That 'Armada' Heading To North Korea? Actually, It Sailed South

quote [ "We are sending an armada, very powerful," Trump told Fox Business News, warning that Kim Jong Un "is doing the wrong thing." ]

OK, so much for being on the verge of war with NK. So...miscommunication, deliberate fake-out, or mutiny?

They probably asked Trump to point to North Korea on a map and then just sailed there.

Just turn all the maps in the White House upside down and Trump will never be the wiser.

We need to support our allies in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea against the terrorist warmongers who send exploding smartphones to the West!

Heh - I remember Samsung made a YUGE deal of manufacturing their very own processor for their last run of phones and pads, and then *kablooie*.

Oops.

This is just part of the continuing effort to eradicate any concept of "truth."

They are just turning around the ship for a better photo op. "Mission Accomplished".

I don't even know why this was news in the first place - Korea has always been part of the standard WESTPAC cruise deployment. The first thing I thought when I heard that a naval carrier group was heading to Korea, was "and?"

It was news because the Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful military the world has ever seen announced this carrier group was specifically headed towards NK in what can only be described as an aggressive, threatening manner.
So if the idea was to try to intimidate them with a show of force and a threat of using it, major fail.

Should we all feign surprise when dump lies/talksouthisass/bullshits everyone?

Frankly, anybody in the US is already accustomed to dumpsters lies, histrionics, and idiocy. Well, except the press.

I worry about other heads of state that suffer the same sickness sprinkled with paranoia.

I made a comment about this the other day. Kim Jong Un will misread the deployment as an act of aggression and launch an attack at S. Korea. Not funny. Now dumpster is considering knocking out of the sky their test rockets.

And on a side note, the guy supposedly responsible for the bombs in St Petersburg Russia's subway says he didn't know what the plan was. The kid looks like he's 16 and scared out of his mind.
