Right? Like, this level of dont-give-a-fuck-edness takes an unholy amount of energy and thought.

In the scorched future landscape, people will have to settle for an AVAC mechanic to be their hernia surgeon, or they’ll have to do it themselves, 127 hours style.

OT:

The mans the frickin’ Secretary of State. Putting out a statement when N Korea has done a madness again should be like checking your emails in the morning for him.

It is truly amazing the level at which Rexy does not want to do this job. You’re a true maverick and American hero John McCain. You confirmed this shitheel.

Tillerson—the flunky of flunkies for that just right kakistocracy.

Oftentimes, a low key response is a good response to NK issues.
But this isn’t a low key response. This is the kind of non-response designed actually to freak everybody else out. South Korea, China, Japan and everyone else in the region needs to know that the US is paying attention and committed to not letting…

Every Trump voter and their fuckin spawn should be the first ones used as cannon fodder in the coming Great Tremendous War The Best War.

I think ignoring Little Kimmy’s tantrums might be a good strategy. Unfortunately I doubt any of the village idiots currently ruining the country has the foresight to develop a strategy.

Is this better or worse than them making a real statement?

Even if they don’t attack us per se-South Korea is our ally and we would be involved. It’s a mess and “no comment” is not helping.

The whole mindset of “he does a good job at one thing, so it follows that he would do well at a completely different thing” baffles me a bit.

As I said in another comment, all that matters is Russia. That’s why he was hired. He does not know or care what’s going on in any other part of the world. That’s not why he was chosen. He got the job because of his connections to Putin.

Does North Korea have significant oil and gas deposits? Asking for the Secretary a friend.

This is a seriously impressive level of don’t-give-a-fuck.

We’re talking about North Korea, here. Maybe Alaska should be worried. Maybe.

This sounds... ominous.

Poor guy. He just wants to give his friends a big fat tax cut and get all that sweet Iraqi oil, but now someone wants to start a nuclear war on his watch.

Certainly Tillerson’s previous statement in March that “all options are on the table” when it comes to North Korea didn’t help matters.
