Trump talks of 'calm before the storm' after military meeting - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Aztec;52752470]From what I know of Trump it probably means literally nothing. He's just a senile old man.[/QUOTE] Yeah but he didn't make this statement privately, he announced it to the world. He's intentionally stoking tension through press conferences with countries already on edge, like NK.

[QUOTE=Tigster;52752657]Yeah but he didn't make this statement privately, he announced it to the world.

I think every speech he's given since he took up politics demonstrates this. I don't believe planning is an idea in his vocabulary. I would be more apt to believe he will wake up one day and start a conflict with north korea based on a random dream he had in the night than for him to strategize anything.

Let's just wait till nk attacks some country eh. I mean they already killed a us citizen.

You would have to be delusional to think otherwise. Kim knows that he would lose Chinese support if he ever outright attacked another country, that is why he insists on baiting other countries into attacking first so he can play the victim.

Examples like 9/11 and Peral Harbour, but they didn't have nukes.

I trust you'll be the first to sign up to go over to fight in north Korea if war breaks out.

[QUOTE=Reformed;52752973]What if you are wrong and they do attack, it won't be the first time the underdog attack's first. Examples like 9/11 and Peral Harbour, but they didn't have nukes.[/QUOTE] 9/11 was not caused by a nation it was caused by sect of extremists. Pearl Harbor was caused by imperial Japan who had already conquered huge tracts of land in China and many of the Pacific islands. Japan was not an underdog, they were a feared threat, and viewed as unconquerable on their own turf. This is why Truman decided to drop the nuclear bomb. To complete Operation Downfall, the plan devised before Japan surrendered, an estimate given to Secretary Stimson pointed to between 1.7 and 4 million American casualties to conquer Japan in a traditional invasion. Neither is comparable to current day North Korea.

Really hoping this embarrassment of the US gets a reality slap. I will refuse to be drafted into war against my will to live if this grumpy golfer drags us into some shitty pointless war.

Please hurry it up Mueller. The last thing we need is a illegitimate president getting us into a needless war.

That's what happens when TV star with no political experience leads a country. He puts cliffhangers in political debates/statements. He doesn't understand that people following his policies do not want to be entertained. They are there for the news, a word that Trump never looked up in dictionary. In XX century that would be unbelievable.

This man needs to be stopped.

I'm all for not saying shit about whatever it was they were talking about. But does he HAVE to say Oh it's the calm before the storm? Like, If all of the heads of NASA called in geologists and military leaders behind closed doors and then you asked them what it was about and they said It was the calm before the storm, Would you not be freaking the FUCK out?
