them being near North Korea. CNN So much for not telegraphing your moves Trump. What intelligence will he give away next? US submarines pick up enemy communications, etc.

(3,148 posts)There's going to be all kind of mistakes and rule violations that the news won't be able to give the proper attention. Chirs Hayes used to do a "Trump Top Ten list". It covered anything Donny said that other candidate would have lost or been kicked out.
Looks like we need a top twenty incomptent or downright stupid Donny Administration action list now.

(118,933 posts)because I talk by seeing pictures and then describing them. I can't judge what I or someone else is saying at the time. But I know it so try hard not to get baited into situations where I say something before I think about it. Trump needs a plan for intelligence. Like maybe a pat answer of the day on all daily military issues that he practices before he goes out in public.

He is a total idiot and can't remember what is secret and what is not.

(39,171 posts)Where else would you expect our submarines to during this crisis? Secondly, that statement was so general as to provide no meaningful military information. And finally, NK has no means to detect and track US submarines.

(5,103 posts)I did not know that President JFK required ALL correspondence going out to pass by him first during those twelve days of October.
He guaranteed America's words during the crisis.
tRump lost the Carrier Battle Group, (armada). He and his stooges said the Vinson was diverted from Australia to North Korea and followed it up with threatening bullcrap talk.
Fact is, the group is still heading for Australia.
How can he keep track of submarines when he can lose a carrier battle group?
I thought of this: Dr. Jeffrey Pelt: Andrei... you've lost another submarine?
