U.S. emperor Donald John Trump said on April 12th that he was sending a carrier battle group steaming towards North Korea. “We are sending an armada, very powerful. We have submarines, very powerful, far more powerful than the aircraft carrier. We have the best military people on Earth. And I will say this: He [North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un] is doing the wrong thing,” Trump blustered on Murdoch’s propaganda cable TV channel Fox “News.” (Funny thing, though. While he was campaigning for president, Trump kept bellowing that the U.S. military was “hollowed out.” Maybe he filled the military void with his own personal Greatness.)
But an obvious bluff, as the U.S. simply can't attack that nation.
Well, it turns out he was bluffing about bluffing. The carrier group never headed towards North Korea. It went to the Indian Ocean for joint exercises with the Australian navy.
What could be more lame than a fake bluff?
"Weak!" as a certain blowhard might say.
