The narrative has to be that everything is awful and getting worse and the only solution is to vote in someone else.
But it could be better. /Grump
unorthodox in the sense many opposed the face to face meeting with a tyrant ...
Objective reality contradicts the media narrative and breaking through that is really, really hard.
Wow the MSM is having an orgasm on twitter ...
"How many more Cesar Sayoc’s are out there, waiting to strike?"
Basically what I'd like to achieve is get some people who are like ORANGE MAN BAD to be more like ORANGE MAN OK I GUESS
Cesar Sayoc drank the MAGA Kool-Aid and allegedly sent bombs to Trump's frequent targets for demonization. Trump airily denies the slightest responsibility. Republicans? I can't hear you?
Trump didn't change anything re: NK, though. He just boxed himself in by saying glowing things about a murderer and despot.
Cat, I disagree on NK. But whatever ...
As far as China, NK misbehaving causes China a lot of grief. NK flouts Beijing. I think they'd rather not have the Kims but they're even more worried about chaos on the peninsula or unification.
So I'm not sure how much you know about ICBMs, but there's this part call the reentry vehicle, or RV. It's the part that carries the nuke from orbit back down to the target, kind of like a space capsule.
It gets really, really hot on the way back in because it's going something like Mach 12.
If Trump were to assure Beijing that the US fully respects NK being in China's sphere of influence, then China can perform regime change.
It gets so hot that it creates a plasma ball around it, which blocks radio transmissions.
Cat, and stick your finger in the eye of SK and Japan, bad strategy....
Testing them is really hard, because at the point when it is in the most danger, you can't communicate with it.
I am aware, Atkins. It's why we can't talk to astronauts for about 90 seconds. It was during that period that Columbia disintegrated.
Cool. Ok, so you're with me. Anyhow, the US can test these things because we have satellites that can reach over the horizon to do line-of-sight radio transmission after the blackout ends. North Korea doesn't have satellites. Their only way to know whether or not their reentry vehicle works would be what is called an "all-up" test, i.e., an actual nuke.
So since NK has halted testing, they don't actually know whether their ICBMs work.
Not 100% anyway. And they aren't going to start a war on 'pretty sure'.
Trump no, but for sure they are part of the equation....beside I think we are dreaming the China would control NK. Now your letting China play with us ....
*If* NK did an all-up test the US would have no choice but to immediately strike.
But now that they have stopped testing, we can talk and try to deescalate.
I've joked about that. I expect their ICBMs to be about as accurate on reaching their destination as Malaysia Air flight 653.
They haven't crossed the point of no return.
I'd say they probably have a 2km CEP
Which is shit.
But, well, nukes.
NKs guarantee is that they can flatten Seoul almost instantly
They could do that without nukes.
Millions of lives held hostage
Exactly
Yep. So they can have regime security without nukes.
In fact their regime would be more secure without nukes.
No kidding
Because if they hadn't started talking with Trump the war would already have been over by now.
We were really, really close.
