Apocalypse Wow.
The bad news is:
Texas is under water
North Korea is firing missiles over Japan
The good news is that the "turnout" was incredible for Trump's truck speech to hurricane victims...

"Apocalypse wow, what a turnout!"
It's worth noting that Nikki Haley is most assuredly not fucking amused with Kim:

And then there was this, about 15 minutes ago:
JAPAN, US LOOK TO CUT OFF NORTH
US should let China, Russia and Pakistan know they too will be subject to nuclear bombing if the USA is attacked with nukes from North Korea.
Fantastic idea. Let’s guarantee our own destruction.
RichardSymms, you should be so embarrassed! Your comment sounds like something assface would actually say.

Terrible idea.
When the US and Britain attempted to cut off oil supplies to Japan, the result was Pearl Harbor. Not a good precedent.
You really have to ask yourself – where the hell is all of the US’s so called high tech ability at secretly bringing all kinds of debilitating grief to an aggressor state and or their leaders. Even during WWII we ran sabotage raids on critical resources to both Germany and Japan – as they did us. Surely, we can come up with more effective and actual deterrents than simple minded reality TV rhetoric of dramatic hollow threats of “fire and fury” and or our ambassadors standing in front of our enemies saying “Yah, yah. Our President is crazier than yours.” – true as it may be.
While we have supposed doctrines regarding not assassinating other nations leaders who disagree with us – that does not include those that physically threaten our existence and those of our allies (that we also have doctrines to protect) and when an aggressor state launches missiles that are clear indications of their intentions and abilities. Really, taking pot-shots at us – (who knows whether the N. Korean launches were target misses or just air-borne “saber rattling” – quite literally acts of war. Our world has far greater problems than small minded men that somehow acquire the confidence of their nations populations, or even minor portions of them.
