    Back when America was truly great, we knew what to do with Nazis.

    Jesus. You just can't go long without revealing how awful a person you are.

    The threat of nuclear war increases tourism?

    Not saying Kim is rational, but if in theory he were - he should tell the world, I don't want to use these nukes, our guidance systems are shit and we have no idea where they will go once we launch them, but Trump is making me look bad in front of my people. Make him apologize.

    Great Fish Called Wanda scene aside, history suggests the opposite of this, as @BTExpress well addressed earlier:
    To Kim's mind, he likely thinks the most rational move is to convey the strongest impression of being a legit nuclear threat possible, because historically leaders who pose a legit nuclear threat are the only ones the United States won't mess with.

    Irrationality, on the other hand, would be for us to think he'll use them on us first and thus needs to be "preempted", as there's absolutely no rational incentive for him to ever do that.

    Trump has an itchy trigger finger. I blame his small hands.

    Is not going to the last couple of rounds of the PGA a Title IX violation? [/crossthread]

    What's sad is you can't admit you were wrong and quietly move on.

    Your original "poll tax" response hit Old Tony levels on the disingenuousness scale.

    Actually, what's sad is just about everything you've defended on this thread. You really need to examine the "no moral leg to stand on" theory.

    Or maybe you've just been kidding about all this. There's a lot of that going around.
