RE: The Real Stakes of Living on the West Coast in 2017
But IF NK had a SINGLE nuke, would they not be most smart to put it right up the San Andreas in a minisub??
And wouldn't 500 north koreans in 3 man squads be able to basically shut down 1/3 of the US economy?
riddle me that
Its just a guess but I think North Korea is the latest bogie man in a long list of imaginary threats against America - they can barely build a car, let alone a nuclear bomb, which America has never built themselves anyway
a million ak47's is always a problem if they are pointed the wrong direction.
huge bombs, artillery, submarines are all dangerous too.
both ways of looking at it can be right. they are in a posture to attack us and could do real damage, AND the people who rule us use the conflict as a tool to manipulate the top story in the mass media news.
like shock jock stock market radio hosts have a panel with sound buttons on it, the president has such a panel but not just of sounds, but of actual geopolitical conflicts.
as i see it, if the president can golf, and cnn can do fluff hollywood segments, then any actual conflict they are talking about is not urgent at all whatsoever, to them at least.
meanwhile in NK, images of trump as the boogeyman and endless hagiographies of how awful he actually is motivate their entire system. And we americans actually do look like trumps huge asshole.
less so if you are shouting out, at risk to yourself, against his absurd, crass kabuki.
that is the ruler though who trump most resembles, Crassus of Rome. He built up an army then took it to syria and was wiped out. Or Napoleon or Hitler invading Russia, that is the type of level of stupidity I'm expecting, trying to be prepared for. The people who are like this is business as usual....yikes, they are out of the loop.
