It was an anti-tank weapon.
The sort we test every week.
Didn't even make a detectable IR plume.

The Iranian nuke deal was the worst deal in history even though they didn't pursue nukes afterwards. But we should give N Korea the benefit of the doubt because Trump is in love with Kim even though Fox warned for years about any meeting without preconditions.
Sigh. Everyone on the forum wants to play dumb. Just like Obama, Trump is doing just fine now that he's stopped tweeting. That's not what I'm taking issue with, and you know it.
A. that's what your fellow Republican idiots at FoxNews---as well as those in Congress---TOLD HIM TO DO!!!
This from the guy who thinks Rachel Maddow and her Russian nonsense is keeping Trump from dealing Putin.
Obama told trump that the most urgent crisis he faced coming into office is N Korea.a fan wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 6:06 pm No, I'm laughing at someone with your understanding of foreign policy is so far down the rabbit hole with this partisan nonsense that you've managed to convince yourself that Trump is a master Statesmen, the likes of which neither you or VDH have ever seen.
So the reason that "the world was freaking out" is that a full grown adult in the White House was using the communication device better suited for a middle school child to call a foreign leader with nuclear weapons a "rocket man". The world thought the infant in the White House would look to show guys like you just how tough he was by nuking someone simply because he could.
The world "heaving a sigh of relief" is after Trump stopped with his stupid tweets, and started acting like an adult for five minutes.
And what do you do about these childish rants? You spin, and spin, until suddenly Trump is Alexander the Great.
Keep on keepin' on.
Yes. And Bush and Obama played their part, so Trump could play his.
Trump's not the only one who won't be able to deal with Putin. Neither will his predecessors. We've hyped our Russophobia so much, there's no backing down now. We're in for another long Cold War.
Obama could have done what Trump did, if he'd been willing to play the military card, then meet with Kim, like Trump did.a fan wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 10:30 pmYes. And Bush and Obama played their part, so Trump could play his.
Where I take issue with you, as you doggone well know, is when you hammer Obama for playing his part (holding the line and the sanctions), while praising Trump for playing his. It's partisan absurdity, and you know it.
I've been consistent with Trump from the word go. I despised the tweeting and raising the temperatures, so he could take credit when he turned the heat down. And I despised his game of telling his followers N Korea was no longer a nuclear threat.
A fully rational, logical position.
That is such a crock....the Rs would never allow BHO to do the exact same things they are now cheering..since it's a R!!
He's the President. The (R)'s couldn't have stopped him from meeting & opening negotiations with Kim any more than they were able to stop him from negotiating with Iran & lifting sanctions.foreverlax wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 9:47 amThat is such a crock....the Rs would never allow BHO to do the exact same things they are now cheering..since it's a R!!
You saying so makes it even more pathetic.
Yup...so he owns it. Same then, same now.He's the President.
A U.S. President meeting with Kim was likely overdue. Good for Donald Trump for taking that step (after all, nothing else was showing much progress over the past decades. Clinton probably came the closest until his progress was shut down by... who was that again?) Anyway, good for Trump. If only he had taken it seriously, which of course we all know he didn't. No, instead he marched into the summit with no more planning than what his gut told him. And that's not because he believed it was the way to go, it's because he doesn't have the mental capacity (or curiosity) to learn something. Anything.old salt wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 5:43 pm Awww. Those meanie GOP Senators kept Obama from meeting with Kim. He wanted to do it, but he didn't want to tarnish his Nobel Prize legacy by being in the same room & photo with such an uncivilized dictator. Tut, tut, tut.
Trump called out those meanie GOP Senators in the primaries & told 'em he'd meet with Kim. Trump mopped the debate floor with them.
Trump only met with Kim, after an unprecedented show of military resolve which had the world freaking out when they lost track of one of our W Pac carrier groups for a couple days. McCain tried to discourage Trump from meeting with Kim, just as he had with Obama. The rest of the world heaved a nonpartisan sigh of relief when Trump agreed to meet with Kim. ...& you're still whining about Obama.
