https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/09/02/trump-plans-withdrawal-from-south-korea-trade-deal This is excellent timing to tear up a trade deal with our key ally in the region, while North Korea plays chicken with missiles over Japan. If he wasn't completely incompetent I would claim he does these things for maximum destructive effect, like the diasterous Nato speech. By the way, why does Trump hate free global trade so much? Is it something Steven Bannon and Alex Jones tell him is bad, or is it simply "I am world's biggest best negotiator, I will get the BEST deals MAGA" drivel in his head?

WeAreTheRomans posted:Most rich assholes are smart enough to know they can achieve their agenda via dark money - see Kock Brothers, but also every rich gently caress ever Oh boy is Trump a great example of how if you're born into wealth and are an rear end in a top hat, society will reward that by not stopping you from being rich or an rear end in a top hat. Instead you get to be president. Also as far as doing things rich assholes do, I guess at this point it's obvious Trump spent the last 10 years doing sleazy rich guy things with Russian oligarchs thinking they were just rubbing elbows and he wasn't involved in geopolitics then at all.

Here's what I don't get: what is North Korea trying to get the U.S. to do? Are they really trying to scare them from invading, because I'd think at this point, Kim would realize that the U.S. would retaliate more and more.

They recognize he's a blowhard idiot so they're taking the opportunity to humiliate him and the US. That's all they're ever up to. They act up against presidents they don't respect.

Trump's not going to do anything. If he attacks first, he's got China to deal with and his generals know it. Likewise, if NK does anything they're on their own, so they're not going to do anything either.

The Kim family has long believed that any small dictatorship will inevitably be overthrown by an American president who wants a bump in the polls, and the only defense against this is to be a credible threat that would do too much damage in collapse to be worth deposing. They're probably not wrong.

Kelly posted:So will "lots of happiness" be Trump's "heck of a job" or should we prepare for something worse? Trump is more of an actions guy than a single quote guy. Mostly because you need a little bit more context than "said to the director of FEMA as New Orleans was destroyed" to turn his word salad into blood pressure bombs. If I had to go with straight up quotes though I'd still put either "bing bing bong bong" or "no puppet. no puppet. you're the puppet" as most Trumpian quotes so far. Maybe the ol' "ok, allright. i disavow, ok?" chestnut. LtStorm posted:I wish we could see the emotion on that little girl's face. The photographer that took the picture is more competent at their job by getting them from this angle than anyone in the Trump administration. You'll note that the only person other than Trump who can see the poor child's expression is frozen in an expression between shock and horror. Please do not kiss strange children on the lips. Though I guess there's a decent chance Trump is just trying to suck the essence out of the poor kid.  TulliusCicero posted:https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/09/02/trump-plans-withdrawal-from-south-korea-trade-deal The US-Korea Free Trade Agreement was ratified on October 12, 2011. So Obama did it, thus it must go. I don't know why people keep asking why the old fucker does things. Does it personally benefit him, does it make the shambling shades of people he calls his base cheer, or does it undo something Obama did? Those are the 3 reasons he does anything ever.

Feinne posted:No I'm just saying there's no way that thing contains enough LiD to do anything meaningful. Possibly but the package size still looks larger than comparable US devices. quote:a W88 warhead manages to yield up to 475 kt with a physics package 68.9 in (1.75 m) long, with a maximum diameter of 21.8 in (0.55 m), and weighing probably less than 800 lb (360 kg). Like that looks like way more than 21 inches in maximum diameter to me. Maybe this is just short NK people throwing off my eyes, and I'm certainly too lazy to measure that poo poo. I'll wait for a blog post to own me instead of doing it myself. I'm not saying it isn't empty just that it seems like they researched their mockup a little at least. Edit: I hope it turns out to be a depth of field trick and the bomb is like 2 inches long.

Are they really trying to scare them from invading, because I'd think at this point, Kim would realize that the U.S. would retaliate more and more. Two things: 1) As others have said, make a show of strength to promise that an attack wouldn't be quick and painless. Trump would love nothing more than to lob a few bombs to look Presidential and in command (see: Afghanistan, Syria) and reminding him that you'll take out Seoul, Tokyo, and/or Seattle if he tries is important to the Kims to keep things safe. 2) Extortion. Time and time again, NK escalates the situation, gets drug to the table by China, then agrees to stop/slow down development/pull troops back/not start poo poo for a while/etc. if it gets food/medicine/etc. from China and SK and the US. This was more common during the famine, and it didn't happen much near the end of Il's reign and the beginning of Un's, but now I think Un's feeling comfortable enough with power that he wants to leverage some Western money out of his father's nuke program.

Just so you know Trump is not racist*, for that same photo op, he brought Ben Carson down with him this time. This photo was cropped, because Carson is behind him. I'm betting that we'll find that the girl is Carson's niece or something that they brought as a ringer, hence the whole "Grandpa Trump" stuff. Also, just like everything Trump's done, he should have done this the first time. I guess this means that a couple of days from now, he's going to praise Harvey as "fine weather" and that there's "both sides" to what happened in Houston. Willo567 posted:Crossposting from Korea megathread It's rudimentary and not polished, but that looks like something. I mean, it could be obviously be fake but given current events and some successful launches recently, it's not out of the realm of possibility. Maybe not an H-bomb, but sure something. Comparison to other physics packages. Below is the B53, built between 1961-1965, weight 4 tons, yield 9 megatons.  W70 to left, the so-called "neutron bomb", built between 1981-1983, weight 270kg, yield 1 to 100 kilotons  M80, being loaded, current inventory, built between 1979 and 1990, weight 130kg, yield selectable between 5 to 200 kilotons.

Yeah that is almost certainly a real bomb and could easily be pretty potent, just not the crazy number the NK government is tossing around. Remember at the end of the day (and simplifying things quite a bit) an H-bomb is a bunch of fusion fuel (usually lithium deuteride) and an atom bomb to get it hot enough to start fusing. And since its power is limited by how much fuel it has, it can kind of only be so small. Feinne fucked around with this message at 03:15 on Sep 3, 2017 |

While I have doubts it could go over a megaton in yield, it's definitely something that could fit in a ballistic missile, which is the more pressing point. This and the successful overshoot in Japan is basically Kim Jong Un saying that the DPRK now has the means to shoot nukes anywhere in the region. He's showing you the gun and the bullets.

Well, it's a metal case that's the right size to be a bomb. Whether or not it actually contains a functioning thermonuclear device is another story. They've been having trouble getting their fission bombs to work properly. I have my doubts that they've made the leap to an H-bomb.

According to this, NK isn't claiming megaton yields at all: https://mobile.twitter.com/Liveuamap/status/904110304824524800 "tens kiloton to hundreds kiloton" which is more in range with realism.
