[Military FRiends, What is the mission of 'Mountain View'?]
Dude. We have been in a land war in Asia for almost 30 years.
First order of business will be plying these poor skinny hostages with Alfredo, Bolognese, garlic bread, lemonade, fatten these long-deprived guys up to at least 100lbs. That’s a mission I could pounce on, fatten up our freed NORK bros and sisters.
War is hell and you cannot refine it. People die. I understand your “complacency”
I’m repeating myself but...
Bush’s plans became nothing but war plans his entire term. I would hate to see President Trump’s MAGA plans get derailed. What global groups want that to happen...hmm?
Even more bad news for Fatboy Kim, China just released a statement saying that they would remain neutral in the event of a military conflict between the US and NK.q
NOT EXACTLY!!: Please read...”should stay neutral if North Korea launches first attack”...Big difference...

BEIJING (Reuters) - If North Korea launches an attack that threatens the United States then China should stay neutral, but if the United States attacks first and tries to overthrow North Korea’s government China will stop them, a Chinese state-run newspaper said on Friday.

The widely read state-run Global Times, published by the ruling Communist Party’s official People’s Daily, wrote in an editorial that Beijing is not able to persuade either Washington or Pyongyang to back down.
“It needs to make clear its stance to all sides and make them understand that when their actions jeopardize China’s interests, China will respond with a firm hand,” said the paper, which does not represent government policy.
“China should also make clear that if North Korea launches missiles that threaten U.S. soil first and the U.S. retaliates, China will stay neutral,” it added.
“If the U.S. and South Korea carry out strikes and try to overthrow the North Korean regime and change the political pattern of the Korean Peninsula, China will prevent them from doing so.”

China has long worried that any conflict on the Korean peninsula, or a repeat of the 1950-53 Korean war, could unleash a wave of destabilizing refugees into its northeast, and could end up with a reunified county allied with the United States.
North Korea is a useful buffer state for China between it and U.S. forces based in South Korea, and also across the sea in Japan.
The Global Times said China will “firmly resist any side which wants to change the status quo of the areas where China’s interests are concerned”.
China has called for perseverance in seeking a political s
Solution to the North Korean nuclear problem, in the wake of an escalating war of words between North Korea and Donald Trump.
China’s foreign ministry released a statement on Wednesday evening calling on parties to avoid the possibility of intensifying conflict or “escalating the situation with words or actions”.
Please see my post #28
President Trump is emphasizing that there is a new sheriff in town. We will not be appeasing North Korea. This is not the Clinton or Obama regime.
Every move the USSR made was because we had "provoked them" and it was our job to give in because otherwise we were "just like them".
It is not so much that they love our enemies, it is that they hate us.
Very cool. thanks!
They are LIB LUNATICS & IDIOTS.
You beat me to it!
China will remain NEUTRAL in the event of war on the Korean Peninsula.
That statement from China is a game changer!
Trump understand negotiations like no one else who has ever been in the White House. He understands that responding to NK with reasoned diplomacy plays into their strategy. NK expects the US to respond to its seemingly absurd provocations with a restrained and diplomatic approach, one intended to convey strength to calm our own domestic unease without inflaming the Norks. Trump understands that Kim’s crazy man approach is a gambit to get our attention and cause us to negotiate a reward like we gave the Iranians when they did the same thing. Pallets of $100 bills like Obama gave Iran is what Kim really wants, not an out of control nuclear war. What Kim does not want or expect from us is exactly what Trump is giving him, fiery rhetoric right back, for where does that get him?
China can well afford to stay neutral. In fact, it is in their best interests to do so.
More tough talk and tweets. Trump and fat boy in a pissing contest.
I say nothing happens UNLESS NK attacks first. If you read Trump’s words he pretty much said as much.
China has good relations with South Korea, and they know inevitably that Korea with be reunified with the South Koreans in charge.
As long as the US military presence is gone from the Peninsula, China can live with that.
It’s just a matter of figuring out what is the cleanest way to handle the “North Korea Problem.”
Watch little Kim disappear for awhile...
Kim’s a Pimp.
