Big Red Button

I’m old enough to remember when global nuclear war was just a tweet away…

South Korean President Moon Jae-in credited U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday for helping to spark the first inter-Korean talks in more than two years, and warned that Pyongyang would face stronger sanctions if provocations continued.

  1. Could it be that talking loudly and carrying a big button works better than mushy liberal appeasement when dealing with despotic tyrants?

  2. I’ve been wondering if the Little Fat Man Boy watches soooo much American media that he is genuinely worried that Trump IS crazier than him.

  3. Good one for Sure Kate. It is never a remembrance the; to quote You—which I do frequently—“They who know better than Us”.

  4. Meanwhile Sock Boy still thinks he’s fighting the last war. Apparently the countries invited were those who contributed troops to the UN for the last Korean War.
    China, Japan Criticize Canada’s Bid to Play North Korea Mediator
    Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang said Wednesday that an upcoming Canadian-organized meeting on North Korea would “not help” because it didn’t include key players, adding that it would “harm joint efforts to improve the situation on the peninsula.” Japan, South Korea, India and Sweden are among those invited. China and Russia — who supported the North Korea side during the war — were not.
    Meanwhile, a Japanese foreign ministry official questioned the need for including countries as distant as Colombia and Greece.

  5. Why would intelligent people be criticizing Trump for talking tough about having a bigger button than the crazy fat little creep holding the people of North Korea hostage? He’s got him running scared now, what could be so bad about that? Little Kimmie needs to be talked at not to and in a language that his tiny evil little mind can process.

  6. Huh? Just yesterday … I was reading “experts” proclaim that Trump was ordering a “bloody nose” … small attack on the noble, Communist State of North Korea

  7. “Moon Jae-In needs the winter Olympics to work…..”
    Absolutely correct. And Rocket Man knows it too. That’s why he will launch another missile while they are taking place. He’s safe from retaliation during that time.
    This whole “Korean Talks” is a joke. Rocket Man has no other objective than to stall, stall, stall, while sanctions just gradually slip away. HE DOESN’T CARE about the suffering of the N. Korean people so he’s really holding the high cards.
    The best we (and by we, I mean the rest of the world) can hope for is that ‘lil Kim explodes a nuclear device in the atmosphere. Yeah, I know. Radioactive fallout and all that but it will change the dynamic and pave the way for a military strike.
    Rocket Man needs to be GONE……. there will be war.

  8. Precisely.
    At best, this is a temporary peace.
    Moon Jae-In is pro-North Korean and has no intention of resolving this decades-long war. The ball is out of his hands, however, because North Korea IS crumbling and there is nothing Moon can do about it.

  9. “I was reading “experts” proclaim that Trump was ordering a “bloody nose”.”
    Can’t be done. It’s all or nothing. Do the “bloody nose” and Fatty Whitewalls opens up on Seoul with arty.
    Think about it. How is Kim Fat Un supposed to know it’s a limited attack instead of the balloon going up?
    No, it’s Go Big or Go Home.

  10. “The ball is out of his hands,”
    Yes it is.
    Either Fatty Whitewalls quits working on rockets and nukes, or Trump will have to act for the sake of U.S. security.
    It has very little to do with whether South Korea wants to go to war or not. One more atomic test and that’s it.

  11. It has everything to do with South Korea.
    Do you remember East and West Germany?
    I’m sure Moon does.
    His pro-North Korean sympathies aside, he doesn’t want to preside over a refugee-swamped country that forcibly reunified because of war but that IS what he is going to get. The Korean War was a can to be kicked down the road. That can’t happen anymore.

  12. “That can’t happen anymore.”
    You’re right, it can’t. However the South can’t unify with the North and become communist under a Stalinist regime that continues to develop nukes either.
    As I’d said earlier. Either Fatty Whitewalls quits his rocket/nuke programs or Trump will have to go big, because a “bloody nose” isn’t in cards.
    Kim will never be able to know for sure it’s a limited strike hitting him. He will decide to use his artillery because it will be a use “it or lose it” scenario from his standpoint.

  13. I think that President Trump cares about the USA first and only.
    If it comes to a choice between Americans dying or Koreans dying, the Koreans don’t have a chance.
    There is zero chance of assassinating Kim. He rarely comes out of his bunker and has a fanatical bodyguard.
    Kim also has several lookalikes as decoys.
    Did you know that Kim has commanded that all NorK college age males have to have the exact same haircut as he does?

    Yeah. Fortunately for any putative assassin their aren’t too many fat college age NorK males, hair notwithstanding.

  14. But my Professors at UC Berkeley said the USA is a WAR CRIMINAL!! … because the CIA used murder as a means of regime change. Just imagine the ANTIFA violence and vandalism … if Kim Dong ate a bad meal and died … ?

  15. There is a reason why North Korean soldiers are risking death to defect, Oz. Don’t rule out one of Kim’s generals offing him.
    Kenji, no one cares what leftist pansies think, so …

  16. Do you really think that Kim doesn’t have secret police watching his generals or that Kim’s cadre of body guards are the same as the hordes of NorK soldiers along the DMZ or rewarded the same?
    I don’t think you do.

  17. I seem to recall reading of Kim Yung Fat … purging … his military … and even familial “advisors” from time to time. Evidently to ward-off coups and/or send a “message” to anyone who might contemplate such

  18. Yes. He rules largely through fear but he can’t do much large scale purging if he needs them to fight and manage a war. The uncle that he recently executed had a reputation for being quite powerful in his own right.
    It can’t all be stick and no carrot though. One can never know if the fear alone might drive those closest to him to kill him out of shear fear itself. He must have to give some of them prestige and other superior compensation that raises them above other NorKs that they might have to forgo should Kim die.
    Also there is the well known Stockholm Syndrome effect. His body guards may see him as being essential to their own survival.
    Anyway all the Kims have been despots who have ruled through fear and not one of them have been assassinated since the ’50s. They must have some formula for success there.
