all one big shit show

You are right! The world should stand idly by while they prepare nuclear weapons to attack surrounding countries.

Out of sight, out of mind..... Until they drop a bomb.

I understand this is a baiting comment, but I'll bite.

When I say playing ball, I mean the way in which Trump is matching the childish, aggressive posturing that KJ has always maintained.

I wasn't saying we shouldn't be prepared, but that Trump has no reason to make immature verbal trades with KJ. We are the superior power, and entertaining KJ with these squabbles makes us look weak.

I get your point now. I didn't take "play ball" as your explanation just now.

I'm not sure what the best course of action is as far as ignoring or interacting with the little guy in NK. I'd error on the side of strength, IMO that's what KJ understands.

This is pretty spot on.

The times where Trump does the best are the weeks where he straps duck tape over his mouth and lets his advisers do the heavy lifting. His week on vacation has been one of his best weeks, ironically enough...

If the NK doesn't back down...the UN will lose credibility, which can't happen. So NK has to back down.
I don't know how it's gonna play out, but NK has to back down.

the same "conservatives" who are pro nuclear option for SCOTUS judges and changing to 51 votes in senate no doubt... whatever happened to the "the founding fathers had it all figured out" brand of conservatives. just a pack of kids who were all for sharing until they got ahold of the toy, then it's theirs...

They tied their question to both 'if the leaders you support said so' as well as the topic of voter fraud. Those seem like two weaselly ways to manipulate a poll
What would happen if the question was "If Madam President Clinton and democrats in congress said it was necessary to postpone the 2020 elections to make them secure from Russian hacking attacks, would you support postponing the elections?"
