Osama Bin Ladin pulled off the biggest leveraged deal in history. Spending just $500,000 he triggered the USA to squander trillions on useless wars and the new National Security State of the NSA/CIA etc.
The Chicoms would never have fallen into this trap after being attacked. Same for Putin’s Russia. They would have gotten revenge asymmetrically at a much lower cost. For the ChiComs ol Sun Tsu’s rules would have been observed.
Aside from blowing trillions we have thousands of fine young men killed and crippled via George Bush’s futile wars. At very minimum we should not have engaged in Iraqi nation building. Now Iran is the beneficiary of Shiite ruled Iraq. But as certified fool Colin Powell said long ago....”You break it then you own it”. He got that one right.

I will admit I supported G Bush when he went into Iraq hunting after Saddam Hussein. I figured Saddam had those weapons of mass destruction. But I never believed or bought into Saddam being a sponsor of terrorism. Though Iran has always been the nation doing this.
Saddam got his rocks off brutalizing- terrorizing his own people within Iraqi borders. Not caring about funding terrorism outside Iraq.
The stupid things people with shorted out brains cells say oh wait it’s the left par.
A lot cheaper to just do what Trump is trying to do regarding Muslim immigration.
Americans got a tax cut.
The economy is booming.
Hispanic and African-American unemployment rates are at historic lows.
The ISIS “caliphate” is destroyed.
In the United States, MS-13 gang members are now afraid for their future, while American citizens finally have a sense their future is back.
Drives 'em nuts that we're MORE than words - we're actions - and results. Take that Morning Joe... and all the American phonies on the set with fake British accents... and those that bow to Brits with real accents and fake gravitas...
Grow up Morning Joe panel - we're out of high school and we're judged by RESULTS not who's most 'popular'...
Just Trump’s way of saying...
We can rain down he’ll on you with one command.
Someone please tell me what is inaccurate about that proposition.
“Demented, Deranged, Narcissistic Disorder”
All of these adjectives could be used to describe MSNBC, Morning Joe, et al.
Instead these people want negotiate with a lunatic in NORK, give away more of our money and still be vulnerable to a madman’s pursuit of nuclear ballistic missiles.
Back when Don Imus was on MSNBC he used to call Morning Joe “Banjo Boy.”
So right he was...
Joe should really ask Mika what the girls talked about in the girls locker rooms...
Is Joe’s office now an intern free zone?
Yeah, I heard of this same shit from the left when Reagan was president. “War Monger” “Too senile to be in charge of the nuclear code” “Reckless”, blah, blah.
All Reagan did was grind the Soviet Union into oblivion. Then Trumpster will do the same with the Norks and Mullahs.
This is hilarious! The leftist media idiots going crazy over it! As someone else put it, perfectly: Trump is just f*cking with kim.
The same media types who showed NO outrage over:
bammy and the 57 states remark
bammy and his open support for dictatorial *slamic regimes
bammy sending 30 billion to iran
bammy: future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.
bammy and hillary protecting their beloved in Benghazi, and allowing them to murder 4 Americans
So the media can go impale itself with a broomstick.
It’s called deterrence. Faced with the Soviet menace we adopted MAD, mutually assured destruction, as a deterrence to any nuclear war. With a rogue regime you remind them if they attempt to launch such a strike that their entire country will be vaporized and wiped of the map for all time.
Trump knows how to stick it to the phonies... he’s got their number.
BWahahahahah! Love it! Imus had his moments! Joe has none, is a hysterical suck up to the DC (and beyond) elites that listen/watch to him. I assure you Joe and Mika gets good advertisers compared to Limbaugh and Hannity
While Don Imus never was a suckup to anyone...except John Kerry which was bizarre.
I googled “Scarborough intern”. No clues on a dozen sites. The cause of her death remains a mystery to this day and may never be solved.
I disliked him before. I hate him now; he has blood on his hands just like Swimmer Kennedy.
They don’t get it. PDJT is the ultimate troll...and it’s hilarious, on the world stage no less. Nobody else has the n*ts to say what he does. They’re just content with the status-quo “diplomacy” that goes nowhere...in fact worse, encourages this kind of idiot to believe he’s something.
