Post-America's enemies smell weakness - today's edition

The headlines on Drudge this afternoon are real barrel of yoks.

Yesterday, I posted about Iran test-firing some missiles - yet again. Well, yet again, they've fired some more today, complete with some rather bellicose rhetoric from an official of this newly legitimized regime:

The Guards' deputy head General Hossein Salami said the missile tests were to demonstrate Iran's "defence and deterrent power". 

"We have massive stockpiles of ballistic missiles waiting for orders and ready to hit targets at any moment from various points across the country," Salami said.

Oh, and they were "emblazoned with the phrase 'Israel must be wiped out.'" 

And Kim Jong-un's choice of a backdrop for his photo ops with his regime's nuclear scientists is a bit in your face, don't you think?

 North Korea caused a new stir Wednesday by publicizing a purported mock-up of a key part of a nuclear warhead, with leader Kim Jong Un saying his country has developed miniaturized atomic bombs that can be placed on missiles.

The North's Rodong Sinmun newspaper carried photos on its front page showing Kim and nuclear scientists standing beside what outside analysts say appears to be a model warhead part - a small, silverish globe with a ballistic missile or a model ballistic missile in the background.

The newspaper said Kim met his nuclear scientists for a briefing on the status of their work and declared he was greatly pleased that warheads had been standardized and miniaturized for use on ballistic missiles.

ISIS is staying in touch, too.

An English-speaking ISIS jihadi has warned America they will be attacked 'very soon' and 'by Allah's permission do to your country what we did to Paris'.In a chilling new ISIS video, he warns the US and President Barack Obama that the terror group will 'kill, slaughter and burn your people'.The jihadi tells America it can expect an atrocity similar to the massacre in Paris in November in which 130 people were murdered in a wave of shootings and suicide bomb attacks.

Obviously, the Most Equal Comrade doesn't give a diddly about any of this. He's on his way to the South by Southwest Conference (which he also thought was more important than attending Nancy Reagan's funeral). And now imagine the various contenders for the MEC's job dealing with such an array of developments. Are you comfortable with the way Hillionaire, who has been criminally reckless with classified information and who lied about the circumstances of the Benghazi attack, establishes foreign-policy priorities? How about Bernie? Would he have a good handle on the situation? How about Squirrel-Hair? I don't think he'd know how to ratchet down the danger level, do you?

Now picture Ted.
