It’s really difficult for me to get worked up about the idea of foreign threats any more.

This crowd doesn’t mind if a few hundred thousand Americans get irradiated. Serve us right for being ‘arrogant and dismissive’.

Don't care? You are far too nice. I think they wouldn't mind seeing their own country get nuked. I believe they (the rats) are really Evil, with a capital E.

What difference does it make?

Do people realize Hilary’s disgusting outburst was the perfect expression of liberal nihilism.

Nothing matters, so long as they are in power.

Exactly, and if our allies like Taiwan and South Korea get fried, well these leftists think those countries are too democratic and too free market anyways

At the least she is being honest for a change.

They will do nothing, just like before.

They would thoroughly enjoy watching South Korea attacked for hours from the W.Hut situation room.

Inwardly they’re PROUD of it.

Exactly. Were these liberals on the Titanic 100 years ago they’d have commented on the quality of the music as people drowned all about them.
