•Trump Warns: "Maybe It Is The Calm Before The Storm"•

President Trump met with his senior military staff and said they would discuss ISIS, Iran, and North Korea over dinner -- then at a group photo with his staff and their spouses, he suggested we were living in "the calm before the storm," without an explanation.

That video clip of him popping off is really a sadly ridiculous way for a world leader to present himself.

If it wasn't for the fact he's a teetotaler, I'd blame it on alcohol.

Or he could be referring to the S&*T Storm that will ensue in the media if he 'fires' Tillerson.

He likes putting people(especially the press), off their feed, and one way he does that is with cryptic statements He feels their unease makes it easier for him to get the upper hand in situations.

Been doing it for years in business.

I'm sure you're right about some of his business dealings, but Presidential stuff requires more finesse, imo.

No it does not.

Let me postulate the following:

When a person on the street, who has previously murdered many.

What action has Kim taken against the USA? Words do not count.

He has counterfeited millions of US dollars to help finance his nuclear program. That alone in legal terms constitutes an act of war.

Unfortunately, U.S. currency design hasn't been updated in decades. Modern bills in other wealthy nations are very colourful so cheap printer/copier output will look wrong, polymer-based so can't be made on a normal copier/printer/press including transparent areas which show they aren't completely of paper or other opaque materials, contain holograms which can't be scanned or photocopied, contain CDS/EURion patterns so modern colour scanners/copiers will refuse to even try to copy them, etc... packed with security features.

Counterfeiting in Canada has fallen by two-thirds in only four years because of these measures... you're making it too easy. :^)

But also remember DPRK is a nation state. It has access to tech to manufacture currency. It doesn't use a color copier it uses a printing press with the same color shifting inks, hologram ribbons, etc. Hell, they have to put that stuff in their own currency.

Ah thank you... I had not seen any of those new "Benjamins". The U.S. has flirted with getting rid of the hundred entirely due to it being the medium of choice for traffickers in narcotics, arms, etc. and other illegal activity, so if there are new ones is there a grace period to exchange the old ones before they are declared valueless? That would eliminate the most of the problem.

Also it doesn't appear they are polymer bills with transparent areas unfortunately.

“the easiest of them all” to counterfeit

Bourassa said he spent two years studying the details about currency security on the website of the U.S. Secret Service to learn how to produce his fake money.


President Trump should immediately begin bombing North Korea—with counterfeit versions of its own currency. An "act of war"?

If he is so good why did he get caught? har!
In the end, Bourassa’s arrogance caught up with him.

"Calm before the Storm....."

Consider Trump has always been a stream of consciousness type who often just 'says things' so maybe it means nothing. He just said it off the top of his head as a thought about what the press was thinking about all those military brass and spouses being with the President.

When he heard the gasp from the 'fake newsies' he decided to run with it and see how much they would make of it.

No preemptive strike on 'Rocket Boy'. No shakeup of the Cabinet.

Just Trump toying with his would be tormentors...............and laughing at them.

I forgot:) There are so many murders.
I saw a documentary on TV about the killing of his half-brother just a few days ago.
The two young women who did the act thought it was about a TV show!
On February 13 this year, Kim Jong-Nam, half-brother of North Korea's dictator Kim Jong-Un, walks into Kuala Lumpur's airport. Two hours later he is dead. Within a few days two young women are arrested for the murder. But images from surveillance cameras show how at least four men from North Korea direct the attack - a graduated poison kill. This is the unlikely story of a bitter family feud, secret agents, international arms trade and one of the deadliest chemical weapons available: VX.

You think they knew that they should kill a person.
Maybe, but it doesn't make sense to me.
The two young women are from Indonesia and Vietnam.
And handling the VERY toxic agent VX...
They are very lucky to be alive after the act.

Today it's not about how big a nuclear weapon can be.
It's about miniaturizing the weapons so one could use it "tactical".
Still the miniaturized weapons have about the same yield as Nagasaki bombs.
The problem with this is of course that it make it more easy to use.
I will probably be around when the first nuke device in war explodes:(

Watched Documentary The BOMB. Thinkin' might give some CRITICAL THINKING Thoughts 'bout this NOKO Thang.

Since Docu showed Many Animals put in BOMB Blast radii for 'data', I Only Came Away with Same Thoughts I've Always Had: Animals, Insects, Fish, Birds are Innocent.

Humans. NOT.

If, as So Many LEFTISTs are Saying: dAt Gun Manufacturers, GOPTers, and dA Like are RESPONSIBLE fO Vegas, I Feel CRITICALLY THINKING Like, dat All NOKO Citizens are RESPONSIBLE fO dA Government and LEADER they have, and I HAVE NO SYMPATHY when OUR BOMBS KILL EVERYONE of Them. Along with FAT BOY. You Know. Dear Leader.

So, Let's Get This STORM ROARING. This CALM Shat SUCKS.

I LOVE LEFTIST CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS

Say GOoD Bye to DEAR LEADER Yap

May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON. GOoD JUDGEMENT and LOVE and ORDER!!!!!
