Hearing cabletalk about China using NK in a "madman" manuever.. Um.. YOU

[annabanana]

DON'T DO THAT AGAINST THE REAL THING!

This crap has my hair standing on end

1. What exactly does this mean?

[annabanana]

2. It means that NK's crazy talk is a tactic.. to make us think

that Kim in genuinely unhinged and not a "rational actor". That may be so, but I am not at all convinced that OUR "mad man" isn't the real deal.

3. The crazy talk is from our own dear leader.

[Ninsianna]

4. China is ramping up for a war with India.

There is a reason that the Indian news is busily taking stock of the army and stating that they need to ramp up their military because of the weakness in the White House that cannot be counted on behave rationally.
