Rule Number 1 for surviving in cold and cruel world: Never (ever) make a threat that you aren`t able and willing to carry out.

If I yell at my next-door neighbor “If you blast your redneck music again tonight when I`m trying to sleep I`m going to knock the crap out of you,” and then he plays “All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight” at full volume on an endless loop that same night, and I`m too afraid to confront him, my fate has been sealed, I will never again enjoy a good night`s sleep.

Which brings us to the Blowhard-in-Chief Donald Trump, he warned Pyongyang it would face “power, the likes of which this world has never seen before” if the renegade state continued to threaten the United States.

Keep in mind that everybody knows how Kim Jong-un rolls, almost every day for the last six years he has issued an apocalyptic warning directed at America.

Sure enough within an hour after Trump delivered his fire and brimstone warning the pudgy dictator threatened to launch missiles at Guam. Lil` Kim is basically saying: Now What?

In 2013 President Barack Obama warned that if Syrian President Bashar Hafez al-Assad used chemical weapons against his own people it would trigger an American military response. But when the inevitable happened, Obama failed to keep his promise, and Trump has never let him forget it.

There is no quicker way for an American president to lose favor with the American public and credibility with the international community than by drawing a line in the sand, and then failing to act.

Kim Jong-un sashayed over Trump`s red line, and the only “fire and fury” is emanating from the Orange Buffoon`s arse as he farts away in frustration.

Nobody will believe Trump`s future warnings, he has succeeded in making the likelihood that the Korean crisis will go nuclear so much higher.
