General / Off-Topic The tensions US / North Korea

[Minonian]

Now Trump dissociates itself from the nancy rioting. I think it was a little too late, and unconvincing.

@ jenner! Al Yankovic is classic.

Things look to be cooling off.

from BBC:

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un reviewed plans to fire missiles towards the US Pacific territory of Guam but will hold off, state media said.

There are limits. The insignia should be banned, as in London, the islamist preachers of hate

The limit I draw the line at are demonstrable slander/libel and physical assault. I'll neither enforce, nor condone the enforcement of, any form of censorship that steps beyond that.

Telling people they can't preach their ignorant bigotry and parade their insignia around is as offensive to me as the ideologies of these groups themselves. The whole "I may not like what you have to say, but I'll fight for your right to say it" thing carries weight with me.

So the debate turns towards waving undesirable flags. No complaints about the same people arriving in groups, dressed in full combat gear and carrying fully automatic assault rifles.

Yep Ole Kimmy bottled it

Yep Ole Kimmy bottled it

Probably after China publicly stated, if Kim fires first; he is on his own.

Just like the little mouthy guy; with bigger mates standing behind him. Suddenly becomes all quite and timid, when he finds himself abandoned.

The Guardian is playing a clip from a 1947 movie about Fascism arriving in the US. It's extremely relevant, and hasn't aged at all.

I`m not an expert but do you guys think any of those NK missiles could even reach Guam with all advanced USA monitoring and defenses all around?

islamist preachers in the streets must be banned in the public space

And also since China temporarily suspended its imports from North Korea

Not sure how much this affected the story, but it probably helped.

If things get hot in the Pacific, and the US moves big resources there, they might just decide to clear out some of those fake manmade Chinese islands they've been setting up.

It's a good question. I don't know anything about the range or accuracy of the NK missiles. I don't know if anyone does outside of the Pentagon.

He just gave a press conference and reverted to Saturdays explanation - there were some "fine people" among the neo-N, and the "alt-left" are somewhat to blame.

"Both sides"

He'll gleefully denounce everything except for Putin, white supremacism, Neo-Ns, and the KKK.

This is becoming ridiculous.

EDIT: Trump said, of the dead womans mother, "She said the nicest things about me."

America, please do something.

Yes. I can't believe what I'm watching. Shameful.

Further proof that what he says when forced to read the teleprompter doesn't reflect anything happening in his own head. The team behind Trump can't make him stay on message. I wonder how long they are going to let this continue.

Best Trump press conference so far. This was the good old Trump from the campaign trail.

Those scumbag journalists trying to label every nationalist or right-wing as murderous thugs got shut down hard.

The right-wing had permission to be there. The commies/anarchists and SJWs did not. The police did not do their job, and it ended in a tragedy.

You're defending guys with swastikas?!? Aren't you ashamed?

Every right-wing protester is carrying swastikas now?

Trump condemned in strong words both NA-(that word)S plus the KKK.
