You seem to be have the delusional idea that 'intelligence agencies' reflect in some way the first word in that phrase.  ;)
Before we work on Artificial Intelligence shouldn't we address the problem of natural stupidity.

One hopes not, but I suspect he has the actual codes so we should be very afraid! :o

Just to point out that Japan does not have nuclear weapons and is strongly against anyone having them their experience as having been the only nation that has suffered from them informs this. Part of the while issue with NK is that they would be able to target Japan.

Quite correct about Japan but they are calling for a reversal of that decision due to North Korea.

And she has demonstrated her total lack of understanding of the situation in Japan. An hour at the Peace Park and Museum in Hiroshima would be very instructive.

Hey silly  Billy?


Actually, it was no lack it was just an omission on my part.  I am afraid, I don't copy and paste from news threads as you do.
I actually watch officials and officers from America speaking in person on the tv.
I have over the years had discussions about Hiroshima and Nagasaki on forums. My great Uncle was a Japanese prisoner of war and came back like stick insect having suffered much at the hands of the armed forces of Japan. It was the events of the bombings which kept them from Nuclear weapons. But North Korea has now caused them to have second thoughts. What has got into HH I know who you are but you think it won't come back to bite you on the bottom. My great Uncle Joe was an original Dessert Rat. Our family have military history and my great grandfather fought in the first world war too.

My own Father was in the forces. What military action have you seen or  your family been a part of?

Not to mention my youngest brother and a sister who also went into the forces.

What was the omission exactly?

So, Sassy, of what relevance is the WW2 record of your sundry relatives (one of whom ate rodents for pudding, apparently) to current events in the far east?

It's all very well saying Trump will disrupt the US political system and it certainly needs shaking up, but he's in for at least four years. It's entirely possible we won't survive his presidency.

 Seen on another site:
"Trump has two parts to his brain; the left an the right.
On the left side, there's nothing right.
On the right side, there's nothing left."

The North Korean despot refers to Trump as deranged, and whilst that appears to be the case, it is a pot and kettle statement as Kim Jong-un appears to be in that category too. ::)

Yes, but I feel incredibly uncomfortable about the fact that I agree with this fat deranged megalomanic with a stupid haircut* on this subject.

*Kim Jong Un, not Donald Trump.

Apparently there was an NFL match at Wembley and pretty much both teams, the trainers and the owners did a "kneel down" protest which was a yuge FU to Trump.

To be fair, though many on the ;religious right'* are under the impression that the flag and anthem are, in some way, sacred icons, and failure to respect them is worse than blasphemy.


~* - oxymoron alert.

An interesting talk on BBC Radio 4 this morning.

in A Point of View at 8.50 this morning, Andrew Sullivan says that Donald Trump is teaching America that the way to the top is to lie, bully and cheat. He considers the consequences for aspects of American government and life.

You can hear it on iPlayer radio.

I think in order to be fully Trumpian one would need to have NPD.
