North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, is a loose cannon looking for a place and method to explode. He has a lot in common with RINO Arizona Senator John McCain, in the fact that McCain is also looking for conflict, although he’s been fairly insistent that it must be with Russia first. Perhaps he’d be willing to make an accommodation and consider North Korea as a replacement, he’ll need to check with his sponsors inside the Military Industrial Complex and get back to us.

The decision may not be up to McCain. He has the North Korean dictator looking to retaliate after his less-than-brilliant comments of last week on the Greta Van Susteren program on MSNBC. After first attacking the integrity of the House Intelligence Committee chairman and his customary assault on President Trump, he used some of the balance of his TV face time to make some critical remarks of the North Korean leader.

They weren’t restricted to matters of policy, threats or military considerations, McCain also was critical of the Korean Dictator’s appearance, manhood and sanity. While it’s the kind of things that are said about McCain with great frequency across a wide spectrum of America, Kim’s not so accustomed to it. He took offense, or at least claims he did, and is now threatening to fire back, not with insults but with weapons.

McCain said in his comments, “China is the only one that can control Kim Jong-un, this crazy fat kid that’s running North Korea. They could stop North Korea’s economy in a week.” While he may be crazy, he’s obviously overweight and he is young, stringing them all together in the manner he did, in the forum in which he did, got under Kim’s skin. McCain might want to say that Vladimir Putin put the words in his mouth, but the video doesn’t indicate that to be the case.

Now McCain is accused of “hurting the dignity” of the North Korean leader, calling it the “manifestation of their worst hostility toward the DPRK.” If he thinks that’s the worst we can dish out he’s even crazier than McCain said he is. McCain might have been surprised that someone with a weed-whacker haircut and those looks could have any dignity to being with and therefore nothing to be hurt but he probably should have known better. He’s the international war expert, after all.

If something happens and Kim chooses to credit McCain, it’s going to be hard for him to pretend he didn’t have any involvement, regardless of how idiotic or “crazy” the claim is. The devil made him say it, that Ruskie devil, we know the one.
