It didn't work the first time, Korea has been at war ever since. We did not win in Korea.

We should be way beyond the need to childishly taunt and threaten others with nuclear weapons. Regardless of the POTUS.

We're supposed to have evolved. Learned from the past, grown. Lead by example


We can't allow ourselves to be nuclear thugs Robbie.
My point is...taunts and threats have ALWAYS been used in negotiations.

Sure, if our diplomats are sipping tea with their pinky fingers extended as they negotiate a deal with the Swedish ambassador... then no threats are needed.

But when dealing with backward country's who only respect strength? It requires manning up and a little bit of trash talking.
