Trump Turns The US Into A Laughing Stock With Empty Threats of Attacking N. Korea

Trump responded to another nuclear test by North Korea with empty threats that only make the US look like a joke.

The President responded to North Korea launching a new nuclear test by tweeting:

Trump also refused to answer when asked if the US would attack North Korea:

In Trump language, “We’ll see” means no. It was more empty BS from a president who has no plan for how to deal with North Korea.

Before he left the White House, former chief strategist Steve Bannon let the cat out of the bag, “There’s no military solution [to North Korea’s nuclear threats], forget it. Until somebody solves the part of the equation that shows me that ten million people in Seoul don’t die in the first 30 minutes from conventional weapons, I don’t know what you’re talking about, there’s no military solution here, they got us.”

Trump has got nothing, so he is going to continue to talk tough in the hopes that he can get out of a nuclear crisis through bluffing. Everyone knows that China is the key, but starting a trade war with China is not the answer, even though this president is itching for a trade war and it makes perfect sense that he would try to use the North Korea nuclear crisis to gut the US economy by slapping trade restrictions on China.

It is Trump’s fault that the crisis in North Korea has accelerated. The North Koreans tested Trump, and he failed. North Korea is not afraid of the US, as Donald Trump is turning the world’s only superpower into a laughingstock.
