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.
