Previously estimated. As the u. S. Intensifies its International Campaign to keep the kim regime in check. North korea has a Nuclear War Head small enough to fit in a missile. Thats the assessment of the Defense Intelligence agency the Washington Post reports. That prompted President Trump, speaking the a an event on opioid addiction, to mirror recent north korean rhetoric. He has been very threatening beyond a normal statement.

I think that raises the pressure both on the United States a
Down the fort while i was gone and im grateful to have had that time off. Im also happy to be back. Today is august 8th. On this date three years ago, in 2014, a man named Michael Flynn was starting his new life as one of the highest profile firings of the Obama Administration. Mike flynn of course is now famous for having served very very briefly as Trumps National security adviser and also for being in the bulls eye of the ongoing trumprussia investigation ever since. But being Trumps National security advisor was not the first high profile washington job that mike flynn had. He had been hired by the Obama Administration to run the Defense Intelligence agency. Now, it didnt work out. It didnt go well. In the end he was perceived to have been a failure at that job. And by this week, in the summer of 2014, three years ago, he was gone. This was actually his first day after being fired three years ago today. Forced out well in advance of how long he had been expected to stay. In that br

Peninsula. This agreement is good for the United States, good for our allies and good for the safety of the entire world. And the art of the deal maker. Turning diplomacy upside down as staffers watch the president agree to a summit without preparation, blindsiding his secretary of state. We are a long ways from negotiations. I think we just need to be very cleareyed and realistic about it. Former National Security adviser and u. N. Ambassador susan rice and former chairman of the joint chiefs, martin dempsey, joining us this hour. Good day. On this day of a lot of breaking news, im Andrea Mitchell in washington. As americas allies and adversaries alike try to assess the likely fallout from President Trumps stunning decision to accept kim jonguns offer of an early summit, after only 14 months, however, of mixed messages and very little preparation.

To go again and speak again after close to 20 hours of telling everybody that would listen about a nothing meeting . Yeah, im pretty surprised.
