And you seriously think Trump wouldn't try to actually fit the bill for an existential crisis?

NORK just 'blinked'.
Crisis is over, we won.
Now, can we get back to worrying about Khloe's butt ??

How did we win? They didn't have ICBMs that can credibly hit us. We said we will never tolerate their having this capability. They acquired that capability any way. We threw a big tantrum and threatened hell and high water. They still have that capability. No hell, no high water.
Every step they got what they wanted. We focused world attention on our utter powerlessness to prevent it by throwing a tantrum. Now the whole world sees the threats of the alledge superpower is hollow and the superpower is utterly powerless.

And it looks like the cooler heads in China wound up convincing them both that a nuclear launch would be a bad idea. I think I suspected that this might happen, even if I did end up going chicken little a page or two back.

Seriously, I don't. As we say down here, he's all hat and no cattle. He's backed away from every single policy initiative he's posited when he saw that his bluster didn't turn the trick. Un, no doubt, has his number already. I think the DPRK's approach in this round of tension has not been aimed at driving a military confrontation, but rather showing the world exactly what sort of fool we have in the Oval Office. And they succeeded probably beyond their wildest dreams.

The Iranians are already hinting that they'll be next if the new sanctions go through.

But he is sticking to the position that the side without the Nazis are just as much to blame for Nazis killing a counterprotester as the side with the Nazis.

Well, sure. A man has to stand up for his principles.

He's wavered on that already.
He's only as good as the last person he's spoken with. Lord help us when he gets to talking to himself.

He's gone back and forth in the last couple of days. That speaks to a lack of will if nothing else. He's torn between saying the right thing and speaking his mind. That is a weakness. He'll back down on that too.
