So what happens if someone sends him one of those NK-produced videos of American landmarks being nuked while he's near the nuclear football?

OH MY GOD

 

[N7 MRP Weasel]

Most powerful man in the world, our leader.

DONALD TRUMP

 

[jesu]

President Trump had originally responded to the reported launch in a late-Saturday tweet, saying, “Iran just test-fired a Ballistic Missile capable of reaching Israel. They are also working with North Korea. Not much of an agreement we have!”

That was in Homeland you nutjob, and it was all a ruse!

But he's said he waits for all the facts to come in before commenting. HE SAID THAT!!!

 

[Saganator]

If they aren't going to take away his TV or phone, then someone needs to babysit him at least. Fuck.

 

[black_13]

As much as I'd like to hate on Trump, the republicans/Netenyahu and even Hillary have wanted to start a war with Iran for a long time now. Now they are just looking for any excuse to rile people up for this. I wouldn't even doubt in the future some kind of "scandal" or event that they blame Iran for and start a war.

Sad times.

 

[Hierophant]

trumps speech at the UN is the reason why NK and iran have nukes

Or that video that starts with the BBC antiques program.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

So I take it he didn't bother checking with his intelligence staff first?

Fox and Friends?

 

[Evening Musuko]

I am in shock that the alt-right internet troll's god emperor got trolled by another country.

[Garrett 2U]

His incompetence is going to cost the world it's stability.

 

[sinxtanx]

So I take it he didn't bother checking with his intelligence staff first?

it's a wonder the man remembers he is even President, asking him to recall who is employed in his administration is just putting too much on those oh-so-burdened shoulders

 

[Keasar]

Hope they slap that in his library if they ever get to building one.

 

[timetokill]

Just weeks ago Trump said he didn't like to say anything until he had "all the facts"


lmaoooooo

 

[Shauni]

I don't want to defend the man but this was considered actual news from the actual media. When the announcement was made I had no reason to believe it wasn't real, why should he?

You cannot be serious

Hillary was, last I heard, supportive of the deal we have in place. Or did you just need a little "both sides" dash in there for flavor.

 

[PSqueak]

The inmates truly are running the asylum.

Completely unrelated, but this phrase made me realize this was the punchline to the Asylum area in Psychonauts.

wow.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

One phone call to the Pentagon, that’s all it would take to confirm this. No, he has to rush a hot take on Twitter.

 

[Scrooged]

That was in Homeland you nutjob, and it was all a ruse!

That's actually the true part of his statement.

Amid new international sanctions, North Korea's "No. 2" official embarked on a 10-day visit to Iran, a move that could result in the two sides expanding their ties.

"There could be very problematic cooperation going on because of the past history and because it makes strategic sense, especially for Iran now," said Emily Landau, a senior research fellow at the Israeli-based Institute for National Security Studies and head of the Arms Control and Regional Security Program. INSS is an independent think tank affiliated with Tel Aviv University.
...
"Both the North Koreans and Iranians feel a serious threat from the United States and the West and sort of see each other as very different countries but facing a somewhat similar situation," said Matthew Bunn, a nuclear proliferation expert and professor of practice at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government.

North Korea's newly built embassy in Tehran opened Wednesday, according to the North's state-run KCNA news agency. It said the new embassy was "built to boost exchanges, contacts and cooperation between the two countries for world peace and security and international justice."
...
"There's been fairly extensive cooperation on missiles," said Bunn. "And in fact, early generations of Iranian missiles were thought to be basically modestly adapted North Korean missiles."

This is a real concern, but how many people are talking about it? The focus is always on Trump.
