So not all Americans are "us." Duly noted.

I thought the speech was a welcome change from the diplomatic language and its attendant nonsense that got to these points in the first place.

Post: #48RE: NK Launches Ballistic Missile, Japan Tells Citizens
If the United States is forced to defend itself or its allies, “we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea,” President Trump told the UN today.

No timetable but that's pretty damn specific. Do you consider that a line in the sand?

Post: #49RE: NK Launches Ballistic Missile, Japan Tells Citizens
Actually I will give Trump credit for this quote - it's a heck of a sound byte. Also from his UN speech. He gets even more props if he began to sing some Elton John...

“Rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and his regime.”

NK has launched a few missiles since Trump's 'red line' but not in the direction of Guam.


IF you take his statement about defending ourselves or allies, that would imply it was a response to an attack from NK. Far as I know NK hasn't attacked anybody. - It is a pretty clear line in the sand though. I seriously doubt that NK or others take Trump's words as lightly as they did Obama's.

If they take his words seriously at all. Most just want to see what he says next for a good laugh. I don't think anyone is paying attention to him anymore.

Link?

I see the talking points were finally sent out.

I agree.

They feel threatened and offended, scared and lost.

Naw, I want several federal judges tossed in.

Not true, immediately after Trump was finished Martha RedAss came out and didn't look thrilled and ? Moron, er, Moran said that destroying NK would be a war crimes action.

He called out "Radical Islamic Terrorism", threatened to "totally destroy" NK, questioned other country's sense of sovereignty and desire to protect their citizens, complimented Russia and China on their vote against NK, and basically told the rest of the world to get used to an "America first" foreign policy.

It's much more prudent to just not pay attention when the president embarrasses us on the national stage yet again.

You're looking at a guy in that picture?

Oh wait, never mind.

I'm proud that he made it clear that America would come first.

I've waited my entire adult life to have an American leader share that. I appreciate him for saying it.
