Well, maybe the Crazy Little Fat Guy in North Korea isn’t quite so crazy after all. – Shortly after Defense Secretary General James Mattis warned that the firing of North Korean missiles in the direction of any U.S. state or territory would be an act of war and treated by the U.S. with an overwhelming response, the Crazy Little Fat Guy appearsto have backed down. The Crazy Little Fat Guy stated that he has decided not to launch the threatened four nuclear-armed missiles at Guam, a U.S. territory, saying he would “wait a little longer.” Mr. Crazy went on to say that “If the Yankees persist in their extremely dangerous reckless actions on the Korean Peninsula and in its vicinity, testing the self-restraint of the DPRK, the [North] will make an important decision as it already declared.” Ok, whatevs, dude.
Sorry, Chubby, we’re all out of unleaded. – Another big motivating factor influencing this decision was obviously the action earlier in the day by China to cut off most trade with North Korea, including oil exports to the little dictatorship. Not even the Crazy Little Fat Guy is crazy enough to think he can run his military machine without fuel. No oil, no war. This is a really simple equation.
CNN’s gonna need some new talking points. – China’s move represents a big win for U.S. diplomacy, led by President Trump, Sec. of State Rex Tillerson, and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley. The move by China was its effort to comply with sanctions approved late last week by the U.N. Security Council, a proposal that was driven by the U.S. government. This, of course, does not fit the U.S. media’s narrative that the Trump Administration doesn’t do diplomacy, and so credit must go elsewhere in our fake media environment.

It’s probably best not to make a big deal about it.
It’s not diplomacy that made Mr Donut back down. It’s Trump playing hardball(unlike Obama and Bill Clinton ) that did it. Still, it’s early days yet.
Thereby giving the Russians a base of operations in the Western Hemisphere....the impact of we're still feeling.

Finally a president who stood up to the little bully and put things in their proper perspective - you and your people will be annihilated if we should be threatened by any action you take.
And what this has now down is probably shelved any further missile tests that the NORKS were contemplating. So a real president has taken real steps to shut down the NORKS ICBM development program.
“U.S. Diplomacy Wins...”
Trump won.
Diplomacy my ass. Diplomacy only worked if you call the President threatening to level their country ‘diplomacy’. A strong President with the guts to back up his tough talk is what worked. ‘Diplomacy’ is what gave birth to the crisis that was dumped on President Trump’s lap.
China told NORKS not to fire first, if they did they were on their own.
Simple.
Now the MSN will over analyze for at least a week.
You’re correct, coming into deal after the worst is explained. Bet the diplomats had an easy ‘negotiation’ with NK.
Was this not the expected outcome?
Basically, Trump said that we are no longer giving the bully our lunch money. And, BTW, if you threaten us with violence and actually follow through, we will flatten you, your house and your kids. So get lost.
And he backed off. Finally, an adult is in charge. Kim will most likely go away until we get another “politician” as our president who will play the game as before.
“U.S. Diplomacy Wins For Once”..........
I like Trumps type of diplomacy, I believe he used the term “fire and fury” which is something Little Fat Boy clearly understood. Finally someone standing up for America!
John McCain shown up once again. He so wanted to surrender.
The evil ones won’t talk about it at all.

IMO the ChiComs read the tea leaves and decided that with Trump in charge, backing a DPRK attack of any kind would not be a wise choice. So they chose neutrality.
Meanwhile the little riceball has suffered a huge loss of face. And in the Orient, that matters.
Imagine if Obama were still POTUS... he would fly to Pyongyang to meet with little Fat Guy and return waving a paper declaring peace in our time. A President Hillary might have bombed North Korea because she felt bitchy
It is not over until the North Koreans agree to give up their Nuclear weapon - Missile programs, ITS NOT OVER, NO ONE HAS ONE.
It’s not really over until Kim and all his kin and kling-ons are room temp and the peninsula flies one flag as the ROK.
“Meanwhile the little riceball has suffered a huge loss of face. And in the Orient, that matters.”
So agree with you there. We need to stop gloating about this—accept the win without trying to grind the other side into the ground. Face is everything in that part of the world.
Diplomacy my ass, when the Chinese told him he was on his own and that Trump wasn’t effing around... he got all wee weed up and went back to his room.
The schoolyard bully saw that he was going to get his ass beat.
