the media proliferated this narrative before giving Trump time to even possibly respond

I think what I find most amusing about this thread is that @realists frequently respond to criticism by giving some variant of "but Obama/Clinton/whoever did such and such!" I remember calling that out here a couple of weeks ago:

i criticize all politicians on the same scale

if Obama makes the same mistake that Trump does, then i don't hold back. Obama's foreign policy had one major positive (normalizing relations with Cuba) and i attacked Trump for attacking that single FP positive

i did not support Trump's attacks on Syria

i'm not a Trumpkin. the media has become so unhinged and biased that i'm forced to defend him in the name of reality, though

As I explained in my first post in this thread, it was a "red line" from the moment he uttered it on TV. Instead of acknowledging that, which should have ended this thread, you went on about "owning your mistake" for thinking it was a tweet. No one thinks it wasn't a red line, and given that its condition was Fatboy making another threat, it was an empty threat, because there was no way it was going to be acted upon. It's something Fatboy would have said, and to be more specific, I'm talking about Kim.
