Capitalist versus Marxist argument
That's a valid stance, and a necessary one, I'd like to add. But maybe expand to 'crony capitalist' versus 'socialist' to see what happens, especially in real-life application.
Apart from that:
- picture uploads are reminiscent of 4chan and the like
- posting long quotes is nothing short of what photocopying used to be (copy everything, process nothing)
- single links : plain noise

fire and fury the world has never seen
From a psychological point of view it is hardly ever a good idea to jump blindly onto what is (or is meant as) provocation. And Mr. T., well, he just did what everybody should have expected he'd do, that is being himself.
Then again, I grant him that those words are more than a mindless utterance (actually he's sort of quoting Truman from August 6, 1945). But Kim sure has watched The Apprentice, so might have a headstart in insight into his 'opponent'.
NK missiles can reach US soil? So what. Japan has seen several missiles coming from NK, most falling short, but some flying over and landing somewhere in the Pacific
east of Japan. So nothing new here really. NK wants to hit Guam? Yeah, target before that was a US mlitary base in the south of Japan. There's an 'old' Japanese saying: 'NK might be able to shot but they don't know how to target.' That might change soon, yet: You fink da K stoopid? I don't. However, I do see increased danger of a pure
accident (on both sides, actually more on the US side) chainreacting into direct conflict.
Personally, I'm not a fan of Mr Trump (and who could possibly be), but I really expect him to strike a deal with Kim now... like selling him US steel or cars or solar panel walls... just anything. Or how about boxes full of iPhones? Could tap them
