Trump’s Boring, Utterly Terrifying Warmongering
“To be clear: The president would be putting at risk an American population the size of a medium-size U. S. city — Pittsburgh, say, or Cincinnati — on the assumption
that a crazy and undeterrable dictator will be rationally cowed by a demonstration of U. S. kinetic power,” he wrote.
I will not repeat the mistakes of past administrations that got us into this very dangerous position.”
Trump had in the audience the parents and siblings of Otto Warmbier, an American student who was sentenced to 15 years in a North Korean forced-labor camp,
and who died after being sent back to the United States with severe injuries.
A few hours before Donald Trump’s first State of the Union speech on Tuesday evening, the news broke
that the White House was scrapping its choice for ambassador to South Korea, a position that remains unfilled a year into the administration.
