Karma, it's gonna bite us hard one day.

Ohhh, he's probably waiting to use that one on Lil' Kim.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if yesterday's bombing was, in part, a demonstration for Kimmy.

This is probably closer to the truth:

That the United States is now again using this type of ordnance reflects the changing nature of the foe in Afghanistan, and the fact that the Islamic State, like the Taliban and Al Qaeda, is now also using caves and tunnels.

Trump keeps claiming that the previous administration "...did nothing for eight years.". Which is an outright lie as indicated by the attached DoD link. He is acting like carrier task forces and other U.S military presence on the Korean Peninsula is something brand new and created by him.......Which is utterly ridiculous at best. I was twice part of carrier groups patrolling near North Korea in the 1980s. Of course the implication is that he has now strapped on his cape and come to the party to show us his (allegedly) big balls. Call it grandstanding or showboating, it's all bullshit political salesmanship.
Your president is just grandstanding for the rubes in his base.
Is that you?
I also believe these things are mainly distractions from the circus that his administration has become among other things. "Look, a MOAB!".............

Guess OBL is still alive in the GOP bubble!

This sounds like the second coming of shock and awe.
What's the next step in Afghanistan? Probably nothing.
And Syria? Waiting for Russia to act as China sits on the fence.
Iraq? Probably forgotten for now.
And N. Korea? Kim is itching for a fight and Trump is inviting him to do just that.
From Fox News.

"North Korea is a problem, the problem will be taken care of," Trump said.
North Korea's Vice Foreign Minister Han Song-ryol said Friday Pyongyang is ready to launch a preemptive strike if the U.S. shows any sign of "reckless" military aggression.
The foreign minister added that North Korea will keep building up its nuclear arsenal in "quality and quantity," and said the country is ready to go to war if that is what Trump wants.

Yeah! Trying very hard to generate home support through spectacular or surprising military action.

I thought the same thing. It was a statement to Kim, telling him what to expect if he does his test.

If so, it's a threat we likely won't act upon. There are literally thousands of North Korean artillery pieces within range of Seoul.
