WMD 2 the sequel

[florige]

Honestly, I don't know why they don't just wait until they have a military parade where Kim is present and bomb the out of it.

I don't understand why we can't send James Bond type of hit man over there to take out Kim. There is no need for war when the little fat guy over there is the main problem.

Why not? Trump is treating this like a reality TV show and he is the President.

"Why did it start this week?

The reason it appears to have started this week is because of this article from The Washington Post from Tuesday.

That article described a confidential assessment by one U.S. intelligence agency, which reportedly concluded that North Korea had miniaturized a nuclear device and could now fit one onto a missile.

That Washington Post report came out on Tuesday.

Since then, the president has been making these incredibly over-the-top, bellicose, alliterative, overt threats against North Korea.

… These last three days of, literally, nuclear brinksmanship, as far as we can tell, the proximate cause of this – what set it all off – was one newspaper report of a single agency’s reported conclusion,

which has not been bolstered by other sources, that doesn’t reflect any sort of formal, stated view of the intelligence community.

As Maddow also pointed out later in the segment, the same finding that Trump is freaking out about this week was reported

back in 2013 by the same agency – and they got it wrong then.“

The Obama administration didn’t take it and run with it,” Maddow said.

“This time, the ratio between the size of that catalyst and the size of the administration’s response is a very, very, very, very, very large ratio.”

The difference between then and now, of course, is that the United States is currently run by an erratic, reckless man

who loses his cool over just about everything, from public opinion polls to critical news coverage."

I'm sure Trash saw an opportunity, a pretext to blow up the Korea angle to deflect from the multiple nooses tightening around Trash and his posse of Pootin fellators.

The kicker? North didn't have a single nuke on Monday. Less than 24 hours later they were inundated with nukes. They had 'em comin' out their asses. Everywhere they looked there was a nuke.

I ain't ever seen anything like it.

Actually the same thing happened during the Obama administration. Only difference back then was the commander in chief didn't have a meltdown as soon as he saw it in the Post.

The former would throw money at them

Except he didn't.

[ducks]

Clinton did
Former did to iran

[Pavlov]

Clinton did

As did Bush. Give it time, Trump or whoever replaces him will too.

Former did to iran

That was their money.

Normally I would say nothing is going to happen on any of these fronts as usual, but now we have a true idiot as President.

[ducks]

He has paid more taxes created more jobs
Paid more money to people then you

[Pavlov]

He has paid more taxes created more jobs
Paid more money to people then you

He's also ripped way more people off than I have. Declared bankruptcy more than I have. Made more stupid public statements than I have. Knelt to Putin more than I have.

[ducks]

He never broke laws with his bankruptcy

[ducks]

You make several stupid statements on public Internet forum

[ducks]

Never bowed to Putin
Russia wanted Clinton to win
DNC hack was inside job not Russia

[Pavlov]

He never broke laws with his bankruptcy

It's bankruptcy.

You make several stupid statements on public Internet forum

Not the same.

Never bowed to Putin

Just bowed today to thank him for expelling Americans from Russia.

Russia wanted Clinton to win

They tought Clinton would win and thought their actions would weaken her.

DNC hack was inside job not Russia

Then Trump should stop bowing to Putin.

Lol China just said they will stay neutral as long as US doesnt strike NK first

There goes your pre emptive strike plans

Lol China just said they will stay neutral as long as US doesnt strike NK first

There goes your pre emptive strike plans

They are not neutral.

And they won't do anything. If NK test fires a test missile that lands close to Guam, and the US takes out something in NK, China will do nothing.

Emoticon on its side laughing.
You would be lost without this little guy.

US Allies Warn NKorea Against Firing Missiles at Guam

I would like you to explain Trumps newest remarks.

Or answer the question:

Are Trumps statements on the forced reduction of Embassy staff in Moscow consistent with my theory?

But then, predicting what Trump will, or won't do is sort of a mugs game. He never fails to do the stupidest possible, just when you think he can't be dumber.

The thing about a good theory though, it that it both explains facts, and you can make testable predictions.

Fact 1:
Russia attempted to hack our electoral process through a multi-pronged attack.

Fact 2:
Donald "look how big my inauguration crowd was" Trump has done nothing but deny this even happened. He has shown no willingness whatsoever to hold Russia to account for anything.

Fact 3:
Donald Trump has a pattern of criticizing anyone, and everyone at the drop of a hat. Allies, enemies, courts, free press, nothing has escaped his remarks and twitter feed, except for ONE/(two) thing(s), and that is Russia/Putin

Fact 4:
Russian efforts appeared designed to support Trump

Fact 5:
Trump directly called on Russia publicly to support his efforts to get elected.

Fact 6:
Donald Trump has gone out of his way to meet and talk with Putin privately in person, with no American witnesses. This is the only leader with which he has acted in this manner.

Theory:
Donald Trump has been compromised in some way.

Either he directly owes them money, or they have evidence of some kind of him breaking the law or doing something he does not want others to know about. This theory explains those facts, and is fully consistent with observed reality.

Prediction:
Donald Trump will take no action personally, nor will he criticize Russia or Putin in any way in regards to the Russian attack on our elections. He may allow his underlings to do some minor, inconsequential stuff, and if forced to do anything by Congress will drag his feet, if not outright attempt to veto any sanctions.


The way to falsify the theory:
1) Trump criticizes Putin/Russia (good)
2) Trump orders/takes action that materially harms Russian interests (definitive)

Bull conspiracy theories fail very often because either: they cannot be falsified, or they directly conflict with observed reality. This theory can be falsified, and does not conflict with what we know as fact.

Donald Trump is unpredictable except for Russia.

He may be stupid enough to fire Mueller if Mueller starts asking questions that will expose how he has been compromised.

If he does so, he will be impeached. The Republican party will have almost no choice at that point. Congress will find their spine, because they want to be re-elected, and Trump will have gone too far for all but the most jaded hacks.

"Trump warns of 'dangerous low' in Russia relations"
See Fact #3
http://edition.cnn.com/2017/08/03/po...tin-sanctions/

This statement is consistent with the theory and was predicted by it.
---------------------------------------

The veto-proof sanctions bill on Russia from Congress forced him to do something. His signing statement says that his administration will ignore or attempt to bypass as much as possible.
http://www.marke ch.com/story/tex...ill-2017-08-02

This action is consistent with the theory, and predicted by it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trumps newest Russian statements go out of their way to be obsequious and servile.

“As far as I'm concerned I'm very thankful that he let go of a large number of people because now we have a smaller payroll,” Trump said at a briefing at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey on Thursday.

"We'll save a lot of money," he added.
