Trump lies about Korea
Ten days ago, Donald Trump and his administration announced that they were sending a fleet of U.S. warships to the Korean Peninsula in response to the escalating antics of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un. But after Kim set off a missile test on Sunday, which was expected because it marked the birthday of his grandfather Kim Il-sung, the U.S. fleet had no response. That’s because the U.S. fleet never went to the Korean Peninsula.

Several members of Donald Trump’s military leadership, including Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis and Admiral Harry Harris, had publicly and clearly stated that U.S. forces were on their way to the Korean Peninsula in response to North Korea. But as the Washington Post (link) and New York Times (link) have now both determined, that never happened. The facts reveal that the fleet was nowhere near where U.S. leaders claimed. Instead the U.S. fleet in question has been down in the Indian Ocean, closer to Indonesia and Singapore, and was more than three thousand miles away from North Korea on the day that everyone involved knew Kim would fire off a ceremonial missile test.

So why the subterfuge? That’s open to interpretation. The U.S. military made false public statements about the matter, but it may have done so in an attempt at tricking Kim Jong-Un into believing that U.S. warships were on their way to attack him, in the hope of convincing him to back down from his missile test. It’s also possible that the U.S. military made these false public statements because it wanted to trick the American public into believing action was being taken toward North Korea when it was not. However their specific motive for these lies cannot be proven, at least not yet.

But what is clear, based on the facts, is that Donald Trump’s military leadership publicly claimed U.S. forces were en route to North Korea when they were instead headed even further away from North Korea. And because it’s impossible for them not to have known where their own warships were, it can be confirmed that they were not mistaken, and instead they were lying. So we rate the Trump administration’s claim as False.

Get to bed early tonight, my friend. Maybe tomorrow you'll wake up to a better day.

I'm not your friend. Your use of that term is disingenuous and typical of your falseness.

The deletions were warranted.

Says the guy disingenuously wishing people well today. Oh, you've already forgot what you
posted in the last hour. Your short term memory is worse than I thought. You are a hypocrite, in any case, pal.
And wrong about the deletions, buddy.

Think what you will.... they will stay deleted. And I will continue to do my job as mod as long as Saint wants me to do so.

Do you really think Ebonics and Esperanto are bad? I'm surprised at that sort of thinking.

But not as surprised that the media is actually making an issue out of Trump's military deception.

The left and the media are clearly not fit for leadership. I am just thankful that we finally have a president who knows what he is doing and leaving everybody who second guesses him in the dark.

It's a damn good thing the media doesn't know exactly what Trump intends to do. I actually don't want to see reporters being executed for Treason. I hope Trump keeps fooling the idiots.

There's nothing wrong with Esperanto or Ebonics.

Then if you can't give me a reason for deleting my post about Esperanto or Ebonics I can't understand why you did it.

Z doggie can't can't Kant remember his reason.
The time stamp is the clue. I've cautioned him before about interneting so early
in the day. He just wakes up and decides he needs to tear something down, especially
something that's someone else's.

If there is any resistance he just breaks more stuff. Never his own stuff though.

You can't understand
I know.... you posted it. If you understood why it was a bad post, you wouldn't have posted it.

Can only talk about others... not a creative or original thought in his head... look back. You'll notice that EVERY single post of his is reactive.
