Kale posted:I mean try explaining this to a country that just had to issue a warning telling citizens to consider seeking shelter. Imagine your in the middle of your breakfast or whatever and suddenly you heat a missile might be touching down in your street in the next 15 minutes or something North Korea is not going to attack any city/town, and telling citizens to consider seeking shelter is needlessly inciting a panic.

Kale posted:Literally all that happened is they backed off on their threats against Guam. They actually didn't even do this, but the NK situation is complex and it's difficult for the media to get across what's actually happening given how many people will only look at headlines or scan a paragraph or two. Basically, NK never threatened to launch some kind of first strike on Guam. They said "hey, here's what we're going to do if you keep loving with us" and then didn't do anything because they never suggested that it was going to be an unprovoked attack.

There's a difference between potentially inciting panic when NK fires a missile that lands harmlessly in the ocean for the 40th time and recommending seeking shelter for a missile flying over the country, which has only happened in 98, 09 and now. But I guess you know more than Japan's government.

From what I've come to understand whenever it looks like NK is doing something to provoke international attention they're really just seeking to maintain their domestic policy of perpetual cold war with the states. I'm willing to entertain the they just over fuelled the thing theory.

boner confessor posted:i think the danger was that their lovely missile might go off target and hit a town more than there was any danger of a deliberate attack It'd have to go pretty far off target. Japan is like 80% urban. No NoKo missile is going to 'accidentally' hit a Japanese city. I think both sides know what would happen in that case. This is more about making GBS threads on Japan's territorial rights.

Bottom line is if a missile, friendly or otherwise, is flying directly over your head, take shelter no matter what someone on a dead website says.

There's no way a half-competent government is going to allow themselves into a spot where they have to say "well up until the moment that the trajectory changed and the missile splashed down on our soil and our people, it looked like it might just fly overhead. So at the time we didn't issue a warning because we didn't want any of our now dead citizens to panic"

Blow the planet up to show how manly and strong. Also this sudden don't call me racist poo poo is pretty out there too. Like which is it the alt right fuckers want, the wear my overt racism and bigotry and hatred for everthing or don't call a spade a spade cause they can't keep trying to flip flop and look like a legitimate movement. It's also why I have a hard time taking the internet wing of it seriously at all. Kale fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Aug 28, 2017 |

Lol this is the 2nd time in a year I've read about a fake stabbing story. https://twitter.com/TheRoot/status/902265456546996224 (the other was a UT Austin student who stabbed himself a day or so after a real stabbing occurred at the University and blamed it one someone stabbing people in Greek organizations instead of admitting what actually happened.)

The only way to make this better is to have the soldier eating the gay cake make a reprise only with the cake smashed at his feet and he's happy. This is actually a sentence that makes sense if you know his previous work and not an insane rambling.

Hot take: the right, with their lack of true human empathy, saw the horrid tragedy that cost Heather Heyer her life too soon and is now actively trying to martyr themselves in anyway possible in the hopes it gives them political momentum. ] This is a good sign of how well its working out for them. Well this and "MILK! I NEED MILK! MILK!!!"

"If you are wondering about the meaning behind Trump stepping on the snake - for me it represents that he will crush the enemies of liberty, justice, and American prosperity." Considering the jizz rag of the Tea Party is the Gadsden Flag that features a rattlesnake and quite prominently says "DON'T TREAD ON ME," I prefer to look at this as a troll.

The world is ending and Trump is the anti-christ Or, we have a leadership that the rest of the world thinks they can lead around by the dick and our underfunded infrastructure is getting loving wrecked by natural disasters that are probably becoming more common due to our willful and intentional neglect of the environment, because people have managed to equate not burning our loving planet down with an attack on our personal freedoms
