N. Korea Launch Has Me Worried

Of course, these people are crazy. This is obviously a test of the new President. My concern is that Trump did NOT respond when asked about the launch. Trump has no idea what to do. This is frightening. Normally, there would have been some sort of prepared statement or at least Trump would say something...but nothing.

Trump's Administration is not prepared for even normal activity. They are showing that they are not prepared for this foreign policy test. Anyone else overly concerned???

But that launch (land based with a 300 mile range) has zero chance of reaching the US. It is right up there with using a car to deliver a warhead.

But Trump needs to say something.

IN the back of my mind, I'm imagining that this incident may be a real problem for Trump. It may reveal something that frightens the whole of the American people.

His bark is worse than his bite. He's the political equivalent of a chihuahua.

Only worry when they have missiles that can reach California.

Even then, what are the odds ??

And anyone who shrugs and says it doesn't matter because it can't hit America is as ignorant as any Trump supporter saying we shouldn't care what happens to refugees.
People could DIE. North Korea is a thread to THE WORLD. It's all connected and the last thing we want is for dominos to start tumbling. This situation isn't stable because we have Trump at the helm. He will use ANY MEANS NECESSARY to box us in and shit on our rights. Why would we callously look away from another world leader who is doing the same thing to his people?????????

Even with Trump sitting on the crapper sending all-cap tweets, there are adults paying attention.

The U.S.A. is not the center of the universe.
