I don't see things in terms of heroes and villains.

you may not but CNN has created that narrative

Trump, who should know better, is responding in the same petulant and short-sighted way the applies to most issues.

after coming off a historic diplomatic victory in the UN

which one actually matters?

and you've got right now a 2 or 3% chance of outright war between nuclear states. I don't know about you, but that's 2 or 3% too high.

it's always been that high

NK is not the issue, anyway. China is

that's why the UN victory was such a scary moment for the partisans and why they had to push a narrative that makes Trump the villain

that kind of plays into Scruffy's point. what does the media seek to accomplish? push Trump into a corner so that he actually launches nukes at NK? they're either pushing him to do this or trying to make him look bad for partisan reasons (while still pushing him to do this). that's why Scruffy said what he did. if he media truly cared about the SKs, they'd suck up their pride and praise Trump for how well he's handled this situation GENERALLY. instead, they can't help but attack Trump to promote tehir partisanship which may actually raise tensions into actual war. that's just terrible shite
