Trump feels safe threatening NK because WH aide Gorka is saying NK is "a Lilliputian nation"

The terminally stupid leading the terminally stupid.


From The Hill:

White House aide Sebastian Gorka warned Tuesday that North Korea should not test President Trump.

"This is a Lilliputian nation, if you compare it to our capabilities," Gorka said on Fox Business.

"So this is bluster. This is nothing else except blackmail, and we do not give in to blackmail, and North Korea and the head of the North Korea Stalinist regime should not test this president."

2. Send Gorka To South Korea, make him camp along the DMZ, and spout his BS from there.

He isn't allowed to leave. He isn't allowed a weapon or guards.

Then let's hear what he has to say.

Oh, and Gorka - you can get a weapon from the dead. Remember that. Run, duck, grab a weapon - run some more.

He'll still get shelled into atoms. Unfortunately so would tens of thousands of South Koreans.

About 2200 SP arty pieces and about 4500 towed arty pieces. Puts them about five to seven from the top. India and SK have more than NK as well.
