That was still enough of a deterrent for them to hang on until they got their nukes in a row.

the real deterrent is that if north korea collapses, nobody wants to be liable for the cleanup and refugees. the nation is sort of holding itself hostage

iirc germany still faces economic and cultural trouble from a much briefer and less substantial division, a unified korea would be far worse in terms of baggage imo

What's even going on with NYT? I quit reading it back when they hired a climate change denier as an opinion writer and the editor was a huge rear end to people who didn't like it. Do they not realize that they'll be the big bad enemy to conservatives no matter how much they suck em off?

This poo poo is straight up irresponsible. Who the gently caress are these college students that are clamoring for the U.S. to be like Stalin's Soviet Union?

I never understood why conservatives hate them since they cheerlead every conflict imaginable.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.

The NYT is so worthless it's astounding. I can't wait for them to gush about Trump being so presidential and wonderful when he gives the SOTU and manages to only piss himself once or twice in the process.

Utter crap, sorry man :/ Hate to ask but was his name John by any chance? An old acquaintance of mine from Korea passed away today as well but I don't know the circumstances.

I'm going to try to start my 2018 on a better foot by releasing a quiet, peaceful album I just finished.

Use your street cred in Poli sci to gather an army of lean-left milennials to storm over nearby polling locations.

Sup fellow university graduating buddy. :hfive: Except my degree was in history. I had a great internship with a major T.V. network, and am hoping I'll be able to get back there at some point (or doing similar work at another outlet).

I totally agree.

Trump has brought a "reality-show accessibility" to the office. Reality shows are all about assholes forcing drama into every situation for no goddamn reason besides basking in attention, and reality show people are among the worst people alive. Yeah, that's the vibe coming from the White House this year.

Trump has also definitely "invigorated voters who felt alienated," I don't think anyone can deny that. Unfortunately those were largely the voters who felt alienated by the fact that modern America tells them to let the blacks vote, to let women have opinions, and to let gays live.

This is yet another one of those Tweets that is completely true, but the implication that it's describing a good thing is where it becomes insanity.

It's gonna be a white man from the Central or Mountain time zone wearing a buttoned down shirt tucked into jeans because the DNC never learns.
