Donald Trump and his posse are currently touring Asia, where the old man can bask in the sweet adoration of people who just need to be nice to him long enough to prevent a nuclear holocaust. Yesterday, President Lowered Expectations addressed the South Korean National Assembly, where he reminded them that Asians like golf! Especially when they can play on a beautiful, luxurious Trump course.
The consensus view of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was to invade Cuba. The Russians had tactical nuclear weapons positioned on the beaches. It was very difficult for President Kennedy because he'd been a Lieut. (JG) during World War II and as he said, these were the guys who had won it.
But both JFK and RFK had recently read Barbara Tuchman's excellent book about the start of World War I. Granting that more recent historiography suggests her primary thesis is not correct, the point of the book is that the origins of The Great War lie in misunderstands, blunders, and serious errors. There is a quote at the end from after The War when the Chancellor of Germany was asked how it got started. "If we only knew."
What is important - and the reason most of us are alive today - is that both the President and his brother took that lesson to heart. They weren't going to start World War III in the Caribbean Sea by mistake.
As we approach another sad anniversary of President Kennedy's assassination, I highly recommend one of the excellent documentaries about the Cuban Missile Crisis: "DefCon 2." There's another good one (always a wise idea to watch a couple) and I'll look up the name of it.
Is The Donald gonna golf in Vietnam? He might want to consider this anecdote from a Vietnam veteran:
"This colonel was playing golf one day and he hit his ball into the rough. When he asked the Vietnamese caddy to help find the ball the caddy declined. So the colonel walked into the rough. He found his ball all right. But there was a catch. HE HAD AN UNPLAYABLE LIE BECAUSE NEXT TO HIS BALL WAS A HUGE COBRA. Now does he get a two club length drop? LOL."
By Ereshkigal's bitter vaginal secretions, this guy's a fucking embarrassment. I can only hope that the rest of the world considers him only a temporary aberration.
My biggest nightmare is we will get into a Cuban Missile Crisis like situation or a war that turns into a quadmire. I shudder to think what Trump will do if he is stuck in a situation where he has to back down or even admit he is wrong.

Goodwill Libel! (I've gotten some fine apparel from them. Salvation Army also too.)
He was probably making bears in his "continence undergarment" when that photo was taken.

Then Trump Korea-splained Korea to the KoreansTaken directly from the World Almanac no doubt. It sounds like a 4th grader's report for history class.
"Why a country of samurai warriors" can't shoot down ballistic missiles?

And that's just the stuff we've heard about. A shonda fur die goyim, the grandson of Holocaust survivors.
I feel so bad for his former classmates, who couldn't wait to graduate and NEVER HAVE TO SEE HIM AGAIN
I know. It kills me. Even W would have the chef (who he called "Cookie") whip up some awesome Tex-Mex.
He prefers pilots who don't get shot down.
I wish I was Tom Hanks
And they get pissed when you call them soldiers, too.
It's a shame that US average life expectancy is only 78.
