Trump Out Kongs Kim

The Wall Street Journal reports North Korea’s Kim Jong-un has “Backed[s] Off Guam Missile-Attack Threat“.  Perhaps, it was Donald Trump’s channeling of “Dr. Strangelove’s” Major T. J. “King” Kong that persuaded him.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has decided not to launch a threatened missile attack on Guam, Pyongyang’s state media reported on Tuesday, but warned that he could change his mind “if the Yankees persist in their extremely dangerous reckless actions.”

McCain Says Russia Guilty of ‘Act of War’

If CNN reports it, it must not be ‘fake news’.  From CNN, “McCain: Russian cyberintrusions an ‘act of war’“.  An observation before the money quote, however.  It’s not all about you and Lindsay becoming relevant again, John.  Thank God you don’t have a ‘button’ and a ‘red phone’ and a 03:00 am call.

Sen. John McCain said Friday that Russia’s alleged meddling in the 2016 presidential election amounted to an “act of war.”

The Arizona Republican, who is chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, also has scheduled a hearing for next week on foreign cyberthreats to the US, which will also focus on Russian cyberhacking, a committee aide told CNN earlier Friday.

I can’t wait for the revised lyrics of John and Lindsay’s hit song, “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Iran“.
