Trump threatens war against North Korea - and says South Korea and Japan will pay for it


President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened to go to war with North Korea if it kept behaving badly — and he said that our allies in Japan and South Korea would pay for it.

During his formal announcement on withdrawing from a planned summit with North Korea, Trump said that both South Korea and Japan “are willing to shoulder much of the cost of any financial burden, any of the costs associated by the United States in operations” if the United States is “forced” to attack North Korea.

Trump then said that he hoped such a step wouldn’t be necessary and that “hopefully positive things will be taking place with respect to the future of North Korea” in the coming months. “But if they don’t, we are more ready than we have ever been before,” the president added.

Trump’s declaration that South Korea and Japan will pay for an American war against North Korea is reminiscent of his infamous campaign pledge that Mexico would pay for his proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

I can see it now. Trump telling his Deplorable followers we're going to war with North Korea and asking them who is going to pay for it, and they answer South Korea.

4. He is just trying to get ahead of the critics who start asking questions

Such as...who is gonna foot the bill?? He wants to placate his deplorables ahead of time with the lie that it won’t cost us anything. Uhm, how about the people power, you idiot? What about lost or broken lives? How are Japan or South Korea gonna mitigate those costs, you jackass? Will the deplorables figure it out when it is their sons and daughters coming home in a body bag?! No cost, my ass.

5. He is playing lethal "ratings games" with a twisted Reality Show mentality...

As if working up to a season 1 finale.

The finale in this instance could be massive death. And he is oblivious to the risk. Dense as cement, shallow as a thimble and dumber than a box of his dyed hair...he must be stopped now.

His twisted popularity contest within his own demented mind is ruining the nation’s global standings and ripping to shreds domestic progressions of the last decade.

And it is painfully obvious that much of his actions and words today are simply so he can one-up Barack Obama on his “get revenge” bucket list that is already destroying our country. He was promoting these talks as if it was his quick fix campaign for a Nobel Peace Prize. All so he could put another hashmark next to his delusional chalkboard of pay backs against a far far superior man, leader and human being.

I’m not all that positive we can hold out for our Blue Wave.
We are making serious advances but his power to destroy is nightmare-frightening.
