Uh, no.  Not a blink.  Particularly when North Korea can't see shit from that far anyway.

It's a courtesy to the rest of the world.

Admiral Yi

Blink or saber rattle, those are the only two choices.

CountDeMoney

Oh, bullshit.  It's a courtesy to the Chinese, Russians and our allies that we're not launching ICBMs at this particularly sensitive time.

US 'blinks' ?

No, going to let them do it all on their own.

Well, I think they have only one decision point left, climb down or do 'something' and the next/final move is the S.Koreans/Americans.

Yip, claim a glourious victory and return to status quo.

Hand them an easy way to claim a victory so they might be happy to go back to starving their citizens for the next few years, at no cost to ourselves. Not a blink, and the alternative wouldn't have been a saber rattle. Just giving an out to the bad guy in a hostage negotiation.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

You need to jog off some of the fat that's settled in your brain.  I was mocking the type of individual who's going to condemn the US regardless of what we do.  To quote the highly respected Shareholder Representative on the board of The North Sea Pipeline, "Common decency forbids me from naming any names, but we all now I'm talking about mongler."

I agree with Fredo that's it calculated face-saving gesture.

I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

QuoteSources at Dyess AFB have confirmed to Douglass that seven planes were launched at night a couple of days ago. Two of them were spares: they returned to the airbase near Abilene, Texas, while the remaining five continued to their final destination.

Unfortunately, the source could not say where the Lancers eventually landed.

I guess my bromance with the Administration is over. Sucks that they pussed out right when we could have cornered that fat millennial fuck.
