The Donald roars again. Now that Korea seems to count as a race lost - Venezuela maybe? However, the rest of the Donaldinarium does not seem to like the idea.

Trump's just playing to the rubes; he found a new "flip" to play out and he's trying to ride it for all its worth; maybe he thinks it will give him political leverage for whatever course of action he may be considering regarding his Russian problems, his flawed leadership problems, his lack of cohesive foreign and domestic policy problems, his dissension with in his own nominal party, his lack of focused policies overall; at the very least it gives him another 'bright, shiny object' to dangle before the eyes of his true believers and hold them in dazzle thrall...
Someone made the claim of Trump being an Obie Wan Kenobi; he is more akin to the duplicitous sap who, while hiding behind his curtain, was the "Great and Powerful Oz", but once the curtain is removed is little more than huckster/snake-oil salesman, Professor Marvel. Sorry, all you Trumpettes out there: The Chump is not going to give you brains or hearts or courage; he's just gonna take all that from you and leave you behind as he whisks away in a balloon filled with his own hot air... <O>

Serves as a great distraction from domestic issues.

I'm sort of disappointed that the press hasn't reported hearing Panzerlied
being sung in Charlottesville this weekend.

I bet nothing that happened in Virginia bothered you either! You disappointed you couldn't join the Trump supporters marching with a torch in their hands? I bet old Dukes is disappointed you couldn't make the trip,lol

"Don't know if this has been discussed"
According to a Swedish news paper, there's a plot inside the White House to get rid of President Trump. (Politically that is) Markus |

Personally, I'd rather that we just divide up the country peacefully. Let the democrat side have their rainbow flags and transgender troopers, and let the other side keep a statue of Robert E. Lee if they want. Retire the USA, and make two new joints with new names.

I think neutrality will eventually become impossible to maintain just as it did in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars.

Divided I think the radicals on both sides would put their "flags" back in the closet for another decade or so at least. Of course someday the democrat territory would become another Venezuela. I'm not sure what the other territory would become, Argentina? We'd have to keep an eye on Canada too since they've taken to placing troops on their border because I guess they don't like "illegal" immigrants so much. They may want revenge for that ill fated 1812 invasion still too.

They already got their revenge when they burned down Washington DC, so we're even in that regard although they certainly could have done a better job of it and saved us much trouble...

I wouldn't completely rule out the effect of China's message to both NK and the US.
