I really couldn't give a flying fart at this point. Think what you want. Politics are all in vain anyways.



And people think pacifism is the answer, too.
Yet you think war is the answer but refuse point blank to sign upto the army yourself. Oh the irony of that statement

Brainless idiot? He's a billionaire and the president, you don't get to that by being brainless.

Don't go defending Trump around here, liberals are gonna call you out for having a different opinion, and remember that if you don't agree with their views, they're gonna verbally crucify you.


Politics can sod off.

Nah, he got money from his father and lost almost all of his money. He now has a fuckton of debts. All the products he tried to launch failed horribly. He's certainly one of the less successful billionnaires in the entire world.

Still a billionaire. You don't become a billionaire and one of the most powerful men in the world by being brainless.

Believe it or not trump is sh*t. He wants war more then kim. They both gonna start world war 3 & most of the sh*t will be done by trump.
Just two selfish brats throwing stones at each other inside the living room of East Asia.
Yeah, one inherited bigger slingshots from his older brothers. Nevertheless they are still brats and the furniture will end up ruined.

Trump is the U.S.'s Kim Jong-un. Luckily we have a democracy (on the face of it, at any rate), but what can we do.


you think north korea is...liberal? You have a very weird definition of liberal.

No, he's saying the liberal agenda (views, opinions, news articles) is being pushed.

You guys are missing a few important details:

a) North Korea has nuclear weaponry;
b) North Korea is backed by Russia and been backed until very recently by China. North Korea protects Russia's pipelines and China wants to avoid a refugee crisis.

Directly hitting North Korea would mean risking nuclear warfare, and by the nature of the regime, having one major city hit with a nuclear missile. This is why all US presidents so far have been avoiding direct cronfrontation. The plan has been letting the regime implode. North koreans who live near the border are mostly aware of the nature of the regime and inner citizens are starting to get aware. The only thing that has been stopping revolution is the extreme poverty.

Also, Kim seems to be a figurehead. You can kill him, but the generals beneath him are the ones who I believe hold true power.

Then what the hell do we do? Let him get what away with whatever he wants like a spoiled tubby brat? How is that a smart move? I hope that government just collapses horrifically.
