NP

We use any obscure thing to toss in a completely-unrelated (but sometimes spot-on) reference.

Too bad Jerry is such an Obama-tool. Well, no surprise.

He’s got too many people in his ear.

HAS HAS to do something because you’re right, he said he would.

And he bashed obama’s red lines.

He needs to act

I think if President Trump was going to make a move to take out this little twerp, the first thing you’d hear about would be sanctions and diplomacy. Expect the unexpected...Trump doesn’t tell the world what he’s going to do.

1.). Provocation.
2.). Escalation.
3.). Maintenance (of tension/hostility.)

This has been the NK policy since the late 1990’s.

Today was the provocation, there will be an escalation.

They did it to Bush and they did it to Obama, two major incidents within the first two years in office. It’s about being seen (internally) to smite the larger enemy.

Trump is gonna have to launch an attack. He can’t do a red line.
God protect our troops and the South Korean people.

Ain’t going to happen. China will not wait this time for us to get up near the Yalu.

But, there is hope, as China does not want THADD installed in South Korea. It could operate as an anti-missile system vis-a-vis China as well. They’ve been told that THADD will be operational and continue to operate as long as North Korea continues its nuclear WMD and ballistic missile programs.

Just read Clancy's Full Force and Effect (actually written by Mark Greaney). It is eerie how similar events in the book are to what is going on in NK right now. Good book. I hope real life imitates art in this case.

Yep, the ability to predict trajectory is an amazing advantage in avoiding war.

Spot on.

North Korea's far bigger concern than us is China.

China doesn't want a war over there ... they're too busy "taking over the world" economically.

I think China will put a quick end to this if it gets any more dicey (and China may have already arrived at that point).

Trump knows the Fat-Boy has to be stopped.

He is not winging it. He is relying on Mattis and McMaster and Pompeo and Tillerson.

I'm taking a wild guess here, but you don't have more experience than them.

“Landed in the Sea of Japan as per Fox news”

If it made it to the Sea, not sure it was a failure unless it launched right on the Coast.

"I called for Donna Chang."

Yeah, but she's Jewish - used to be Changstein - why are you taking wisdom advice from her?

"Latest live update - the test failed."

Or...was intercepted...

"The missile, launched from a region north of the capital, Pyongyang, appeared to have blown up a few seconds into flight, South Korea's Yonhap news agency said."
