On the Sunday following the 40 minutes of “primal fear” that ensued as a result of the false missile alert in Hawaii, the state’s own Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard put the screws to the hysterical left-wing narrative surrounding the relationship between the U.S. and North Korea.
After the alert, which many are calling a deliberate attempt to stir up fear of North Korea, Gabbard took aim at the transparent attempt to portray Trump’s work as destabilizing.
“We’ve got to understand that North Korea is holding onto these nuclear weapons because they think it is their only protection from the United States coming in and doing to them what the United States has done to so many countries throughout history,” she said.
History does bear her point out. The most recent example was the 2011 deposition of Muammar Gaddafi in Libya. Gaddafi had warned the U.S. that if his government was disposed of, there would be an enormous surge of needy and violent migrants from Africa and the middle east into Europe and the Americas. We have seen this very result born out in reality. But, the dynamic that is less well understood is the fact that Libya agreed to take down its nuclear deterrent prior to the conflicts that led to Gaddafi’s death.
Every time a nation with nuclear weapons agreed to disarm, the United States has quickly moved in and asserted itself with disastrous results. Gabbard asserts that is the very thing the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un is afraid of.
In the wake of the suspicious ICBM alert in her home state, Gabbard has called on President Trump to hold talks with Jong-un directly to prevent the escalation of tensions into a real nuclear exchange.
Gabbard is an officer in the Army Reserve, and has served two tours in the middle east, one of which was spent in Iraq.
She appears to have high hopes that Trump can solve this situation and bring things to a peaceful resolution. But, she is also critical of the president, saying that he is taking too long to take action and is not taking the threat of a nuclear conflict seriously.
On Sunday, she told MSNBC, “Our leaders have failed. Trump is taking too long, and he’s not taking this nuclear threat seriously.”
She wants Trump to go into negotiations with Pyongyang without preconditions, to enter with a clean slate, placing the DPRK on equal footing — or at least the appearance of an equal footing. She asks Trump to, “sit across the table from Kim Jong-un” to eliminate the climate of mistrust and fear that has grown up around them.
“We’ve got to get to the underlying issue here of why are the people of Hawaii and this country facing a nuclear threat coming from North Korea today, and what is this President doing urgently to eliminate that threat? Jong-un believes his nuclear program is the only deterrent he has against the U.S. coming in and overthrowing their regime there,” she told CNN.
Gabbard’s insistence that Trump ratchet up his resolve is understandable. After all, Hawaii is in the direct line of fire should North Korea choose to launch a missile. But, Trump’s actions have already brought Jong-un to the table to talk with the president of South Korea, who has said that Trump deserves “big credit” for making that possible.
North Korea is much more than just a rogue nation with a captive population and a militant demeanor. The North Koreans see themselves as the former rulers of all of Korea, and believe their right to govern the entire peninsula was wrongfully taken from them. North Korea shares a border with China. That means a nuclear exchange between the U.S. and North Korea would have a direct effect on China. Worse, it is likely that if missiles fly, North Korea may hold South Korea as a hostage.
South Korea is an important friend, ally, and economic partner to the United States — and if the north threatens them, we may be forced to commit ground forces to storm the northern capital.
For these reasons, among others, Trump has been pressuring China to take more responsibility on this issue. Many suggest that the ongoing existence of North Korea in today’s world is a mystery. It could be that some nations or powers hold secret interests in North Korea that have yet to come to light.

Although Gabbard, congresswoman is in the Army Reserves and went to Iraq, it doesn’t make her an expert on North Korea. Trump is waiting and watching what is going on in North Korea and has troops and misiles ready and waiting in case they are needed. TRUMP ALWAYS KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING AND WHO ARE WE TO QUESTION HIS ABILITIES AND KNOWLEDGE OF CURRENT AFFAIRS. The North Korean idiot is afraid of Trump and he knows his country will be wiped out if he tries anything.
Sigh…this reminds me of policing the ghetto.
Negroes scream, “Kill da pigz! Get outta our hood, yo.”
Then they want the police back when gangs start killing everyone in sight. Lather rinse repeat.
No matter what Trump does or doesn’t do, the libtards in “Obama’s berfplace” won’t cut Donald a break. Anything he does will be “courting disaster” and “Starting WW3!” He’s cautious and doesn’t overreact and now he’s “courting disaster” and “Starting WW3!” Lather rinse repeat.
Let’s not forget it was (as always) Trump’s fault when they thought Rocketman was gonna nuke “Obama’s berfplace” a few days ago…
Does this “congresswoman” realize that the Olympics start in two weeks! Now is not the time to cause a panic around the world because of a human error in Hawaii!
This renegade country has been on going for 68 years through god knows how many presidents and this clown expect Trump who has been in office only a year to wave his magic wand and solve the problem.The thinking of this guy is that of a third stage moron.
Sorry to burst her “bubble” but PRESIDENT TRUMP is acting like he should. BY LAW, he cannot “act alone” Like some have done. in the past. He WILL, however when the time comes, go through the proper channels to do what he has to do. There WILL BE NO “WARNING” (like his gay fraud MOOSLIME predecessor), If the sawed off little hermit runt decides to do something STUPID, you CAN be sure that “act” will be his last, and North Korea will be reduced to a glass factory (or a pile of rubble)
Pertaining to Un and Trump: In the light of understanding fear, there has to be an attack because every attack is fear based.
Why is there such an uproar in a place where there is oppression by a dictatorship? People are crying out for deliverance from oppression an want to be free but they cannot, so they call out to the Universe, and the Universe is listening and is stirring up a people to help them be free. Dictators have a very limited view of what could be if you let the people free, they could become liberated themselves and gain instead of losing. Now the world is posing to deliver them and we are those to make that happen except we do not know that ourselves. Bombing them out of existence is not good and negotiations won’t work for fear of losing control. Think or our own Government, how they fear to lose control over the people that just want to be left to their own ideas and wisdom, they will cry in despair over there loss, they cannot see the other board Air-Force One because it was them that earned that power [through absolute corruption and would kill for it.]
Concerning UN. Collective consciousness towards the liberation of N.K. people will make UN change his mind, which is not likely, so therefore must be removed from the scene. If you cannot bend you will break. If you cannot see that liberty will cause the people to love you, you are yet primitive in your thinking and must be educated. Trump uses caution as long as he can. Atomic weapons must be avoided at all cost, as a matter of fact, it is not healthy for anyone and therefore to be done way with and used only for peaceful purposes. We must grow up and out of the idea that we must Kill to get the job done but changing the mind of another is a breaking point that we all face. If we knew love rather then hate we could choose and win the war even though at time we have to use force. So be It.
Personally I have no pity or help for Hawaii until they get some of their lawmakers to stop the law of the land by having a Hawaiian Federal judge stand in the way of making OUR COUNTRY SAFER regardless of how he feels about ILLEGALS Having been to Hawaii I am appalled by the arrogance of the people in control they are mostly of the race that chose to start a World War with us by bombing Pearl Harbor
Even though she is in Congress I don’t think that this lady has a clue what is going on behind the scenes with Trump and Kim. Her simple solution seems to be to give in to Kim. But giving in to Kim and appeasing him is the reason he has nuclear bombs and the capability to launch them. Appeasing Kim more is not the solution and a false alarm in Hawaii is no reason to back off and give in like so many presidents have done in the past. She needs to cool off, quit repeating the Democratic Party line and let Trump and our military leaders take care of this issue.
