Playing Chicken With Armageddon: Goldman Ponders North Korea

You know, we'd be remiss if we didn't remind you that we've been warning about complacency on the North Korea issue for months. Specifically, we've marveled at the persistent inflows into Korean assets amid rising tensions. Recall that it was less than a month ago when we penned "Offshore Money Is Pouring Into This Country At The Fastest Pace In 5 Years," a post in which we observed that inflows into Korean equities were proceeding at a break-neck pace: That of course has helped propel the

      1. It’s truly strange and amazing to watch apologists take Trump’s Tourette’s outbursts and attempt to fashion a policy moniker around his words. It’s as if there’s a lunatic in an mental asylum claiming to be Napoleon who babbles about the use of diversionary tactics and those listening assume he’s referring to the September, 1805, Ulm Campaign, which took place during the War of the Third Coalition, where the French and Bavarians used a series of military maneuvers and battles to outflank and capture an Austrian army.

        Such grand creativity and illusion at work.

    1. Oliver – got a mirror? Look into it…now there’s the prick. How dare you make such a comment about Mr. Obama…and such a big word for such a little man to use. In one sentence you have told the world what kind of man you are. Mr. Obama is not a coward nor does he have a cowardly spirit (yeah, I had to look it up) but clearly you are a bully with a pea brain. You seriously believe that trump showed strength with his school-yard dare, and his fat arms crossed while sitting on his lard ass? He is a buffoon with no idea what the hell he is doing! You and your cult that follow that jackass like he is the King are the laughing stock of America. The good news is that at least some of your cult crowd has engaged their brain and realize that trump only cares about himself and his ratings – he thinks the whole thing is a game for a very bored rich man to play. You should find your way out while there is still time. Start with changing your TV channel!

  1. Politico yesterday(a rag you likely favor over some others):
    Trump’s North Korea strategy: A lot like Obama’s
    (Despite warning that U.S. patience with Kim Jong Un ‘is over,’ the president is so far relying on sanctions and diplomatic pressure to try to curb North Korea’s nuclear ambitions.)

  2. Goldman you are a piece of sh*t. Just a little more proof that we have two children playing with matches, it’s no problem yet. Give me a fu*king break.

    So does ANYONE trust SOMEONE who says “If we got nukes,why can’t we use them?” Saber rattling my ass this is not children with matches, it’s children with the MOST awesome power on the only inhabitable planet around. Nobody wins if this thing goes off the rails, one bullet and one dead DUKE started that sh*t storm.

    Our guy is just as dangerous as their guy at this point. Anyone have an XXXL straight jacket ?
