[He was]…superficial, hasty, restless, unable to relax, without any deeper level of seriousness, without any desire for hard work or drive to see things through to the end, without any sense of sobriety, for balance and boundaries, or even for reality and real problems, uncontrollable and scarcely capable of learning from experience, desperate for applause and success,–as Bismarck said early on in his life, he wanted every day to be his birthday–romantic, sentimental and theatrical, unsure and arrogant, with an immeasurably exaggerated self-confidence and desire to show off, a juvenile cadet, who never took the tone of the officers’ mess out of his voice, and brashly wanted to play the part of the supreme warlord, full of panicky fear of a monotonous life without any diversions, and yet aimless, pathological in his hatred(s)…

It’s a description of Kaiser Wilhelm II from The Great Upheaval by Thomas Nipperdey.

What about the three Presidents who had TWENTY FIVE F***ING YEARS to deal with this and left us with this situation? If Trump “gets us all killed” from a NK nuke they share the blame.

As to Donald Trump, he chose to be the president of this country and the leader of the free world. He has an obligation and responsibility to millions of people. That includes using basic common sense when speaking. His obvious lack of self-control is a reflection of his lack of understanding of the burden he shoulders. He’s immature in the extreme. He needs to be reined in before he gets us all killed.

So, do you understand what that sentence of mine means?

It means exactly what it says: that there is not much indication that the current leader of North Korea is sane or rational, which could in turn be paraphrased as meaning we don’t know whether he’s sane or rational because we don’t have the evidence on which to judge it.

Shorter version: we don’t know.

If you somehow think that equates to my saying that he’s insane or irrational, then you are having trouble with the English language.

Smart does not a good President make. The smartest Presidents did us the most severe and enduring damage. See Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Barack Hussein Obama.

“I’m not going to rule out a military option,” Mr. Trump told reporters when asked about the situation in the South American country. “Venezuela is a mess.”

That’s what happened to Tojo.

Japan attacked — even though her internal analysis showed she would lose a serious war — because Tojo & Coy could NOT reverse course.

Such steely resolve is to be expected with Oriental politicians.

It’s why Japan had to be nuked. She wouldn’t see the light until it was an atomic flash. Concentration camp food rations for the civil population was not enough to convince the Imperial Japanese to reverse course.

The OTHER concept you must comprehend is ‘belly talk.’ This when an Oriental politician talks completely away from the truth — as in 180 to reality — and you, the listener, are expected to know that this face-saving mechanism is in sway.

By July 1945 all top Japanese politicians and authorities were engaged in full on ‘belly talk.’

( You’re supposed to listen to his belly — not his lips — get it ? )

This same concept holds true for Korea and China.

Belly talk exists because Top Men never make mistakes nor have to alter course — let alone reverse course.

Such fixitude was bedrock for Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro, Tojo and many another. It’s straight from the Dictatorship 101 handbook.

BTW, we’ve LONG crossed the line: ONLY atomic weapons will de-fang Kim. The last president who could’ve stopped Kim with conventional arms was Barry Soetoro… about the time he was destroying non-nuclear Libya.
