James Clapper, lying shack of sit.

[chiller]

And exactly why, Mr. Clapper, should we listen to you ?

[rolling_stone]

just saw clapper on cnn roflmao this liar hasn't got a clue about President Trumps negotiating methods and superiority...basic principle is to deal from strength..meet a threat by escalating the threat not backing down which shows weakness...Obama gave us this pile of crap...CNN was mind boggling biased, certainly not journalism. no wonder the liberal sheep are biased against the President, they are being brainwashed

[Alberta's Child]

The U.S. is building an empire. We’d probably allow North Korea to have all the nuclear weapons they want ... as long as they adopt the U.S. dollar as their reserve currency.

Jesus...

[hal ogen]

This bum should be either exiled or in prison.

[GOPJ]

Clapper? Isn't that the guy who thinks intelligence services should work for the benefit of liberal elites... especially those living in the wealthiest counties in the United States? Those counties clustered around Washington DC? He doesn't use the term 'deplorables' but you can see it in his eyes every time he opens his mouth.

An Intel head who is for sale needs to be made to disappear!

It is stupid of the US not to accept NOKO’s nuclear capability. It is guaranteed that NK will never voluntarily give up its ICBMs and/or nukes. The US has now painted itself into a corner and the only way out is by the use of force. Are we willing to use force and have we convinced NK that we will?

[Little Ray]

Shouldn’t that be “Treasonous Obama co-conspirator” James Clapper?

[dp0622]

YES!

It BOGGLES the mind that there is an investigation of Trump after THOUSANDS of laws and maybe HUNDREDS of lives were broken and taken by the obama regime, with the clinton allies.

I’m sorry. There SHOULD be some kind of qualification to vote. Basic IQ test or something. I dont know.

[Boomer]

Clapper is living proof that in government many times crap does indeed float to the top.

What a diaper load of Clapper Crap.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

And what did Clapper do about this?

Kiss Obama’s red ass?

[VTenigma]

Why isn’t this idiot in a cell?

[demsux]

Why can’t we put a laser beam right between Rocket Man’s eyes?

[Pagey]

Bttt!

This depends on what is meant by “voluntarily”. And we are far from being in a corner.

While it may appear that the US and S. Korea are at odds over approach, I believe this is really just “good cop / bad cop” to give the norks an “out”, as the Norks oil is cut off. Despite the ship to ship transfers that have occurred, those are insufficient to supply the North, and should diminish to a trickle with the light of day now on them. Kimmy can’t get far without petro...

Further, North Korea acquiring nukes cannot be allowed to stand, nor Iran allowed to acquire nukes. It’s bad enough that Pakistan and India gained them (tho’ almost impossible to prevent, especially in India’s case.) But at least S. Africa and Ukraine dropped out of the club, and neither Pak or India routinely threatens others with annihilation or engage in blackmail. Allowing N. Korea or Iran to continue sends a message that we cannot prevent ANYONE from going nuclear, and both are in regions that surely will, in response: S. Korea, Japan, possibly Taiwan, Vietnam is not actually out of the question, Saudi Arabia... Who knows who else might feel threatened and join in, in 10 - 20 years.

This is a GUARANTEE of disaster in the next 50 years or so, one that might well not involve N. Korea at all.

Trump’s bad cop “big button” tweet has libs all aflutter, but it is the right move / sends the right message: We will use whatever force is needed, if need be. “No oil” might do the trick.

Right on!!!
