that's a shitload of Russian bot followers

her Periscope link on her profile leads to a dead end

Her website is a Trump merch site and the only person modeling any of the gear is the woman in the picture

Account created January 2017, with this many followers but not anyone of note and most of the followers being Trump bots. Despite having 150k followers she barely dredges up 30-50 likes per tweet, and is somehow following 35k people

This sure smells Russian to me

They couldn't do much of anything just a year ago.

Maybe I'm the only one who think we should take it seriously since they've advanced their capabilities relatively quickly. Maybe you're right though. I'm sure they're done advancing at this point.

I think its more that people have simply been pretending that they can't do what they do every year so they're continually a few years ahead and we're just now starting to see wide-scale acknowledgement of their real capabilities.

To be fair. It doesn't matter how many you have. Its how many you can launch before your sites are erased and how many of those hit anything of value.

Is Seoul a target of value? Kadina? Yokuska? Tokyo?

We keep moving the goal posts, years ago North Korea revealed their capability with nuclear weapons, they're now showing that they can threaten the mainland US with them. Regionally they've been a credible threat for years.

Can a president unilaterally order a nuclear strike or is there a two-man rule in place? IE: Trump gets mad at lil Kim, decides to cleanse Pyongyang, can he just ask for the football and launch? Or does he have to get someone else in his cabinet to agree as well? If so, whats to stop him from just going down the list until he gets a yes?

legally and funtionally its 100% the presidents call. People in the room have to not allow him to physically give the order for that to change. The people in the CoC could theoretically ignore the order but they drill such that they shouldn't ever really know the difference between a training order and a real order for that exact purpose.

I've got a hair up my butt (again) about him implying that B-1s are nuke-capable (at the moment) but yeah he's right. Wake me up when freight trains loaded down with Abrams tanks are heading toward the West Coast.

Seriously though you can't find a precedent for Trump among American presidents. Even the Republicans from the Gilded Age don't fit. You've got to go back to Roman times and their decadent emperors.

I don't think we have any intention or need to send (more) heavy armor to Korea. The upper peninsula is an awful place of mountains and infantry only areas.

On the one hand, I dislike the idea of banning political speech you disagree with. It shouldn't be illegal to be a white supremacist.

Don't need the national guard for that. If theres a rally in the area get some buddies and brawl. Pepe's and Red Hats fold under actual confrontation.
