Excellent article. Makes perfect sense about how Trump has an economic strategy now, more so than a military strategy (although I’m sure there is one). Seems like gradual increasing pressure on China via economic and financial means is a preferred strategy to the inevitable bloody outcomes that loons like Ralph Peters predict.
Also better than than the acceptance of NoKo having nukes and hope for the deterrence of MAD that over-rated intellectuals like Charles Krauthammer express.
Good article. I think a blockade may be coming.
I agree. And I don’t think the threat of one is lost on Xi et al. Plus, Haley at the UN in addition to Trump at the G20 lets the message sink in. Bigly.
Bump
BTTT!
To produce the speedy outcome, other pressures have to applied. Still we have a very limited window of opportunity, probably a year or less.
If we were to pursue the road of economic pressure, it should have already started, and by now at full strength. So I don't know if we can safely disregard a military option.
And, yes, it has taken too long to exercise the leverage at our disposal, but, to be sure, better late than never.
PING!!!

A must read for those that don’t understand ‘how’ Trump accomplishes goals.
Different topic, but I believe he is handling the media the same way. And it also explains the twitter war.
Economic pressure works in any situation. Expose the media leads to loss of viewers leads to loss of sponsors leads to ownership taking a different approach. Timely, but effective.
