Just a touch triggered are we? Frightened of the dumpy little boggy man and his starving nation? Give me a break. I lived when the US was face to face with a superpower that had just as many nukes as we did, and the stones to use them.
NK isn't going to make a move that would end in their complete eradication. The little dictator fellow may be crazy, but he isn't stupid. He likes being the top dog, he likes his money, his women (or boy's), his life of ease and luxury, and his power. He's not about to throw that away in an attack that has no possible outcome other than his total destruction.
Don't be ruled by your fear, it will ruin your life.
Nope, just triggered by stupidity. I wouldn't call how I'm feeling fear but you're a complete anus if you aren't concerned by the escalating tensions that The UN won't back.

That doesn't change the fact that this text was sent. To those who received it, well that had to be scary. I'm sure few would have had the balls to say nah, Kim would never have done it.

To your stupidity I say again sir, fuc*wit!

...We never had to fear this kind of stuff under Obama or any other president...

Right, that whole Cuban missile crisis was all hogwash.

Hawaii official: This was my fault:

http://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2018/01/13/hawaii-missile-alert-human-error-sot.khon

Hats off to emergency administrator Vern Miyagi. He stepped up and immediately took responsibility for it, instead of throwing his employees under the bus - "This is my responsibility, so this is my fault" & "we will take action to prevent this from ever happening again".

We need more of that attitude in this country.

Good on him. Hopefully he doesn't get shitcanned for it. That would set a bad example where it's better to try to hide things under the rug than take responsibility. Rip him a new one then come up with a plan to prevent this from happening again.



We've gotten lucky a few times. That 1983 Soviet one is a great example that many people don't know about. Thankfully that Colonel was able to use logic and reason and not just trust skynet.

It's rare that we agree but I believe you are absolutely correct.

You should learn to express yourself without the use of insults or profanity, it comes across as immaturity.
As to your actual post, I don't care what the UN backs. If the US is the victim of a first strike, the US will retaliate.
NK has been working overtime to escalate it's war of words with the US, and trying to intimidate the world with their weapons. That isn't Trumps fault, he wasn't in office when it started. That he's a big mouth without a filter is unfortunate, but if the chubby little guy (I don't recall his name) is that unstable, he's going to do something stupid regardless of what Trump says.
NK can say whatever they want, and the little chubby guy can spout off all he wants, but the guys that run his military know what the outcome of an exchange with the US would be, they will all die. They probably don't want to die, they will almost certainly recommend that fighting the US will not be a good idea.

Does it even matter?

How many Hawaiins have bomb shelters and always stay within 10 minutes of the house?

I'd be willing to bet you any amount (up to a dollar) that we agree on more things than we disagree. Where we'll argue is over the approach.

Thank god for leadership. Trumps first comments since this incident, released just moments ago.



What a sad fucking joke.

Lighten up, he probably hasn't seen a twitter post about it yet. Once he does, I'm sure he'll blame Hillary for it.
I had a fantasy moment about a parallel universe.

First, the alert of imminent attack in Hawaii.

Then, 38 minutes later, the "false alarm" notice.

But in between, a tweet from President Asshole: "Heh-heh. I was just testing. . . . "

You know, I tried but then I was faced with the depth of stupidity those who would defend Trump and his Administration possess and gave up.

That's why I've never lived in a tornado-prone state...you could build the most awesome basement shelter ever, but if you're at work or at a restaurant or traveling or whatever, then it doesn't matter at all.

Is anybody watching this press conference? The guy isn't even getting fired. The head of the agency says "he feels really bad" and that there will be "lost of training".


FFS if you can convince an entire state that everyone is going to die and not get fired then what does it take to get fired in Hawaii emergency management services??? Would he have to rape the whole state?

Ok. What about people like me that aren't Trump supporters? You've been a bit abusive, for no other reason than I didn't share you're opinion.

This was just a preview for 2018. Trump won't start a nuclear war until he knows his days are numbered, either at the hands of a Democratic Congress or Bob Mueller.

Alright, I apologize. Came to the forum hot today. However, I loath Trump so much any time I see any one not blasting him for every breath he draws I think they're kind of stupid. There is nothing he or his presidency has to offer the country or the world. It may be true some fools are responsible for what happened in Hawaii but we wouldn't be in this position if it weren't for Trump being completely inept and an antagonizing prick. Regardless of whether Kim is truly a threat, Trump has escalated tensions not because it's the right thing to do but because he's a petulant child with nothing but foulness within every inch of his body. His Administration is propping him up in this so they are as disgusting as him.

According to emergency officials, it was part of a drill (ironic given the "not a drill" segment) and wasn't supposed to go public.

With that said, welcome to Trump's America, where the threat of an ICBM attack on Hawaii isn't just a fantasy.


Yea, NK wasn't developing missiles or building nukes under any prior president. Blame Trump, typical.

No problem. I'm fully aware that if I dish it out I better be strong enough to take it. I'm not a big fan of when I attack without provocation. I've become this person since Trump's election that feels any defense of him is provocation.
