In a nutshell he claims that Kim Jong-Un will now be the laughing stock of the world when he tests a missile, and that Trump removed all of the macho incentive for him by uttering these two words (P.S. last time I checked the video below plays just fine despite the appearance that it's been removed from youtube). If his theory is correct then this speech was perhaps not optimal for neocons. Fast forward to about 4:25 and you won't miss much.

Whatever you think of Trump or his motives you must not underestimate him.

Like I have said before we need an Alpha Dog candidate of our own.

And as I said above: Do not underestimate the enemy.

Are you kidding me? Isn't this out-in-the-open censorship? If they're going to do this, don't they need to be a bit more cunning?

I guess it depends on the perspective. It could be just a system "glitch".:cool:

I watched it for a while, I thought it was pretty obvious.. first thing I thought of when I hear "Rocket man" is Elton John, and even without Elton John calling him Rocket man is pretty emasculating.

It would not be pretty, but we could nuke all his artillery that threatens Seoul, etc. we have nukes and conventional bombs in South Korea, I've been trained with delivering them. He would not be able to respond quick enough with our attack. We would shut down his command, communications and control.

Could have sworn he called him an orange clown or some such thing.

But he didn't repeat it every time he referred to him, also that isn't a good enough nickname .

Rand didn't get enough airtime to define his opponents. Trump did. Crooked Hillary, Low Energy Jeb!
Plus Trump was already inoculated against being labled a joke since everyone already thought he was one.

Too serious! Rocket Man is supposed to be a funny term of derision.
