Quote:What do you mean they’re ‘back’ to launching missiles. They never (apart from a few very brief pauses) STOPPED launching missiles. They launched them all through the Trump regime.this is a dishonest assessment. as on icbm's are our only concern. as everything n.korea launches is not a WMD or a system platform to deliver a wmd. they have a space program such as it is/launching spy satalites. also are developing very short range anti aircraft and ship missiles. it is the intermediate and long range missiles that concern us and out allies. launching missiles over Japanese cites are designed to unnerve and scare the hell out of the japanese people. these launches happened before trump sat down with kim and he stopped all missile firing for all of 2018 and did not resume to mid year 2019 with a series of short range 'defensive missiles/anti ship anti air craft. it wasn't till october when he started with the sub launch tests. he didn't start arming missiles with live war heads and blowing up targets (as he was just firing the rocket bodies into the sea previously) till biden took office, then on march 25 he fired one of these live war head missles of japan, which cause them to mobilize their navy... again if japan a member of the united nations goes to war with north korea, so do we, and if we are in china and russia back n korea. do you not see this as a problem?
Quote:You should keep up with the news. Russia made its move on Ukraine seven years ago. The current troop massing is typical posturing.nato didn't seem to think so.. seems to me you know more that the generals at nato..

Quote:While the US is the largest contributor to the UN, it’s simply wrong to say that it’s ‘almost all funded and staffed’ by the US. 78% of the UN budget comes from countries other than the US.call it 80% dude if you own 80% of any company it is more than fair to say you fund and staff that company... other wise tell elon his 60% share in tesla don't entitle him to be the ceo. do you guys even read the bs you are trying to convince me to swallow?

and if you didn't know both of those countries enjoy protections afforded to them by the united nations which is almost all usa funded and staffed. IE we are endanger of fighting another world war if this situation that cropped up this year under biden is not resolved quickly. yet the news barely mentions any of this.. if you need me to explain this deeper i can.. we defend Taiwan, japan, the Ukraine, then china-russia launches say cruise missiles from ships satellites (that is a thing and the primary reason for the space force/to kill those satellites before they can be deployed.) to hit every single major city for no other reason that to bloody the nose of American and demoralize the population as a means to send the message this war America is not protected by the Atlantic or pacific. I can hear the snow flakes begging for us to surrender in mandarin now..
1. Every single time Trump dealt with Kim, Kim broke his promises. Trump’s bloviating and tough-guy talk did nothing to alter Kim’s actions or policies.
2. If ICBM are all that concern you, why are you so worried about NK’s single missile launch since Biden took office? Kim hasn’t launched an ICBM since 2017.
3. Did you miss the whole Russia-invades-Crimea thing? It got quite a lot of press coverage, as I recall.
4. You seem to have misread what I wrote. The US does NOT fund 78% of the UN, other countries do. The US contributes 22%.
5. No, you didn’t. Since you blame Biden for the current unrest, I wanted to know if you blamed Trump for the unrest on his watch. And threatening war ‘on your shores’, that has a very specific meaning, which you dodged. And very clumsily.
