If China doesn’t cut off their Rocket Fuel Supply, sink their Navy.
Station nukes in Taiwan, S Korea, and Japan. Throw in a handful of nuke armed subs for each. Problem most likely solved. Imho.
It’s time to send in some mercs to wipe out the NORKS and their little boy who likes to play with fireworks.
IMO, the Chinese are using North Korea as a way to keep our pressure off of their massive, and growing, trade surplus with America.
Their trade balance with us, has grown increasingly negative over the entire last generation. Now it is MASSIVE, and it is still growing.
They are using NK, to keep us from bringing back our own manufacturing. It is a long-term strategy, and far too many on our own side, are completely enthralled with keeping it in place.
Trump was different. It appeared.
It seems.
Maybe.
“American officials, who would not be named”
The typesetter who does “anonymous insiders” must be on vacation...
Will Japan sit idly by and NOT nuke up FOREVER..?
Come on, that really strains credulity.
“You, China, take NK out, and we, the USA will assure that Japan does not nuke up. And if you don’t, then, well.....Japan IS an independent country, and all, ya know....”
President Trump should carefully study how Madeleine Albright handled the NorKs and then do the complete opposite.
“Nanking —it’s SUCH a nasty memory, no..? Let’s let it REMAIN a memory. A DISTANT one..! But with all this chaos, WHO KNOWS what Godzilla will do..? The future is so unclear. So, China...what can you, with your HUGE, nuclear dong, do to help this dark situation..? We BOTH don’t have any need for a unified, perhaps NUCLEAR! Korea, right on your doorstep...”
“Now DO we...?”
“What can you do..?”
Then, next time he goes over there to party with the fat dictator... wham... drop a cruise missile on both of them.
