Trump tells Duterte of two U.S. nuclear subs in Korean waters: NYT
U.S. President Donald Trump told his Philippine counterpart that Washington has sent two nuclear submarines to waters off the Korean peninsula, the New York Times said, comments likely to raise questions about his handling of sensitive information.

Trump has said "a major, major conflict" with North Korea is possible because of its nuclear and missile programs and that all options are on the table but that he wants to resolve the crisis diplomatically.

North Korea has vowed to develop a missile mounted with a nuclear warhead that can strike the mainland United States, saying the program is necessary to counter U.S. aggression.

Trump told Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte Washington had "a lot of firepower over there", according to the New York Times, which quoted a transcript of an April 29 call between the two.

"We have two submarines — the best in the world. We have two nuclear submarines, not that we want to use them at all," the newspaper quoted Trump as telling Duterte, based on the transcript.

The report was based on a Philippine transcript of the call that was circulated on Tuesday under a "confidential" cover sheet by the Americas division of the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs.

In a show of force, the United States has sent the nuclear-powered USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier to waters off the Korean peninsula, where it joined the USS Michigan, a nuclear submarine that docked in South Korea in late April.

According to the Times, a senior Trump administration official in Washington, who was not authorized to publicly discuss the call and insisted on anonymity, confirmed the transcript was an accurate representation of the call between the two leaders.

U.S. officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, have said Trump discussed intelligence about Islamic State with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak at talks in the Oval Office this month, raising questions about Trump's handling of secrets.

Trump also praised Duterte for doing an "unbelievable job on the drug problem", the New York Times reported, a subject that has drawn much criticism in the West.

Almost 9,000 people, many small-time users and dealers, have been killed in the Philippines since Duterte took office on June 30. Police say about one-third of the victims were shot by officers in self-defense during legitimate operations.

Get this guy out of office now!

He is a liability to the worlds safety and health.

I don't know how anyone can take these conspiracy/alt-right nuts seriously.

Even if they're wrong they double down. Majority of their claim is easily debunked.

What a time to be alive.

Trump is one big mouth muddafugga. Either that muddafugga is on that treasonous shyt or he is the stupidest big mouth muddafugga that has ever lived. His big mouth ass is going to get some people killed. He is too foolish to be the President.

Even if they're wrong they double down. Majority of their claim is easily debunked.

What a time to be alive.

It's not about accuracy. It's about dominance in the conversation.

I heard a quote from someone on the global warming debate. Denialists who are paid to be denialists for oil companies aren't focused on winning the debate and viewing that as the win. They already claim they won by making it a political debate in the first place. Now you can get at least a sizable people to ignore facts and take a more ideological stance in your favor. It's as ridiculous as the theory of gravity is a right or left issue. Just by putting it in that framing, they won because all your logical "facts" no longer matter to the side that does not defend their side because they have facts on their side, but because it's now a part of their political beliefs.

The fact you now have to spend time debating easily discredited conspiracy theories and there are people now who will always believe it is a win for them.

At this point, this is just him showing us how many norms he will violate and how he will get away with all of them. To his supporters, he looks like a strongman they wish they could be.

She's a loon and I am not surprised at this picture at all. You can't stay some wild crazy stuff then not defend it and go back to acting normal without some type of explanation. She's bushes.

Completely agree.

It's a sad state of affairs.

For real I don't mind pushing the down the BS though.

People should check out her history before believing in the stuff she posts. Absolutely scust woman.

what is everyone's thoughts on the louise mensch vs abramson/malcolm nance tiff?

I never got it twisted.

She's a conservative

Schindler is a conservative

Rick Wilson is a conservative

Tom Nichols is a conservative

McMullin is a conservative

Liz Mair is a conservative

I am not a conservative and outside of Trump issues, I disagree with all of them on a range of issues. Especially domestic policies.

...but when it comes to #NeverTrump shyt, they're untouchable with the stuff they've predicted, laid out, and issues they've pushed.

And fact is, they've been ahead of the MSM and even when the MSM gets it wrong, a lot of what they say about Trump and his Russian ties continue to be borne out in absolute truth.




the real problem is y'all want "set it and forget it" sources of information. Y'all can't handle any diversity of sources and perspectives. You don't have to agree with 100% of what someone says before you believe them. Thats not how the world works.

Stop being lazy and focus on the information.







And let me touch on Nance.

Nance did not work the Russia-desk. he did islamic shyt. he even says this.

Schindler worked the NSA/ East Europe/Russia desk. Mensch has Russian sources. Nichols actually is a Russian expert. McMullin did more high level CIA stuff than nance.

Nance has experience, but he's woefully out of his depth when probed.

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

I don't blame him. He's an actual credible intelligence professional with leagues of experience over her.

Kinda.

See, Nance did more middle eastern work. He'll even tell you this.

I've been following him for years and before Trump hit the radar, he never focused on anything outside of that.

Now he claims to be this Russian expert.

Well...its not true. Its just not.

He has intel experience, but he's kinda milking what he did and actual Russian experts from the jump like Schindler and Nichols who never had to jump not the bandwagon as an Russian expert (because they already were) see Nance as someone trying to hustle his experience.

Nance was an intel guy, but he didn't do the shyt that other higher level experts did.
