In escalating war of words leader of North Korea calls Donald Trump a “mentally deranged U.S. dotard.”

Courtesy of New York Times:  

Responding directly for the first time to President Trump’s threat at the United Nations to destroy nuclear-armed North Korea, its leader called Mr. Trump a “mentally deranged U.S. dotard” on Friday and vowed the “highest level of hard-line countermeasure in history.” 

The rejoinder by the leader, Kim Jong-un, who is about half as old as Mr. Trump, 71, added to the lexicon of Mr. Kim’s choice of insults in the escalating bombast between the two. 

“A frightened dog barks louder,” Mr. Kim said in a statement, referring to Mr. Trump’s speech at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday in which he vowed to annihilate North Korea if the United States were forced to defend itself or its allies against it. 

“He is surely a rogue and a gangster fond of playing with fire, rather than a politician,” Mr. Kim said.

Damn I hate to agree with a deranged North Korean lunatic, but that is a fairly accurate description.

Of course the problem is that we expect this sort of name calling and childishness from the life size Weeble dominating the people of North Korea, but now we have our own man-child egging him on by flinging his own preschool level epithets, like Rocket man, in Jong-un's direction.

And all of this might simply be good theater, if it did not potentially devastating real life consequences.

Courtesy of US News: 

Hawaiian officials are reportedly preparing for the possibility of a nuclear attack, and they're doing it quietly. 

The Honolulu Civil Beat reported earlier this week that Hawaii lawmakers attended a closed-door briefing Tuesday by emergency officials on the topic of such an attack from North Korea. Officials reportedly viewed slides on the potential fallout from a nuclear attack that included information on where an attack might target and the fatalities that could result.

That's right we now have American citizens now terrified of being decimated by a nuclear bomb.

Only nine short months ago there was no such fear.

And there are no signs that the rhetoric will come to an end any time soon.
In actuality Trump is simply increasing sanctions: 

President Trump ordered a widening of American sanctions on North Korea on Thursday to further choke off its trade with the outside world, in what some experts described as perhaps the most sweeping set of punitive economic measures enacted by the United States in many years. 

A new executive order signed by Mr. Trump aimed to cut North Korea out of the international banking system while targeting its major industries and shipping. The move suggested that for now, at least, the president was still committed to applying economic pressure rather than military action, despite his vow this week to “totally destroy North Korea” if the United States were forced to defend itself or its allies.

That may have some effect if others were not trying to remove themselves from the line of fire if this thing escalates any further.

Courtesy of CNBC: 

South Korea on Thursday approved $8 million worth of humanitarian aid for Pyongyang in a move likely to muddle international efforts aimed at isolating the nuclear-armed state. 

The package will include $4.5 million in nutritional products for children and pregnant women through the World Food Program in addition to $3.5 million worth of vaccines and medicinal treatments via UNICEF. The timing of the delivery has yet to be confirmed.

The news indicates South Korean President Moon Jae-In isn't backing down from direct engagement with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un even as other major players in the long-simmering crisis push for a tougher approach.

Yeah, that is because South Korea realizes that the minute somebody decides to call the other's bluff it is their asses which get fried first.

There is a reason that voters are supposed to choose the most sober, experienced, and mentally stable candidate to the President of the United States.

    "...There is a reason that voters are supposed to choose the most sober, experienced, and mentally stable candidate to the President of the United States."

    Unfortunately, a huge number of people here didn't seem to understand that when they voted.

    "“A gun was fired, the noise was deafening, absolutely terrifying and the guns were fired one after the other. The musicians just disappeared each time the guns were fired into them. Their bodies were blown to bits, totally destroyed, blood and bits flying everywhere.

    “And then after that military tanks moved in and they ran over the bits on the ground where the remains lay. The tracks of the tanks were run over the remains and blood repeatedly, over and over again and made to grind the remains, to smash them into the ground until there was nothing left.”"

      And with Trump it is just 'Reality TV'.
      The world is at such a disadvantageous with this clown as POTUS. NK is an enormous problem. Trump has no idea how to deal with it. Does he think the obliteration and suffering of millions of innocents is a solution he can pursue?

    2. That's what Trump wants. He envies Kim Jong-Un's lifestyle. He wants military parades, to be able to execute his enemies on a whim and to have hot and cold running sex slaves bow to his every whim.

      Trump wants to BE an authoritarian dictator. His cabinet of oligarchs are well on their way to living that lifestyle on the taxpayer's dime.

  8. If Young Gun offered to let Drumpf build a Young Gun Drumpf tower in NK, Drumpf would claim Kim is the best dictator ever and they'd be fast- or at least fat- friends.

    It's not a word I had familiarity with but it is perfect for describing the orange shit gibbon. He is a dotard supported by dotards. The entire plebeian republican party is a bunch of dotards. In their world of shitiness, Sarah Palin is a rock star. You have millions of uneducated low IQ retards blaming others for their own limitations. They voted for a child who is trying to take away any affordable non precondition health care and they think it's great as long as he bullies, name calls, and threatens brown folks and anyone who threatens his eminence.
    When their life functions end, they will cease being idiots. They won't exist at all. There is light at the end of the tunnel. The trash will have been taken out.

    We should shun them, starve them out and cut off all of their ability to make any money. If SoKo wants to help them out then well, it's going to cost them a lot of good will from America.

    Perhaps we just save the billions we spend on the DMZ and let them fight their own 70-year old war against their northern neighbor.

    Why are we even still there again, on the DMZ?

    I see this as a prime opportunity to step.the.fuck.away.

    It's interesting because China could literally stop him in seconds, AND China NEEDS the USA.

    Kim Jong Un went to boarding school in Switzerland; I expect he knows more languages than Melania (and absolutely more than Trump). He's not wrong in his assessment of Trump.
