The White House will have no comment on the unsuccessful North Korea missile launch.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Per James Mattis, Secretary Of Defense.


No scary tweets from Chump?

1. To busy stuffing his face with cake.

Geehe did not get to drop another bomb.

[nycbos]

2. They must have confiscated his phone.

Mattis probably is well aware that a loud American reaction is what Kim wants.

3. Kim's projectile failed to erupt?

Trump can probably sympathize.

[superpatriotman]

4. It must have been a trump brand missile

Sad.

[Bonhomme Richard]

5. It is all posturing.

So...two world leaders get in a pissing match. North Korea defies US and launches missile which fails. Launch fails so US isn't forced to respond and NK saves face by defying. Problem solved and world gets played. All is well and war avoided.

6. North Korea pissed in their cheerero's right before they served them

They were already prepared to brag that Trump had made the NK's back down with his tough talk and 'his' carrier group.

But this proved it did not.

My prediction, as crazy as it should: Some where soon you will read or hear that the North Koreans purposely insured the launch would be a dud because they are scared of Trump. Because otherwise they have to admit that Kim Young Fat just told Donald to fuck off and launched anyway.

7. Well, at least all the panicky DU posts can stop for now.

At least, I hope so.

[Orsino]

8. No taunt relief from WH.

Implies a willingness to de-escalate, or a president too drunk to care.
