once again: it is in no way clear what trump is trying to accomplish in north korea.

he surely doesn't think he can bully them into giving up their nuclear weapons. why does he think they have nuclear weapons in the first place?

is he trying to look tough in front of the chinese?

there isn't a clear objective, here.

...and so i'm once again left to conclude that this is a made-for-tv movie.

get some popcorn, i guess.

and, we'll have to hope that the north koreans behave rationally in the face of american absurdity.

who is the rogue state, here?
