US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Sunday his diplomatic efforts will continue as long as they possibly can despite the saber-rattling on both sides of the Pacific.
"Those diplomatic efforts will continue until the first bomb drops," Tillerson said on CNN's "State of the Union."

Naw.

[CountDeMoney]

Naw.

Yeah, well if it's all the same to you, I'm not going to put my ducats on this crew at the MGM Grand sports book, thanks.  I'll go with the Jets and the points.

It's a lovely football. It is nice and very clean. Best nuclear football ever.

I'd settle for a decapitation strike on the leadership.

For real?

You think a pre-emptive attack on North Korea's leadership is the best course of action?

You've considered the risk of the 25 million people in Seoul's capital area being subject to intense artillery bombardment, you've considered the potential cost in American lives and treasure if the region gets destabilized and the US gets drawn into an extended conflict, and you've considered the risk of destabilizing the North leading to the creation of millions of refugees..'m. and you think "seems like the best course of action"?

I'm not sure that there is a good course of action with regards to North Korea, but I'm pretty sure that waiting around until they develop missiles that can reliably hit the US is a bad idea.

I doubt anyone will ally with or even trust the US after it sacrificed an ally because the the American President was unwilling to tolerate a situation that the ally has tolerated for 60 years.

Yeah there's a significant reputational risk to the US if triggers a conflict that results in significant civilian casualties in an allied country.

[HVC]

Yeah, I'm such a whiny little bitch, I'm going to act like one right now.

Did you give another one the bmolson treatment?

[CountDeMoney]

Don't fret, he's just pouting.  Give him a quaalude, he love me again.

Bumping as there's been an upswing in the confrontation in the last 48 hours.

Bumping as there's been an upswing in the confrontation in the last 48 hours.

And what upswing is that?  That we've threatened China now?  That we're replacing incompetence at State with impetuousness?

  That we're replacing incompetence at State with impetuousness?

Tillerson wasn't completely incompetent during his tenure at State. I'm sure he got some pretty good deals for Exxon.
