1. Oh shit

[Dustlawyer]

17. Oh shit! is right! He saw his numbers go up, if a little bit of missiles are good,

a whole lot will be "The Greatest!"

[Rollo]

2. Is Trump letting the military call the shots?

[LittleBlue]

8. I'd much rather they call the shots tbh

Rather than Trump himself or Ivanka or Jared

[mopinko]

32. yes he is.

this is exactly the kind of power vacuum i knew we would fall into.
dawg save us all.

[dawg]

37. I'm trying my best.

[Rollo]

3. Subtitle: America Unhinged

[roamer65]

4. These fuckers had better not disturb that ceasefire.

...and I am talking both sides.

[newblewtoo]

5. This could get very real

damn fast. Bump

[Heartstrings]

6. So we have Putin/Assad knocking on the front door because of a dick move

and N Korea knocking on our back because of another...

MAGA?

[Salviati]

29. Make America Glow Atomicly?

[Norbert9]

7. I knew I needed to get more Ramen noodle at the store this week

[maryellen99]

9. I'm honestly afraid

To any Du'ers who are in or have family in SK please stay safe.

[roamer65]

10. I think we can safely assume the mtg with Chinese president did not go well today.

[Nevernose]

12. For all we know, it was Xi's idea

I remain convinced that the Syrian airbase bombing was Putin's idea.

[argyl]

34. I think the Syrian air base bombing was Putin's idea also.

A tactic to give his Tool a bump in the polls.
Dizzy Donald could never come up with this on his own.

[smirkymonkey]

11. Great.

I knew this dickhead would eventually pull something like this. He's desperate to look tough and to take the attention away from all his other failures.

[Initech]

13. These motherfuckers have gone too far.

You can't declare war on an authoritarian regime when you are authoritarian yourself.

[NightWatcher]

14. He was praised for lobbing Tomahawks at an empty airfield in Syria, how hard could North Korea be?

And everyone in South Korea's sphincter just slammed shut.

Maybe we should send Dennis Rodman back to KJU and try to mellow him out.

[Equinox Moon]

15. The Alpha-Aggressor is flexing

Not good.

[LakeArenal]

16. Country Joe and the Fish comes to mind....

Yeah, come on all of you, big strong men, Uncle Sam needs your help again
He's got himself in a terrible jam, way down yonde rnear Vietnam
So put down your books and pick up a gun, we're gonna have a whole lotta fun.

And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn, next stop is Vietnam
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on generals, let's move fast, your big chance has come at last
Gotta go out and get those reds, the only good commie is one that's dead
And you know that peace can only be won when we've blown 'em all to kingdom come.

And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn, next stop is Vietnam
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on Wall Street, don't move slow, why man, this is war a-go-go
There's plenty good money to be made by supplying the Army with the tools of the trade
Just hope and pray that if they drop the bomb, they drop it on the Viet Cong.

And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn, next stop is Vietnam
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

Well, come on mothers throughout the land, pack your boys off to Vietnam
Come on fathers, don't hesitate, send 'em off before it's too late
Be the first one on your block to have your boy come home in a box.

And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn, next stop is Vietnam
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates
Well there ain't no time to wonder why
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.

[Ilsa]

24. I remember this one. Startling. Brazen. Wonderful. nt

[briv1016]

18. Wag that dog.

He's clear taunting Un, trying to get him to strike first so he can "retaliate."

[aeromanKC]

19. As a Veteran I will say

I am VERY happy that my family has NO ONE in Trumps Army!!!!

Sorry in advance to all those families that will lose loved ones under Trump.

[GetRidOfThem]

20. My biggest fear is coming true...

He will strike militarily in order to cover up his domestic weakness. I thought the Syria strike was legitimate, but I admit now that the decision-making behind this was all subjective, not driven by objective advice. I was one of the early supporters of the strike, now I see the pattern is not what I thought, the "success" of Syria is feeding this mad man's fantasies. We are in for a whole lot of trouble. The world is about to go insane.

I am German. My father was a German kid in the Hitlerjugend. It was the trend. He was 16 in 1942. His parents did not approve. Afterwards he felt the deep guilt of Germany, what it had done, and that America was the savior of the West. We came here, and dragged my entire family here, because he felt this could never happen here. Compared to Germans, Americans were too "relaxed". As I grew up here I felt he was a loving, idealistic fool. It can happen anywhere.

[luvMIdog]

21. He's going to get everyone killed. WHY the fuck is that man in office?!!!

[egduj]

22. I hope he doesn't attack the wrong Korea.

[napi21]

30. No need to worry about that, our Navy is in control of that and they know what they're doing.

Thank God, I think the Con is letting the military generals control their missions. I guess the Con issues an order and the Generals determine the how. That's what I believe happened with Syria. He said "I want to send a message that Assad can't get away with gassing people but I don't want civilians hurt. That's why you saw the bombing centralized on that one military base.

[OnlinePoker]

23. I'm curious if you all were of the same opinion when Obama did it in 2010

Or when he sent a second carrier group to the waters off China in 2014?

[spanone]

26. NO. Obama is sane.

[lastlib]

27. (Frankly, I don't give a rat's wazoo what Obama did seven years ago.....

This is now. It's a much more dangerous situation, and we have a pyromaniac running loose with a gasoline tanker.)

[jmg257]

25. Good. Korea is testing missiles so they can reach the US with nukes.

They can already devastate our allies in the area.

Lets get another group in the area and some SSN subs too.

[retrowire]

28. AMERICA

FUCK YEAAAAH

COMING AGAIN TO SAVE THE MOTHERFUCKING DAY YEAH

/S

[DonCoquixote]

31. To all you people that praise the Syrian strike

I say this is what you get. It looks like we could get China and the Russians in war, a war most of you are too damned old to be sent to die in, not that ti matters, as unlike ISIS, this war can land in the backyards of America. Damn everyone that gave Trump the presidential stamp he so wanted because he shot a few rockets. The only consolation is that if things go to hell, Vlad might find out the Chinese are really not as war, to him as he thinks, after all, they have half our population and a lot of oil.

[mvd]

33. I'm one that did not, and I agree

Look, America can't do everything. It's perpetual war if we attack every time someone does something bad. It came out again that civilians lost their lives. WWIII may not be far behind with Trump in charge and seemingly escalating everything. And worse, he's Putin's puppet, so allies may become foes if this goes too far.

[JCMach1]

35. ANY action against NK leads to a Korean apocalypse

I don't think Trump gets this.

Up to 1m+ casualties in the first few hours of any conflict in Korea... Most from conventional weapons targeted on Seoul.

Madness blooming this Spring.

[hunter]

36. The last thing South Korea, China, and Russia want is millions of very confused and starving...

... North Korean refugees spilling across their borders.

This shouldn't be our fight. U.S. Viagra enhanced penis-waving isn't helpful here.
