    Geez, you expect me to read all that....I'll wait for CNN and FOX to tell me what it said..readers digest version. Then I'll disregard both and go play a round of golf.

    Just think how indignant you'd be if he'd said that about Kim.

    Some things are better left unsaid (publicly, by adults in responsible positions).
    Kim Jong Un's response was pretty good. "Dotard." Perfect characterization.

    I don't think either side should be name calling; I can't see why it is right for one side and not the other; it just escalates things.
    Name calling is very different than saying that you will not stand for an action by another, different than setting boundaries.

    Reader's Digest version: If we strike first, we're screwed, because China HAS to defend Korea, according to terms of the treaty that was just renewed and remains in effect until 2021.

    BUT if THEY strike first, China doesn't have to defend them. So, we're playing chess now, and making sure that if anything happens at all, it better be them attacking us. But they are really just playing chicken. And we better be prudent.

    Have a good round!

    I agree in principle. "Dotard" was such an apt characterization, though...

    I saw where some commentator said, if Kim ever rants about Hillary winning the popular vote, look out.
