North Korea calls Trump a barking dog.

Thumbs intelligence says otherwise clown boy

[Ravenshire]

Man. Kim's comparing the Trumpster to dogs. How low can the fat little fucker get?


Poor dogs.

[Joods]

Yes, she's hot, isn't she:

No. She looks like a piece of plastic, slathered in paint. If I owned a mannequin looking like that, I'd throw it in the dumpster and hire, you know, a real human being.

That bright pink bullshit she was sporting gave me a damn headache.

Poor dogs.

 Koreans eat dogs.  Kim was saying that he's going to have some Trump rump roast for dinner.

Even though they want the buffer state I think regardless, even China's fed up with the Kim regime. Could be that China may even be looking to undermine Kim from within NOKO and replacing it with a puppet regime that they could keep on a much shorter leash. China has financial interests through trade with the U.S. and others to allow Kim to put it in jeopardy.

I agree that Beijing is tired of the bullshit too. I don't agree that it is a matter of any action by Trump, which was the crux of my disagreement. I think one reason China is so irritated with NK is that the NK diplomat tasked with handling Chinese relations was executed a couple of years ago, and then the murder last year by nerve gas of another of their NK contacts has them understanding that their own plans may be running aground. Trump, Obama, Bush, that doesn't matter.

I think their plans for puppeteering took an arrow to the knee, and as a result the Chinese are withdrawing support -- they are trying to remind Un how much he needs them.

Oh yeah, definitely Beijing is fed up with Kim. The kid's out of control and it's bringing pressure on China from its trading partners and from the U.S. to do something about its not so obedient puppet ally. But, from Clinton to GW and to Obama none was able to pressure China in the way that Trump has to toughen up on NOKO. Somehow I think that China will work with elements inside the NOKO government to undermine and overthrow Kim and maintain their hold over Pyong Yang. I have to think that Kim's days are numbered.

Kim's first major act when he assumed power was to purge the upper echelon he inherited from his father of anyone who had close working relationship with the Chinese.  Many of the purges were by gruesome execution, including that of his uncle, who had close relationship with the Chinese, were married to Kim's father's sister and were tasked by Kim's father to be Kim's mentor.

As a result the Chinese never invited Kim for a state visit, as they habitually do whenever a new person rises to leadership position in any of their neighbors.   This suggest the Chinese had lost the ability to influence things behind the scene and has to use crude evil eye to express their displeasure.

So while the Chinese may be fed up with Kim, It is also uncertain how much of any back channels they have to the power establoshement in North Korea remains intact.

Two Stooges pointing fingers at each other. While 45 has more checks on him because of our western concepts of checks on power, he is still delusional, and unstable. Un is a nutfuck that even China worries about. But the fact that 45 got into office is still disturbing to me.

It is pretty telling when you have 50 republican former intel agents all sign a letter warning how dangerous 45 would be in office.

[Jackalope]

Though he hasn't used the most eloquent speech available,

That's a polite way of saying the man talks like a blithering idiot.

Makes GWB look like a genius in comparison.

[Rev. Rye]

Well, it's nice to know he's willing to recognise toxic bluster in others. Now let's wait to see if he sees it in himself.

Oh fuck off, 45 is no JFK or even Reagan. <---- They deescalated and avoided WW3. 45 is like that asshole frat guy daring a drunk asshole into a bar fight. 45 has no goddamned fucking clue what mutual destruction is. If anything saves us from WW3 it wont be him, but his advisers if they pull their own heads out of their asses.

50 REPUBLICAN former law agents LAST YEAR signed a letter warning America what a 45 presidency could lead to. Now, I could give a shit less what you think of me being a liberal, go argue with the intel experts.

Kim's days are numbered? At what cost asshole? Millions of dead South Koreans? A global nuclear war?

Yea, China did say they'd do nothing if Un starts it, but you are a fool if you think 45 can be trusted to wait until then. Bush's and the GOP lied their way into Iraq and that tells me all I need to know about the fucked up GOP policy.

45 isn't a "tough guy" he is a fucking spoiled brat pretending, just like he has bluffed his way through his entire life.
