Hes not wrong. We almost did have nuclear war.

Because of his stupidity and assholery toward North Korea.

He succesful prevented nuclear holocaust by being voted out before he could make everything even worse

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.

How does that thought cross their mind?

Because black man scary, that's why.

That wasn't even close to a nuclear war. The real threat was nuking the hurricanes. Just imagine what could have happened if Atlantis retaliated. /s

…Florida sinks into the sea? I’m good with that.

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!

I rememeber when the Richter scale for earthquakes went to 5….

In any case… soon:tm: Florida will mostly be under water. Literally

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.

Alright, I'll tell ONI that they're wasting their time keeping tabs on a country with nukes and just enough deranged to potentially try to use them.

North Korea is not a threat and never will be a threat unless attacked. They are just hungry and making a show. Fucking Americans man.....

Hey now, most Americans know NK is not a threat. Just not the dumbass ex president.

I know that, and you know that, but you're talking about a guy that seriously considered nuking a hurricane.
