Its not happening. North Korea wants nukes for one reason only: To guarantee their borders.

They know lobbing it at anyone will only result in nukes in turn, Kim may be nuts, but his generals are probably aware that their stockpile is vastly outnumbered, and a single nuke would be all China needs as an excuse to overthrow them.

This is probably the most likely scenario IMO. Donald is too easy to run without actually putting your hands on him. The buttons are too easy to press and he doesn't need to be controlled that closely. Surround him with the "right" people and let it happen naturally. Plus he's technically "clean".

Meh, he may not have been aware, but I'm willing to bet quite a few of his financial dealings with his Son/Son-in-Law's companies with Russia are not so clean and influenced who he surrounded himself with. Which is still basically illegal.

"Blood and Soil" is Dugin's thing, isn't it? These nazis are internationally-minded.

quote:

Richard Walther Darré popularized the phrase at the time of the rise of The Third Reich; he wrote a book called Neuadel aus Blut und Boden (A New Nobility Based On Blood And Soil), in 1930, which proposed a eugenics program, arguing for breeding as a cure-all for all the problems plaguing the state.[5] Darré was an influential member of the NSDAP and a noted race theorist who assisted the party greatly in gaining support among common Germans outside the cities. Prior to their ascension to power, National Socialists called for a return from the cities to the countryside.[6] This agrarian sentiment allowed opposition to both the middle class and the aristocracy, and presented the farmer as a superior figure beside the moral swamp of the city

It was also the motto of the Reich Food and Agricultural Ministry.

I feel like I should repeat some quotes about this guy, because he is scary as gently caress, and not at a larper like the 4chan wehraboos:

https://twitter.com/ShaunKing/status/896927612009840640

quote:

In 1987, prosecutors say Sgt. First Class Michael R. Tubbs and another Army Green Beret, toting automatic weapons fitted with silencers and dressed completely in black, robbed two fellow soldiers of their M-16 rifles during a routine exercise at Fort Bragg, N.C. "This is for the KKK," the holdup men shouted as they fled.

The brazen armed robbery went unsolved for three years, during which time Tubbs, who was with the Special Forces for 12 years, became one of the first U.S. soldiers sent to the Middle East after Iraq invaded Kuwait.

While he was abroad, the wife of his partner in the 1987 holdup went to authorities. Ultimately, five caches of weapons were found, including machine guns, 25 pounds of TNT, land mines, an anti-aircraft machine gun, grenades, booby traps, 45 pounds of C-4 plastic explosive and more. (Authorities believe that the arsenal was stolen from Fort Bragg and Fort Campbell, Ky.)

They also found notes written by Tubbs that showed that he and his brother, John Tubbs, were setting up a violently racist group called the Knights of the New Order. Officials said Michael Tubbs had drawn up lists of targets including newspapers, television stations and businesses owned by Jews and blacks.

There was even a group pledge authored by Tubbs: "I dedicate my heart to oppose the enemies of my race, my nation and the New Order. ... I dedicate my life from this moment forward to fostering the welfare of the white Aryan race."

The Tubbs brothers were named in a 16-count federal indictment. In the end, Michael Tubbs pleaded guilty to theft of government property and conspiracy to transport guns and explosives across state lines. (His brother also pleaded guilty to weapons charges.) Michael served about four years in prison, emerging in 1995.

Michael Tubbs immediately reentered the white supremacist movement, running a group called Kinsman's Comitatus meant to provide financial support to "political prisoners." Helping him was Vicki Gonce, ex-wife of Joel Hubbard, the North Carolina grand dragon of the National Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.
