During a deposition in his civil case, the former president offered a series of defenses, digressions and meandering explanations of his political and professional dealings.
There are some things you read online that i just can't get out of my brain. One of those things was a random comment when trump came back from north korea, that said something like: after all these years under obama, i van finally rest easy, i can finally sleep at night, now that my family is save and we are not under constant nuclear threat anymore.
I get that people are paranoid and scared, and they hide at home with a gun under their pillow. But how the fuck does this thought crosses anyone's mind? From the guy who can barely say nuclear.
Give it a couple more years. Climate change is going to make each and every hurricane that hits Florida a Cat 5. Hell, the water might even get so hot they will invent a new Cat 6!
No, we didn't. At no point in any of our presidents' tenures was North Korea a nuclear threat, regardless of how the US or that president was treating them.
That's just patently untrue. They've never been capable of ICBM's but they have nuclear attack subs that Naval ASW sorties have been tracking for years because they can just pull up to the coast and start firing nukes.
In fact submarines are the most realistic nuclear threat we have, the time between launch and detonation is mere minutes compared to the orbital flight time of an ICBM.
Having nukes is not the same as a nuclear threat. India and Pakistan have nukes, but neither are nuclear threats. China has nukes and is not a nuclear threat.
