President Is Just Speaking Kim Jong-un’s Language

And this is supposed to be reassuring.

Interpreted: WTF am I supposed to say about the President’s unhinged and ominous language? They are both unhinged, insane, and don’t give a damn about anyone but themselves and their image.

salin: sometimes I almost feel bad for this guy.

Kim Jong-Un believes that he, personally, can survive a nuclear attack. I’m sure that he spends most of his time in an underground bunker that he believes will be safe. He has already demonstrated that he has no concern for the well-being of his population.
And his population is largely sheltered from Trump’s threats of fire and fury. They aren’t concerned, because they haven’t heard it.

You know, if we were talking about a couple of semi-normal individuals, I would agree that it is basically all posturing and breast-beating.

But we are talking about a couple of irrational, unpredictable lunatics here.

Editors, clean-up in paragraph 6!

Jong-un is Mr. Kim’s given name. For future reference, most Asian languages place the family name before the given name (for example President of China, Mr. Xi), opposite of Western language convention.

Speaking the same language - Idiocracy, an odd combination of words, hand gestures and display of the hind quarters!

Honestly I am changing my mind that Kim is a lunatic. Trump for sure mentally unfit and weak.

Kim is a brutal dictator, but I do not think he is crazy.

“Speaking to reporters during a surprise visit to Guam Wednesday, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson reassured Americans that they should not be concerned about North Korea’s most recent threats of attack against Guam and defended the President’s “fire and fury” comments.”

Tillerson should sit back and parse his statement very slowly and let what he said sink in.

And consider that it is not conventional warfare he is talking about.

Not be concerned?

As the Bush administration told us at one time, go shopping.

Yiou might be right. However, I do think he is crazy enough to launch a nuke if Donnie pokes him hard enough.

So, I might be persuaded to move just short of lunatic – but not far from it.

Rex, of course, is speaking from his vast diplomatic and foreign service experience …

T-Rex, we know you had to say something, but that wasn’t it.

By the way, what are you doing to deescalate the situation?

I was talking to a police officer friend yesterday. As you can imagine, he’s dealt with his share of mentally unstable people. I asked him how well threats work when dealing with people like that. After the laughing had subsided, he said that threats to people who are unstable is probably the least responsible action to take, he then said “you had better be ready for a fight once that happens.”
