Mainecat Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Thanks Trumpy..... Stepped-up rhetoric on North Korea wipes $1 trillion off world stocks Source: Reuters/St Louis-Dispatch Updated at 7:32 a.m. LONDON • The damage inflicted on world stocks this week by the escalating war of words over North Korea topped $1 trillion on Friday, as investors again took cover in the yen, the Swiss franc, gold and government bonds. With the tense mood pushing European shares down for a third day and Wall Street set to fall again, global stocks were on course for their worst week since Donald Trump won November's U.S. presidential election. Now installed in the White House, Trump issued a new warning to Pyongyang on Friday, tweeting: "Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely." North Korea had responded to Trump's previous promise to unleash "fire and fury," with a threat to land a missile near the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam.

I actually agree with MC on this. NK wants to be relevant and you make them so by engaging them in Social Media and the Press. Just fucking ignore them. We've had plans on what to do there militarily for decades. Keep improving those plans. I think its pretty well understood what happens if they attacked us or an ally. Its lights out. More pressure should be put on China to do something but not thru the media. By meetings with them and diplomacy.

But mc doesn't realize that the bullshit being put out by the media causes just as much problems when the leaders say something or not. The fucking liberals want trump to fail and when the markets drop, guys like mc celebrate. That's the kind of shit that just makes me dislike them so much.

I would never doubt the MSM and its intent to destroy Trump and the GOP under any circumstances even if it harms the country however in SOME cases Trump needs to understand this and just back off a bit at certain times.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted August 11, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 11, 2017 The author should put this in perspective some.

I'm not saying MC isn't hypocritical but I think all of this chest thumping does nothing but give credence to NK and its leaders. Something they do not deserve.

You have the media play footage of real words coming out of the real Donnie's mouth, which they already do. It's not unusual for me to hear him do the exact same speech 5 times a day, watching various programs. If you've got decent tv speakers it shouldn't sound distorted. I've got a home theater setup that works pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
