I thought they smelled bad… on the outside?

Well, in that case, I suppose some somewhat incoherent ramblings are worth it.

You must be a blast at parties.

You called me an authoritarian, liar, cultist…

THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BUY THEM BIRTH CONTROL. THAT IS NOT EQUIVALENT TO "YOU CAN'T BUY BIRTH CONTROL."

No pretense. Fuck you. You want to call me an authoritarian cultist, I don't have to pretend to be civil, either.

Eh, fair enough. That's a good point. I guess I just prefer to see people held accountable for their fuck-ups, rather than held accountable for general fuckery. (No matter how deplorable the person is, apparently… what is happening to me?)

Also, for good measure:

No no no… I'm merely saying that taking NK as an opportunity to dash his head against the rocks seems… off. A weird fire to throw him on, considering how little an impact he has had on it up to this point.

Wow. Cool argument.

Put that way… you win some, you lose some..

I mean, he didn't crap on the sidewalk, he just walked in it.

So let our allies get nuked?

It's not bullshit, it's divisive (and you're on the wrong side) and both sides have merit (your side just less so).

So the message being "follow this agreement, or we'll kick your ass" has more substance when said by a Rhodes Scholar than an incompetent ass?

I've been talking about North Korea for years. It's been ramping up since well before then, but yeah, the previous year has been worrying because the tests are going better.

Except that the Agreed Framework was FILLED with North Korea pushing violations, and numerous close calls from a military standpoint. The main reason for its rejection was that it was basically agreed that North Korea wasn't holding up their end anyways, so why continue to aid them as they try and screw our allies.…

Not excusing his incompetence or ignorance… just saying that it seems a bit off to place this at Trump's feet as if this hasn't been building for 30 something years, and that it's Trump's fault that baby Jong is getting more and more hostile as the years go on. This isn't a new development.
