In a matter of a days, tensions with North Korea appear to have calmed down considerably.
Most of that is thanks to China making a series of positive moves and statements.
This is shaping up to be a big win for the Trump administration.
--
Less than a week ago, the world seemed to be on the edge of a nuclear confrontation or at least a bloody military conflict in East Asia.
What a difference a few days make.
After a weekend filled with a series of conciliatory statements from China, some of them downright surprising, the situation with North Korea seems to be less tense right now, which could be construed as a major win for the Trump team.
To be specific, the big move came Monday as China agreed to ban imports of North Korean iron, lead, and coal as part of new U.N. sanctions on Pyongyang. That's hitting Kim Jon Un's regime where it hurts.

No, God gave us Trump.
God is to thank.
Trump is using the talents God gave him for this nation.
CNN is fakenews.
Hey, lapster. This raiderboy needs his football
taken away, bud.....
Korean Peninsula launched ICBM towards Guam must fly over so many anti-ballistic missile sites in Japan, its territorial waters and USN and Japans navy Cruisers on picket line alerts at sea it would be damn near impossible to keep such a nork dork launch in the air ......
But the issue isn’t that he hit what he aimed at .... its that he aimed at Guam and launched a ICBM at Guam, Nuclear or Conventional .
Would think even Taiwan and the US Army and ROK would have ABM sites cocked and locked.
Every NORK sub has a USN attack sub hicky on its butt by now. As well as USN attack subs with conventional SLCM ‘s in the Korean waters ready to knock on Kim’s doors as his pocket rocket gains altitude. My opinion only.
Hey, Sivad - I agree. Lol.
How does USN know which subs are NK?
Wouldn’t want to fire at the wrong countries subs.
Hey Under Armour, what’s more important? Shutting up Norko or a false flag led by traitorous Americans?
Stupid SOBs
I don’t buy it.
I’ll bet we’re in for a real surprise.
Absolutely right! I'll wager five hundred dollars right now that N Korea will be firing off missiles again within two weeks!
Of course none of the press can draw the causal connection between the first statement and the second. It probably took the Chinese suggesting to the Koreans what locked and loaded looks like. GWI and GWII should give him a clue.
I will bet that he isn't. Remember, we are locked and loaded.
Sure, because China is such a brilliant negotiator that can run circles around Trump diplomatically. The real story is that China, who is behind all of this crap all along, told their problem-child to shut up and sit down. When dealing with China, NK knows just how long their leash is.
Something HAS TO BE DONE about this BASTARD Soros!!! Why in the HELL is NOTHING being done about this SOB!!!!
The thing about sanctions is that KJU doesn’t care how badly his people suffer.
More winning.

It wasn’t that China agreed to ban imports of North Korean iron, lead, and coal as part of new U.N. sanctions on Pyongyang......they had already done so in the last sanctions before this recent one. So if indeed things have calmed down some there was something else happening.
“Only win is the destruction of the fat mans empire called North Korea and return North Korea to South Korea and call it Korea. “
That MUST be our goal! North Korea has been a unwelcome aberration since 1953.
This will only benefit white people right?
I don’t buy it.
I’ll bet we’re in for a real surprise.”
I agree, It's not over until the North Koreans give up their nuclear weapons, with no warning, anytime, anywhere inspections made by US personnel.
I don't think the Norks will agree to give up their nuclear weapons or their missile program, so IT'S NOT OVER!
They were going after China’s bank which IMO is what turned the dial down.......China’s got big plans for their Silk Road Agenda where all trade roads lead to China. Their bank is primarily funding much of that.
6 days ago the Trump administration granted ‘Chinese banks’ dealing with North Korea a ‘temporary reprieve’ from threatened U.S. sanctions.
A UN report from earlier this year stated that North Korean banks and firms have ‘maintained access’ to international financial markets ‘through a network’ of Chinese-based front companies.......so there you have it.
“I believe that Kim will fire more than one missile within hours and they will fall in the sea within 50 miles of Guam. But we wont know that until they splash.”
Are you so misguided that you think we don’t know where any missile they launch is going? As soon as thrust termination occurs, the laws of physics determine where they are going to land, but even when they are being powered, you can get a pretty good idea.
