(12,608 posts)1. Didn't Trump say if NK did it again he will attack?
Saboburns
(2,807 posts)3. He sort of did, didn't he.
So now what does he do? He painted himself into a corner, and now he has no good options.
Its why previous POTUS never shot off their mouths like Trump. Cause now he eithermattacks NK or looks like a stupid and weak fool.
So, I dont know where this goes from here...

Cause he won't attack. he'll pressure Japan to do it.

And it looks like they don't even care. This is about as serious as it can get.
Trump will wag his finger and then look the other way.

(2,807 posts)5. I just saw something on twitter that it was 3 missiles fired today by NK
And at least one did overfly Japan and then landed in sea. Japan sent out major warning to its citizens in the north to take cover.
This is really bad.
