What a negotiator, what a businessman, what a fool!

What the hell does that mean? Is NK using catapults? Are they launching "bullets"? Are they using potato cannons?

Of course they aren't. WaPo, for some reason, isn't calling a spade a spade. What NK is actually doing is launching MISSILES, not "projectiles." Maybe "projectiles" sounds less alarming and frightening. That's okay, but why is it becoming the norm when describing NK's threatening behavior? Are the missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads? Maybe WaPo can call them nuclear weapons-capable potato cannons.

Unless there's an announcement by North Korea as to purpose, that's some commentator's interpretation being passed off as objective fact without attribution to the commentator or acknowledgement that it's not actual fact. (It might be. I'm not sure what proof there'd be, however.)

At least missiles are projectiles.

As for the capabilities of the missiles, they're unknown. That they're more that tubes with rocket engines on one end and fins is more than we know. (Of course, they could have just said, "These are a specific type of missile, code named Orange Crush, nuclear capable, designed with the assistance of Russia on Syrian soil," with just as much devotion to truth as they showed in the first sentence. And, of course, everybody would accept it as fact.)

Nobody like bad Donnie.
