And many are wearing "green" (a colour associated with being naive), doesn't mean they believe "the Donald"...

Nothing like a couple missiles fired against North Korea to take the focus off of wiretaps....

Discussion is locked

and needed a distraction yourself to post a thread that has nothing to even talk about. If I hadn't asked, some people would have been hunting all over search engines to find out who was tossing missiles around..........talk about 'fake news'.

IF they did "hunt all over" they would have found THIS

TOKYO — The Trump administration made a clear break Thursday with diplomatic efforts to talk North Korea out of a nuclear confrontation, bringing the United States and its Asian allies closer to a military response than at any point in more than a decade.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that 20 years of trying to persuade North Korea to abandon its nuclear program had failed and that he was visiting Asia “to exchange views on a new approach.”

U.S. military deploys advanced defensive missile system to South Korea, citing North Korean threat

The U.S. military began deploying an advanced defensive missile system to South Korea on Monday, a long-awaited move that was agreed upon with the government in Seoul last summer and follows a series of provocations by North Korea.

The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system does not use warheads and is designed to shoot down enemy ballistic missiles like the ones launched by Pyongyang into the Sea of Japan on Sunday. The deployment comes despite protests from Chinese officials, who have said repeatedly over the last year that it is threat to Chinese security.

Yes...and NO missiles
Mar 19, 2017 4:03PM PDT

other than N.Korea's have been launched....again, pointing out that NONE were fired AT N.Korea as you suggested.

TRUMP didn't start ANY of this crap with that whacked out country, JP.....it's been going on for years with OTHER presidents doing NOTHING about it other than appeasing them just for them to lie and continue on rather than stop. You are acting as if Trump (or any OTHER president of the USA) should just continue on in that fashion. That's what's happened with Iran as well and China with their island building.

IF military force is required to shoot down NK's missiles to send that message finally, it will be done. China has washed their hands of NK so won't help bring them in line anymore. BUT as your link states, "The United States AND its Asian allies" WILL.

Green??

It's also associated with being envious and, lately, a desire to be friendly to Mother Earth. You chose a word that, itself, has multiple applications but none I know of that indicate a deliberate act of using poor judgment.

Do you think Trump is 'green" (with envy)

Do you think Trump is 'green"/with envy when it comes to Mother Earth and the EPA?

EPA hit hardest as Trump budget targets regulations

President Donald Trump's administration on Thursday proposed a 31 percent cut to the Environmental Protection Agency's budget, as the White House seeks to eliminate climate change programs and trim initiatives to protect air and water quality.

The EPA would sustain the biggest cut of any federal agency in the White House 2018 budget, as Trump seeks to clear away regulations he claims are hobbling U.S. oil drillers, coal miners and farmers.

The proposal would slash funding for enforcing regulations, fighting water pollution, cleaning up sites contaminated by toxic waste and promoting energy-efficient appliances.
