistan today may have been because he knows what’s coming as well
