While Trump golfs and has toddler temper tantrums N. Korea launches missiles..

[HipChick]

I guess he is too stuck on his imaginary world to comment on a real threat...


North Korea fired four ballistic missiles into the sea off Japan's northwest early on Monday, South Korean and Japanese officials said, days after it promised retaliation over U.S.-South Korea military drills it sees as a preparation for war.

South Korea's military said the missiles were unlikely to have been intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM), which can reach the United States. The missiles flew on average 1,000 km (620 miles) and reached a height of 260 km (160 miles).

Some of the missiles landed in waters as close as 300 km (190 miles) from Japan's northwest coast, Japan's Defence Minister Tomomi Inada said in Tokyo.

1. Yes, I wondered

what would happen if, during his frenzied anger, we really NEEDED him to be president. Guess we'd be shit out of luck. There are plenty of enemies of the US who see what is happening here and probably think it is prime time to catch us off our guard.

Disturbing thoughts ...

2. Wrong kind of brown people for Trump to worry about. No Trump hotels in Seoul

[Submariner]

3. This is the kind of activity Trump may try to make a false flag operation

to change the media conversation from him being a potential traitor and Putin's bitch, to STFU we are at war...all patriots fall in line. Wag the dog.

4. He didn't even have Japanese Prime Minister Abe with him at

Mar-A-Loco this time to help him make sense of it all and issue an intelligent response. Sad!.

5. Official US response:

“The United States strongly condemns the DPRK’s ballistic missile launches tonight, which violate UN security council resolutions explicitly prohibiting North Korea’s launches using ballistic missile technology,” the State Department’s acting spokesman, Mark Toner, said in a statement.

He added: “We remain prepared – and will continue to take steps to increase our readiness – to defend ourselves and our allies from attack, and are prepared to use the full range of capabilities at our disposal against this growing threat.”

6. Consider that we might be better off with him NOT commenting.

"N Korea launches missile that can't even reach past Japan! Pathetic! Losers!"

Yep, that would do wonders for stability in that region.

7. These missiles definitely have the range needed to hit Seoul

8. He's going to get ideas

from N. Korea and start shooting missiles off the coast of Newfoundland soon.
