'rocket man' Published September 17, 2017 Fox News

NOW PLAYING Kim Jong Un says NKorea nearing equilibrium with US military Close President Trump apparently has a new name for North Korean strongman Kim Jong Un as the rogue leader pursues a nuclear-missile program -- “rocket man.”

“I spoke with President Moon of South Korea last night,” Trump tweeted early Sunday morning. “Asked him how Rocket Man is doing. Long gas lines forming in North Korea. Too bad!”

Kim has apparently conducted six nuclear bomb tests and numerous inter-continental missile launches in his attempt to affix a nuclear warhead on a rocket that could reach foreign soil.

Norks have 10 cars per 1000. USA has about 800. Gas lines is a problem with different importance.

He should draw a line and when the guy crosses it take action. This name calling and chest thumping g is daring the guy to lob an H bomb somewhere and don’t think her won’t. you don’t taunt a mentally ill megliomaniac. And it looks unpresidential and juvenile like two 13 year old boys saying their dads can beat each other up.

There’s no legitimate reason to do it and worse case scenario it’s dangerous.

As far as your comment about the media and 2020, bite me.

I think that is exactly right NK launching is the unit impulse input signal being feed into our defense system to see the system response.

Hence the frequency of the launches

Also a launch might engage some sort of process that is insecure opening up the navy ships to hacking. By launching they can control when the security vulnerability will be exploitable i.e when we leave the door unlocked.

“Trump has to fix this convoluted mess. There is no easy way to do it.”

I’ve got a better idea, how about Japan and South Korea do something about it?

Watch them regarding the Spratly Islands and possibly to try and intimidate Japan, too. (given what, 2 missiles over them now?)

NK is being used as the agitator proxy, IMHO. And a very dangerous one at that.

Long gas lines forming in Norklandia because of Rocket Man.

“There’s no legitimate reason to do it and worse case scenario it’s dangerous.”

Nonsense.

It’s powerful psychological warfare. Making Kim an object of ridicule to the world by the most powerful man in the world, and Kim’s mortal enemy.

Koreans and Chinese and Russians on every corner of the planet are already calling Kim “Rocket Man”. He’s now a worldwide joke.

Sure, surprised you didn’t “wish Trump would stop tweeting”.

Nice early POSOD post, I’ll let you have the last word now.

So you are all for a war that kills millions as long as we don't taunt the adversary into an unforced error ...

Yes, there is a reason and it is less dangerous than the status quo.

As far as your comment about the media and 2020, bite me.

Now those comments seem to me to be unpresidential and juvenile.

when I’m running I’ll let you know and I won’t be name calling people with H bombs.

Enjoy the games some of us actually think it’s serious.

You missed the one where he said “(blank) the president” a couple days ago. Now he just used one letter for the word.

In addition to psychological it is physical strategy. Each launch is one less rocket that can cause harm. It lowers arsenal and increases need for funds if replacing. The more he can be goaded into test fires, the lesser threat if we have to attack.
