Donald I, emperor of the world.

Meanwhile, this is going on behind our backs.

• Reuters has confirmed that Kim Yo Jong, the sister of Kim Jong Un, criticized the United States and South Korea for continuing their joint Freedom Shield military exercises and warned that any threat to North Korea would bring “terrible consequences.” She said the drills undermine regional stability during a period of escalating global conflicts and vowed that North Korea would continue strengthening its military and nuclear deterrence in response.

That happens every year.

Yes. But is it bigger, bolder, or longer than usual to invoke the ire?
PS - Donnie loves his "shields" doesn't he?

True but the fear is that the erosion of "normal" international behaviours will embolden other childlike psychopathic heads of state. Probably not likely at this stage because Xi is steering the ship, but in the longer term?

It seems that fictional nuclear threats are more dangerous than actual nuclear threats in Donnie’s despot love in.

It always seems so pointless to me, they conduct military exercises around Baengnyeong Island which is incredibly close to North Korea. They don't really need to do them there and it just feels like a pointless wind up.

Isn't the intention to conspicuously not let Kim Yong Un come to the false belief that attacking someone might be fun?

N Korea has after all been delusional enough to imagine it's football team was good, and sent soldiers to be defenestrated in Ukraine.

Donald Trump says the bombing campaign in Iran has led to "people walking around with no legs". That's yet to be proven, although Trump has shown evidence that people can walk around with no brain.

What a total knob.

I hate power handshakes, and the perpetrators should suffer debilitating RSI for the repeated offence. You can see Trump does it to try to dominate and belittle. Once I know, I go in with a rigid hand that ain't gonna crumble.

If you saw the thing about Rubio wearing oversized shoes, this is the context, and is symptomatic of the deep, deep weirdness of Trump and his lackeys. On the one hand, one might think it's trivial, OTOH, that they are doing such a trivialities while the world burns is kinda not trivial at all.

Bet they look lovely on Leavitt.

Perhaps they could all wear badges of the great leader to show their support.

It’s starting to look like a cult. Very similar to the generals who follow Kim Jong Un around and look absolutely petrified all the time.
