FanboyOf91 Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Quote The New York Times version of events is deeply misleading, having turned a statement of the obvious by Tillerson into a revelation of a covert back-channel disarmament push. Of course, from time to time, the United States has engaged directly with North Korea using these channels — that is how poor, doomed Otto Warmbier was returned to his family. But if the State Department had secret talks that had just collapsed with North Korea, this is not how it would be announced or leaked. Perhaps a careful reader might have seen the bait-and-switch. But for our story, only one reader matters, and he is not a careful man. So the second part of this drama played out on a golf course in New Jersey. We’ve already seen multiple stories suggesting that President Trump gets his information from television and newspapers, not briefings. One of the reasons that leaks are so endemic to this White House is that staffers know that the easiest way to get something into Trump’s brain is to get it on “Fox and Friends” or “Morning Joe.” One of new White House chief of staff John Kelly’s first tasks has been to erect barriers to prevent bad information from inundating the president. In this case, the levee broke. According to a subsequent story in the New York Times, the president had been “caught off guard” by the news — small wonder, as it was a fiction — and was “upset.” An enraged Trump took to Twitter with a pair of tweets that promise to deepen the ongoing crisis with North Korea: ALWAYS TALK TO YOUR SECRETARY OF STATE FIRST YOU MORON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 1 hour ago, visionary said: Wonder why aggression is in quotes. Somebody trying to imply that what NK is doing isn't aggression? Granted, no, they haven't initiated an all-out shooting war. But calling it aggression is at least in the ball park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
