'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.

These two are hand in glove in their approach to Fat Boy.....do you really think they don't know what they're doing....that every step is being carefully constructed as they position 'every detail' in this threat?.....From Trumps address at the Andrews to the UN and all the way up and down what is being done....there isn't a moment they're not 'speaking' to Fat Boy.... which BTW often doesn't mean using ones voice.....

Trump and Mattis know ‘exactly’ what they are doing....you are greatly underestimating the moves in play.....both verbal and otherwise....And further are not privy to the whole picture. Fat-Boy has the mentality of a kid who thinks all he's doing is playing with matches.....as do those in his administration. They 'believe' they can continue just as Fat Boy's father did but are soon to find out things have changed....all in good time.

It is signaling to that megalomaniac that we want this fight.

then let’s keep daring him to light one. He’s lit a dozen matches already. When do we stop playing like a kid and take adult action. I’m glad you can see into the moods of our leaders. When they stop the guy then I’ll admit I was wrong.

My father drove a Patton tank in the Korean war. He spoke twice of the horrors. Only twice. So, I'm not a warmonger.

There is a time for fighting and a time for FIGHTING. I don't doubt that NK poses some danger. I think 'lil Kim shows signs of inbreeding (i.e., he may be crazy), and it's a situation worth monitoring.

But insofar as the same Deep State that's thwarting Trump's agenda is also pushing a Hillaryesque warmongering theme, and given the preponderance of globalists that WANT us to nuke NK, I'd like to think all rational adults - old and young - have a solid basis for skepticism.

To wit: THIS is what makes us quake in our shoes?

Let me be clear: Contrast a fourth-world nation that can't keep the lights on at night, with the label of being a massive threat to the free world.

Something is off.

I also have NO doubt that Trump and Mattis aren't dumb like the prior administration. We have adults in the White House who do not signal the US' strategy on CNN.

I think a more plausible scenario with Trump and Mattis is Kim's Generals start dropping dead during team dinners. After a restless night's sleep, Kim awakens to this...

Psyops....We'd never know about it, but I suspect it would be VERY effective at neutralizing Kim. If you give it enough time, and get enough subversive element into NK, then maybe the poor people of North Korea will do a Ceaușescu on Kim.

The night lights photo has been posted many times. I think it was Sec Rumsfeld that first brought it to our attention. Any way, most versions of that photo are of the Korean peninsula and are intended to contrast the poverty and just plain backwardness of the north compared with the south.

What’s interesting in the photo you posted is not the darkness of North Korea but the large areas of China that are well and in a band intensely lit. The China of today is not the backward communist state so many still believe it to be.

He’s warming up like a Whirling Dervish, but has not thrown a punch.

You’re right.

The only thing MorphingLibertarian is morphing into is a democrat.

He lobs rockets over pother countries. He exploded an H bomb. I guess that’s just all fakery to you. Let’s wait until his missiles can reach the entire north Pacific Rim and he can blackmail us with an arsenal of nuclear weapons and ICBMs; maybe then you will feel the punch.

I can see that taking threats from maniacs and their development of H bombs and testing of long range missiles as realistic is a democrat characteristic in your mind. Strange spin.
