President Trump’s Boast About Nuclear Button Causes US Media Panic

Once again President Trump has the media all worked up by a Tweet:

 

If you were looking for a two-word slogan to describe Donald Trump’s life, that would be a fitting one. In everything — from the size of his buildings to the size of his genitals to the size of his nuclear arsenal, Trump is totally and completely obsessed with being the biggest and the best.
“North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the ‘Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.’ Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!”
“Much bigger & more powerful.” “My Button works.”
If you don’t see what Trump is going for there, then we need to have a side conversation about the birds and the bees. This is a measuring contest provoked by the President of the United States against an unstable dictator pursuing a nuclear capacity.
It’s absolutely stunning given the stakes: Nuclear war/annihilation. At the same time, it’s an entirely predictable tactic from Trump given what he we know about him.  [CNN]
You can read more at the link, but the President actually does not have a nuclear button which the media seems to enjoy pointing out.  However, only stupid people think the President actually has a big red button on his desk to launch nukes, so I understood he was trying to be funny mocking Kim Jong-un’s button claim while at the same time answering another threat from the Kim regime.  All people need to take from the President’s latest Tweet is that any threat that the Kim regime makes President Trump is going to respond in kind in his own way.

Trump is a wuss. He is not going to launch a pre-emptive strike on the DPRK.

Trump supporters take him seriously but not literally.

Trump detractors take him literally but not seriously.

Since Trump is the president, it doesn’t really matter what his detractors think.

In the military, we were taught the ABC’s of effective communication. Accuracy, Brevity and Clarity. If the commander in chief can’t be take seriously AND literally, you’re going to have a whole bunch of confused soldiers running around.

“If the commander in chief can’t be take seriously AND literally, you’re going to have a whole bunch of confused soldiers running around.”

Will they be running around in circles or straight lines without any form of leadership except the confusing word of the president?

Wait. Should you not habe been taken literally? What about seriously?

When military leadership messages aren’t consistent and unambiguous from the top down you can have situations where town patrols believe they should be handcuffing civilians off base, or worse, Abu Ghraib.

JoeC thinks the President uses Twitter, not Mattis, to communicate to the troops…

That’s amusing.

Well, if the North Koreans are willing to bomb themselves, should we interfere?
https://americanmilitarynews.com/2018/01/north-korea-accidentally-bombed-one-of-its-own-cities-after-failed-missile-test-report-says/

A new report on Wednesday revealed that North Korea accidentally bombed one of its own cities after a missile launch test failed this past April.
The Diplomat first reported on the failed missile test, a Hwasong-12 intermediate-range ballistic missile that was launched from Pukchang Airfield in the South Pyongan Province on April 28, 2017.

More at the link, of course.

Scott Adams thinks Trump is having a positive effect on the Norks. Read his blog entry.

I like his Fire and Fury strategy. Beats all those years of just being strategically patient and listening to sea of fire and other bellicose threats coming from the NORKs.
