The Washington Post frets that the president's UN speech was "menacing." ABC thinks he committed a war crime

Legacy media going bananas over Trump threat to 'totally destroy' North Korea if they nuke us



Rob's already posted the entire speech so you can see that it wasn't "menacing" at all, but like I said, that's the Washington Post. What do you expect from them? ABC liberal Terry Moran is so beside himself that he's ready to re-open the Nuremberg trials with Trump on the stand:
In the midst of all this, you could be forgiven for not knowing (because no one's mentioning it) that Trump's threat against North Korea was strictly defensive, and in response to very real threats that Bowl Cut Jr. (or "Rocket Man" as Trump prefers to call him, but we like our nickname for him better) has been making over the course of many months. When a madman has the ability to nuke you and is threatening to do it, you might want to let him know what will happen to him if he actually tries it. This is shocking to the left and the media (but I repeat myself), but it's pretty standard human behavior and pretty standard statecraft as well. It's also undeniably true. Nuclear deterrent doesn't work, especially against rogue actors, if it's "proportionate" as the left seems to prefer. The reason you don't start a fight with a giant is not that you can't do him any damage. Maybe you can. But he can absolutely crush you, and you can't do that to him. All Trump is doing here is verbalizing the very reason small countries have not historically picked on the United States. We can crush them. The only question is whether a given president is willing to actually do so. This one is. That has the left wetting its pants, but then what doesn't? The Post's take on the speech, authored by Aaron Blake, is quite something. The headline declares the entire speech "menacing" when it clearly is not, unless you're someone thinking about attacking the United States. Then I suppose it's menacing to you, and it's supposed to be. For the rest of the world it's anything but. I guess the Post shares the perspective of America's would-be enemies. Here's what he said about Trump's North Korea threat:

Last month, he promised “fire and fury” if North Korea threatened the United States; with “totally destroy,” he seems to be suggesting the United States might annihilate an entire country of 25 million people. That’s a remarkable statement from a president.
It's really not. At all. Not given the reality of what's happening. If a U.S. president has never before voiced such a threat, it's only because no leader of a nation with 25-million people ever before explicitly threatened to nuke the United States. That's unprecedented in its own right so it sort of calls for an unprecedented response. But all Trump did was express what everyone knows the U.S. is capable of, which is why even very evil people don't usually make such threats against us. They don't need to be told what will happen to them if they nuke us. It's understood. Bowl Cut Jr. is not only evil but totally insane as well, which is why he does need to be told of the consequences but also needs to be removed from power as soon as possible because eventually he's going to get to the point where he doesn't care about the consequences and just does what he wants. By the way, isn't another way of reading "totally destroy" that it's the regime that will be destroyed, and that the nation of North Korea will cease to exist because Korea will be reunified? Oh well. Don't interrupt Terry Moran when he's moralizing. That could get ugly.
