QOTD: Kicking America's Allies

 

The deranged and petty Malignant Fascist threw a hissy fit yesterday against the annual joint military exercise with South Korea, praising his tyrannical friend Kim Jong Un and instructing Whiskey Pete Hegseth to limit our involvement this year.  The MF pointedly noted that South Korea had declined to join his disastrous war on Iran as a factor in his tantrum.  The Atlantic's Tom Nichols writes that this is a pattern with the mentally disturbed MF, cozying up to our adversaries and kicking our long term allies and blaming them for his failures:

"America and the rest of the world are now witnessing a public exhibition of narcissistic rage. Trump embarked on a war for personal glory, and what he got instead was ongoing humiliation. He clearly finds it all unbearable.

Trump both fears and respects the autocrats who rule Russia, China, and North Korea, and so he dares not cross them. Instead, he is seeking to assuage the psychic injury of his loss in Iran—including the American public learning of the shameful conditions to which he has subjected U.S. forces—by kicking America’s allies, the nations he can punish without fear that they will kick him back.

The Iran war was not the president’s failure, you see. Others failed the president. Those disloyal South Koreans, who every few years drag him into a needless confrontation with that respectful and peace-loving young man in Pyongyang, refused to help him topple the Iranian regime. And because Trump is unable to subdue Iran, unable to replenish stocks of U.S. weapons he should never have expended in this war, unable to take care of the service personnel he has put in harm’s way, someone is going to pay. The most convenient target he could find, at least for the moment, was South Korea."  (our emphasis)

As Nichols points out, when things go wrong, someone must be held responsible but never the MF. It's a foolish move and one sure to please Pyongyang, Beijing and Moscow, not to mention Teheran.

 It's worth noting that we maintain nearly 30,000 armed forces in South Korea, and this petty act by the MF makes their position far less secure.  And if the ignorant MF is wondering how Iran's missile production is so efficient, North Korea has been the source for missile technology, materials and technicians for decades, contributing to his failure in Iran.
