I wish we had a State Department.
I wish we had some seasoned diplomats in the position to do what they're trained for. .

consequences either militarily or economically....Hard to believe China would allow much more blustering as anything will set off a US response now after the huge bomb test. I gotta say, Trump may have justification now

annihilate a city like Tokyo or Seoul and choices are becoming few. If China can't get control, the only other solution is pretty much wipe NK off the map as no ground war could be wage that didn't end in destruction of Seoul and huge parts of South Korea. Trump is being handed every justification now,

Kim has nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons and will use all of them and go out in a blaze of glory if he is attacked.

One day you’ll be in the ditch, flies buzzin’ around your eyes
Blood on your saddle

Idiot wind, blowing through the flowers on your tomb
Blowing through the curtains in your room
Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth
You’re an idiot, babe
It’s a wonder that you still know how to breathe

You see me on the street

You always act surprised

You say, “How are you?” “Good luck”

But you don’t mean it



When you know as well as me

You’d rather see me paralyzed

Why don’t you just come out once

And scream it

-Bob Dylan, ne Robert Allen Zimmerman
