think we re about to be hit with a nuclear device from north korea, we re going to preempt and hit them with a package of 30 weapons, a disaster. so the question is what do we do now diplomatically, economically, covert action, what do we get the chinese to do to make sure that isn t the outcome. that s where we re headed. 1, 2% chance. we re not likely, but nuclear war is unthinkable. so it s on the table right now. and do you agree with that answer from the general and a subset would be how do you walk it back from where we are now? well, this is a problem when you really increase rhetoric you make it very personal. i think mr. trump is limiting our own options by talking this way, because right now we re trying to get international coalition together to press the kim regime through sanctions and other measures. but we re now looking at so i think this is just really counterproductive, this kind of
will cheer if they get to the end zone but somehow want colin kaepernick drawn and kwaurtd. a lot of reasonable people who understand what these protests were about and understand that there are legitimate issues involved nonetheless had some misgivings about them being directly attached to the national anthem because they see the anthem representing a variety of things. not just the nation s flaws and short comings but its ideals and its aspirations. that isn t just about the military or just about the police. it s also about the people who marched across the he had men pet advertise bridge. it s about frederick douglas, who was a patriot who until recently donald trump was under the impression was still with us. not the case. but there is a legitimate argument to be made that you could appeal to more people who are persuadable if you separated the protests from the anthem itself. or if you did like bruce maximum well, an unknown player until
