The Mouse That Roared...

…and the Mouth that roared; namely #45. So far it has only been words but what happens if it escalates? This isn’t two young boys in an adolescent pissing match it’s two grown paranoid adults waiting to see who blinks first. Kim Jung Un is the supreme leader of a small nation and can do whatever pleases him. #45 is the elected leader of a major nation who hasn’t a clue how to lead. Provoked, Kim could send off his missiles on a whim. #45 has to wait until Kim makes that fatal mistake before he can take action; and he is hoping that Kim does something stupid so he can show off how powerful he is. Kim is probably just insane enough to commit suicide to prove a point. #45 being the coward and bully he is would cringe in the corner under the same circumstances if he didn’t have the Military to hide behind.

So far, the Military is playing it cool as if they aren’t worried that Kim will make his move; but you can be sure our military has all their plans at the ready. With all the sanctions laid upon N. Korea, Kim has to keep up the pressure or look weak in the eyes of his people (who he cares little about). I’ve no doubt that any missiles launched toward Guam or any other ally could be shot down by our military. This puts me in mind of the Cuban Missile crisis in the early sixties; can you imagine what might have happened had JFK retaliated when one of our recon jets was shot down. Would #45 have such forethought and restraint? He can’t wait to send the launch codes because he loves war. Would he love it so much if he had to live in a devastated country that had been at war for years? #45 must feel very safe and warm away from all the devastation that could ensue. Hitler must have had similar thoughts tucked away in his bombproof bunker. And who will #45 blame if it all goes bad; certainly not himself.

China has explored ways to shut Kim down but seems incapable of curtailing the despot. If they really want to thwart Armageddon they should be prepared to shoot down Kim’s missiles should he launch them. He’s their problem child and they should be ready to slap him down if they have to.

Rats:

As in deserting a sinking ship. Several of #45’s Advisory Council have turned in their resignations because of #45’s handling of the violence in Charlottsville and his refusal to lay the blame where it belonged. Instead he blamed everyone for what happened and not the domestic terrorists and white supremacists. The only ones who defended him were David Duke, the former leader of the KKK and and Richard Spencer of a white supremacist group and other Neo-Nazis. Duke said they were there to fulfill the wishes of #45 and further his agenda. #45 has stated that his picks for the advisory council were not up to the job so he disbanded it himself. Another lie to soothe his shattered ego because those who resigned said it was for the reasons stated and not anything #45 did.

Who else is going to get tired of having mud thrown on their integrity and resign before it is too late. It’s impossible to defend a person whose own words makes him defenseless and demands you lie for him.

That’s my opinion and you’re stuck with it.
