And a little child shall barf on them
Of course he does. Trump makes his debut at the UN by threatening to destroy North Korea while at the same time calling Kim Jong Un by a ridiculous childish nickname. We’re living in a serial titled The Giant Toddler Who Destroyed the Earth.
“We meet at a time of immense promise and great peril,” Trump said in his maiden address to more than 150 international delegations at the annual U.N. General Assembly. “It is up to us whether we will lift the world to new heights or let it fall into a valley of disrepair.”
Oops. That was “despair,” Don. Do more rehearsals. The world is not a car that needs repair; it’s a little more complicated than that.
“I will always put America first just like you, the leaders of your countries, should put your countries first,” Trump said, returning to a campaign theme and the “America First” phrase that has been criticized as isolationist and nationalistic.
And undermining the whole point of the UN, which was born out of the real-time observation that nationalism ends in war.
Trump praised the United Nations for enacting economic sanctions on Pyongyang over its nuclear and ballistic missile tests. But he emphasized that if Kim Jong Un’s regime continued to threaten the United States and to destabilize East Asia, his administration would be prepared to defend the country and its allies.
“The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea,” Trump said, before calling Kim by a nickname he gave the dictator on Twitter over the weekend. “Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself.”
And everyone present wished his nanny would come in and drag him back to the nursery.
Thereby violating every premise of international law. Violating the UN charter. Violating all concept of humanity.
Please, UN, when are you going to declare us a rogue state and get together a “coalition of the willing” to stop us?
Oh, just to add, Ophelia, isn’t it time for a furry animals segment? I think we all need furry animals right now.
“And undermining the whole point of the UN, which was born out of the real-time observation that nationalism ends in war.”
So if each country says “We get all the gold” or “We get all the oil” or “We get all the food” (or perhaps more accurately, the rich people in all the countries) that’s exactly what will happen. That’s okay then, because the USA will WIN! Flawless, consistent logic from president Twoscoops.
The main source of “great peril” being Trump and his followers…
Agreed, furry animals. Please. Though, this post was a refreshing take on some disrepairing events. Or did I mean disturbing? Hard to tell these days.
Don’t know what you’re all on about, Trump’s dump at the UN got rave reviews. I’m sure the following quote from Bibi will be at the top of this afternoon’s “ego booster” press-clipping package: “In over 30 years in my experience with the UN, I never heard a bolder or more courageous speech.”
Of course, Bibi may feel some kinship with Trump as AG Mandelblit goes about his job in the same way as Robert Mueller is going about his. I wish both Mandelblit and Mueller would hurry up and shut down both of these goons.
