Yes. Many of the people of North Korea were really sad Kim Jong Il ...


sad. If you know anything about North Korea you'd know how brainwashed they are. If you don't know, read up. The Kims are considered a god in North Korea. No you don't get North Korea. Don't act like you do.

Is Iran bad as North Korea? No. They don't consider the current regime gods. Do they love their regime? No. However, they have a great disdain for America. That's real. One way to rally a group/people/nation is the find a common enemy. It's been used for centuries. In fact, it happened after 9/11. It's what Trump does with his base. His blatant lies doen't matter because his propaganda against liberals trumps all. There is little rational thought. It's mostly driven by emotion.

Do you know why there is less panic in the markets? It's because of the comments from Iran which descalated the situatiin. Trump had a chance for days and didn't say a thing.

I'm always for waiting for the facts to come out. I've been waiting for a real strategy in the Middle East after his pull out in Syria. He still hasn't given us one. That's just reality.
