They doesn't get anything they want by attacking us, or anyone. They get lots and lots by talking scary, and making themselves into as big a threat as possible. That image is currency, in various negotiations.

The more you take these bozos seriously, the more they get to play you.
Then what would happen?--We would loose thousands of our citizens.

It is imperative we take bozos seriously who incessantly threaten us with
nuclear strike while acquiring openly the means to do so.

Think the world will continue to take us seriously now that we have someone as unbalanced as Kim Jung Un in The White House?

The 'mutual assured destruction' condition has kept the missiles in their silos up to now. Why would it not work with the North Koreans?

They are smart enough to build nukes. They are also smart enough to figure out we can't and won't give in to nuclear blackmail, and the endgame of 'chicken' with us would be them as the great example of what massive retaliation actually means.

The nukes are great things for NK, they make them invasion proof. But they are not a new and intolerable threat to the US. Like, we tolerate Russian and Chinese missiles. NK ain't nothin' new.

Chris, you have to understand;

In this country, Republicans think the Nazis were LEFT wing.......because of the name, National So(c)ialist German Workers Party. They're too stupid to realize the name was part of the "Big Lie".

They also consider the left to be pussy ass, crybaby wimps who hate the military and cower in their "safe place" if you upset them. The Nazis were many horrible things. But, I wouldn't say "cowardly" was one of them.

Marching six million unarmed souls into gas chambers seems pretty cowardly to me. YMMV.

Bullies tend not to see other bullies as cowardly.

Thank you sooooooooo much for this clarification. Two days ago I got several private messages at AK with political content on exactly this issue. It was shocking.

This guy told me that he had been hurt by a drunk car driver seriously about 15 years ago and since then he has read hundreds and hundrets of books, most of them political books.

Okay, in our conversation he told me that Merkel is a left extremist and similar shit like that, altough he is actually not stupid. I stopped the conversation yesterday when he sent me a youtube video with Geert Wilders with the comment: "I really appreciate this guy".

This man is very intelligent, but he is mentally sick, in my opinion. By the way, not an American, he is from Canada.

The alt-right can be very seductive to certain personalities.

In my opinion it was an act of collective mental disability triggerd by the mental disability of the Barking Monster.

The word coward/cowardly does not express the attitude of the Nazis especially regarding to the Holocaust in an appropriate manner, it sounds to me like playing down.

Of course I got what you've trying to express, friend John.
