North Korea, Iran, China & US Foreign Policy

My Venting

North Korea--after 30 years of rewarding every tantrum and mis-behavior by the Norks, what has been achieved? Basically we gave them Billions in gift money to finance their development of nukes & missiles. Thank heavens Trump is the first president who looks at the ROI and is stopping them playing us for fools.

China--Needs us more than we need them. That $500,000,000,000 trade deficit EVERY YEAR has basically built China into a military & economic power. If we stop trading with China, their economy will suffer 100 times more than US economy. Actually we gain big time in the long run with return of of manufacturing factories and good middle class jobs.

China knows this. They talk a lot but have done little to control Norks. North Korea is their ace in the hole. By pretending that they will help keep the Norks under control, we will not make serious changes in that $500 Billion bonanza trade surplus every year. I expect Norks continuing to poke at United States with wink and nod and help from China. China knows that so long we are pre-occupied with North Korea, and we think China will help control Norks, their trade surplus will give on giving.

Iran--What exactly we gained by giving Iran the gift of $150,000,000,000? We gained nothing, but Iran's other trading partners from Europe are enjoying the trading benefits. The Iran deal guarantees nukes for them in 10 years which is a short time historically in Iran. They are happy to wait and get paid big money for it. We are helping fund their research and development of nukes and missiles.

Nuclear proliferation--Besides USA, Russia, China, India, Israel, France, UK, North Korea, Pakistan, etc already have nukes. The technology is no longer a secret. You do not need Julius and Ethel Rosenberg to acquire nuclear secrets anymore. Anyone with money can acquire the technology now. You can't stop it with expensive deals.

We are very lucky, we have a president who can think outside the box and understands all this. It is so great to have an America First president, finally. I have been waiting since 1960.
