In the late 50s some people could afford shelters. The rest of us had daily drills on how to get under our desks.
He crossed the red line that he created. North Korea called his bluff and has threatened to shoot missiles at Guam.
Now he either needs to stand down and lose even more credibility with the world or take some kind of drastic action against North Korea. He has boxed himself into a corner.
I have a serious problem with a draft dodging POS running our military.
It is always the chicken hawk that squawks the loudest and puts everyone in greater danger.
It makes you wonder if he would talk that S88T if Eric, Don Jr, Jared and Ivanka were at the locations.
"Instead of threats & over-the-top rhetoric, we need to pursue a smart, long-term strategy to address these growing threats,” - Ruben Gallego
"some speculate for the North Korean leadership, the fates of Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi are sufficient reasons for them to refuse to give up their nuclear arsenals. In the cases of Saddam and Gaddafi, both were overthrown after they gave up their nuclear weapons programs.

First time in history we end up with a 'toddler in chief' that is in charge. That is cause for concern.
What's amazing is to what the euphoria is the faces of those standing behind him as he rants.

I'm struggling to keep up with all this. Is Trump really planning to attack North Korea if they do another nuclear test? Is it seriously being considered as a possibility? Or is it just sabre rattling? And is this type of brinksmanship the best approach to foreign policy?

The United States is being threatened and bullied by North Korea, why is it that our government is..still playing patty cake about Russia instead of concentrating on the REAL danger at hand?
