Trump's speech seemed like a great hit!

If you saw the speech, you'd get the reference.

The highlight to me is when he just nonchalantly says he'll blow up north Korea and then follows it up with the rocket man zinger. It's not best to turn a something into a joke when you literally threatening an entire people

The artillery of North Korea on the border with South Korea, if Trump attacks Kim of South Korea, will not

It's funny ya'll think he's making empty threats. I may not agree with how he's going about the whole diplomacy thing, but he's literally not wrong. We could turn 'Rocket Man' into ash in less than a minute. They would not have time to retaliate. That's why he talks the way he does. Because he knows it and he has seen it.

I couldn't get passed the beginning of the speech cus it was too cringey.

Trump is now threatening to commit Genocide and no one blinks an eye?
No several people are complaining saying his speech is dangerous and against un principles.

But yea I guess it's not a lot. I know he talked with the swedish prime minister or whatever it's called and was urged to seek diplomatic solutions.

Nice video, but what are the visuals supposed to represent or the significance of the lyrics in relation to Trumps remarks at UN?
He called Kim Jon Ung "Rocket Man" right after threatening to "totally destroy" North Korea.


He really said that in his first address to the United Nations....

Rocket Man is a popular song by Elton John. That was the joke.


I didn't watch the video so I don't know did he threaten to bomb the entire country of NK? Or was he just after Kim Jong Un?
Watch the video. He says "totally destroy North Korea."

Trump's trying to run his mouth it's American policy war keeps the economy ticking over. North Korea is a very bad idea Trump can talk smack all he likes but even stray missiles hitting power plants in south Korea and Japan would cause nuclear fallout.

The US needs to stop antagonising them and he's even willing to cause another neeess war with Iran. If he really wants to reform the UN he should just give up the US veto and then force the other powers to do so.

But you didnt acknowledge the terms in which he'd "destroy" NK. Are you not fine with the U.S. responding to NK with military action in defense of itself or allies?

What terms were those?

He basically threatened to commit genocidal war crime at a UN assembly as he also criticized other countries for being violent. No I am not fine with his response.

Terms being "if the U.S. has to defend itself or an ally against an attack from NK, it will respond with military force". I' think those terms are fair. If NK ex. launches a bomb at ex. our western coast, or Japan, America will respond with military force.

Btw, stop sensationalizing a potential war with NK as a moral evil ("genocidal", "war crime"). Responding to a military attack with military force has been the cause of nearly all major historical wars. Most people don't want war, but many times war is a necessary action. Do you think ex. America responding w/ military force to the pearl habor attacks was a genocidal war crime?

Ether.

Sure killing people is wrong and President Trump didn't have to say he'd destroy NK, but come on dog... If you punch a bear you deserve what it does back to you.
