The Chinese regime has no interest in destabilizing the North Korean regime.
South Korea has no interest in a North Korean regime change.
Get our special ops to slip a cloned Nork tactical nuke over the border into China and pop it off and they’ll do plenty.
The arrogant insiders of DC (GOPe, Dems, MSM) will pooh pooh this. But middle America will say . . .
“Praise the `lord that we have a president who speaks his mind and doesn’t “tip-toe through the tulips!”
How fast and comprehensive is China sanction going to be?
Would State Dept. issue travel advisory to U.S. citizens not to make unnecessary trips to S. Korea?
Would U.S. stop insisting on NPT on its E. Asian allies or allow them to have
ballistic missiles with range longer than 1600 miles?
If not, prepare to be laughed at again by them.
Previous presidents treated NK missile launches as a mere after-thought, a "Meh" even. Conservative Treehouse has outlines perfectly executed political analysis why Trump is smart to pressure China, rather than resort to a knee-jerk pre-emptive strike that nobody wants.
That country is so brain-washed that those people will join in with the fanatical soldiers and fight to the death. Not to take anything away from our military, obviously, but it'll be a situation where we would have invaded Japan instead of nuking them. Yeah, in the end we would have won, but probably at a cost of a million American lives.
Trump has seen the light. Next, preemptive strikes on North Korea’s nuclear facilities and missile factories. Show them what the MOABs can do from the B-52s. Do a hit on the fat pig with a few cruise missiles. Take down any missiles going into S. Korea from our naval fleet. EMP the entire nation.
I hate to say it but it’s time to fix what Truman effed up. We would have won that war and in 1953 it turned into WW1. Truman was a female dog. MacArthur was right and we’ve been paying for it ever since with this crap.
Charge a tariff on Chinese goods the directly pays for cost of defense for South Korea and Japan.
You know, I give Trump credit for trying to be civil to the Chinese guy and see what could happen. Now he knows, and he’s smart enough to say, lesson learned.
Took months, but its finally understood: China is and always has been the problem.
If Red China isn’t hit hard with sanctions FAST we are going to be pushed into a war with them,possibly nuclear if we invade Commie territory to the north.
They need to know the USA is damn serious-economic war is the only thing that will prevent a hot war.imo
otherwise,china is right- that the US is all talk/bluff.
China uses NK to jerk our chain. Now that we are buddying up to Taiwan they won’t do jack to rein in the norks.
Take down their existing satellites and destroy any and all missiles launched from the two nations.
I would not be surprised to learn that we already have placed devices onto the surface of the two NK satellites....push button and BOOM!
An ICBM at launch is a very fragile thing... you could take it out with an old rifle...very thin skin and lots of fuel underneath that skin. An airborne laser could do it from a LONG way away.
This could just be the excuse to take strong trade actions against China.
It could really be about trade - that is what Trump ran on - MAGA. It is the Communist Party of China that has been ripping off American industry, targeting America’s military and allies, and corrupting American politicians (as well as being the single biggest enabler of political corruption worldwide).
It is going to require strong measures to turn around these major trade flows, and years for the plant, equipment and human capital to re-adjust and Make America Great Again.
Let’s face it, China gives North Korea the nuclear and missile technology, and won’t stop unless they have to.
War is an expensive way to fight the Chinese Communists, trade is the smart way.
President Xi had his 100 day grace period to prove his good intentions (if he had any). That window expires this month. I am guessing that August has been pre-coordinated to start launching trade policies and sanctions against the rampant abuses that the communists have deliberately engaged in for the last 20 years.
MAGA!
Yes, the Russia collusin witch hunt is also a cover up for their China collusion in congress
That’s because NK is china’s “get out of jail free” plausible deniabilty card.
If the norks manage to land a nuke on US soil, all of our fury will be taken out on them, and china dodges a bullet.
The chinese, russians, iranians, and other communist regimes are setting up NK to be the proxy, and the fall guy.
And they’re doing this because they absolutely do not want to be on the receiving end of any US retaliation.
Come to liberate Chinese people who have been under dictatorship by communism government since 1949! Please do not hesitate any more because it also poses serious threat to the civilization world ....You can number your finger to count how many countries there have where the communism government has been legitimate...
"North Korea is "probably correct" in its view that it can survive sanctions long enough to build its arsenal to the point where the world has to accept it as a nuclear state...The U.S. is likely to make a "dramatic move" this year against China in a bid to stop that from happening."-- Andrew Gilholm, Control Risks Group
In fact, they supply NK with a lot of their base machines and technology.
DUH! China is the actual enabler of the NK despot, and willfully so, and his nuke threats to the USA are something they strongly want to continue......
Trump knows this.
We need to pray God gives him the wisdom to know how to deal with this in a final effective way.
I think the ONLY solution is to take out Kim in a way who did it cannot be traced.....Trump: “Hey, Netanyahu - have a big favor to ask......take out Kim in a way it cannot be traced - and we’ll give you a couple F-35’s......”
