China’s government drew a line in the sand Friday, saying it would remain neutral if North Korea attacks the U.S. but would defend its Asian neighbor if the U.S. strikes first, Chinese state media reported.
The Chinese response follows a week filled with a number of hot-headed proclamations between North Korea and the U.S.
On Wednesday, North Korea released a statement saying it would follow through with a plan to launch four missiles toward the U.S. territory of Guam by mid-August Meanwhile, other Asia-Pacific countries have come out in support of the United States. Japan’s defense minister, Itsunori Onodera, said this week that his nation’s military was ready to shoot down North Korean missiles if necessary.
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Thursday that a war with North Korea would be “catastrophic,” following President Trump’s string of warnings to the rogue nation.

I bet California is partially rethinking secession!
They said the same thing in 1950.
Excellent post. China has a muscle called Korea. Every time Korea acts up, they are following orders.
Restoring regional parity will restore regional stability.
Arm the South Koreans and Taiwanese with nukes NOW!
and in the meantime, somewhere in the Himalayas, India’s troops have crossed into China’s territory, and not by invitation. India doesn’t care about North Korea’s problems.
And if this little fat pud was threatening China, you’d wait until they fired first? FUCHINA
In a way it does. I think the message is directed more to Kim than to Trump. Do something stupid like attack the U.S. and you're on your own. Just keep blustering and threatening then we'll let you stay in power.
In that case with one free shot, the norks should target new york city or washington dc. Might as well make the free shot count. /sarc
The telemetry of our shoot-downs would assist them in designing real launch evasion methods. You don’t play that hand until necessary.
“and in the meantime, somewhere in the Himalayas, India’s troops have crossed into China’s territory, and not by invitation....”
Since when is Bhutan “China’s territory”?
The Chinese pushed their border south in a 1962 offensive war and are preparing to do it again building a road into Bhutan.
China is seizing territory.
“The 2017 China India border standoff refers to the military border standoff between the Indian armed forces and the People’s Liberation Army of China over construction of a road in Doklam (known as Donglang in China). The standoff started on 16 June 2017 when Chinese troops accompanied by construction vehicles and road-building equipment began moving south into Doklam, a territory which India and Bhutan considers as Bhutanese territory.[1][2] On June 18, 2017, around 270 Indian troops, with weapons and two bulldozers, stopped China’s PLA from constructing a road in Doklam.[3]
Time to move nukes into South Korea and Japan and then we’ll see if they change their tune.
A test is just that. No immediate discernible threat especially when we have a trajectory model within the window of target acquisition. The news of the miniaturization of nukes capable of payload changed everything. Until they had this capability, the biggest danger was not as extreme, plus why show them what can be achieved for them to work against it.
With his constant bloviating and increased direct threats to US territory, he has invited the resulting response.
The Nork's aren't going to put nuclear tips on missiles they've already said are going to land in the waters "near Guam." If in fact the Nork's launch it will be to provoke an attack from the U.S. and give them an excuse to bomb the hell out of Seoul killing millions.
The only question here in my mind is this: is deliberately launching missiles over Japan and into the sea near Guam an act of war?
I say it is. China may disagree. Hell, the Useless Nations may disagree saying "Well, the U.S. was never REALLY in danger, just look where those missiles landed! No one was hurt! Nothing to see here, move along!"
To which I say bomb the sh*t out of the Nork's and the Useless Nations building in NYC while we're at it!
Unload all the nuclear arsenal on N. Korea , China and the Muslim world . Not tomorrow TONIGHT
If the USA were still a strong nation during that time, if Trump were president during that time, the US would defend Israel. But the Bible says no. So, it appears that the US will not be in those days a power. What will take America down? War, famine, what? No one knows for sure, but I believe the Rapture of the Church will be the thing that brings America down. Then our enemies will see the USA in great distress during those times and then probably attack.
The US has a population of about 315 million. If only 10% go in the Rapture, that is 31.5 MILLION people. The best America has to offer, gone! That will cause great problems. Then our enemies will see America weakened, and probably attack the US. What is left of America, the military, etc., will probably be taken into the EU, to become part of their rule, maybe. Who knows?
The Bible gives the details in Scripture of what the End Times, the Latter Days, the Last Days, etc., what they will look like. We are squarely in those times. One fact that is clear is what is called Convergence. All those things mentioned in Scripture describing the End Times, are converging. They are all coming together right now, today. Those things are happening. Turkey has jumped on board with Russia and Iran. Those are the three main nations of the Ezekiel 38 and 39 that come against Israel.
Those days are here now. If you do not know Jesus Christ, you might want to take time to look at your Eternal destiny. Those days are here. Jesus Christ is the answer to your Eternal Destiny. Look to Him. He is your only, ONLY, chance. Seek Him now. America, Trump, no MAN is the answer. The answer is Jesus Christ. Time grows short on this wicked world. He is coming back. You can hoot, yep, scream, laugh, snicker, whatever you want. Doesn't matter. The Scripture says in these days people WILL scoff, laugh, deny, etc. It is clear about these times. But, it does not matter. Scripture came true about His first coming. Every prophesy of His first coming, right down to the smallest item, came true. That means every prophesy of His second coming will happen also.
If you don't believe. If you deny Him. If you say He is not real. Just one thing you might want to think about regarding all that. You had better be right!! If you are wrong, Hell awaits.
Trump will try to take out N korea missles.
Then China nukes the USA
So if we don't want the USA annihilated
1. Activate Star wars or missile defense
2. Move all Trident submarines into place
3. Take them by surprise. In daytime which is their nighttime Send 90% of U.S. nuclear missiles to wipe out China, N korea and the Muslim world.
4. Do this ASAP
China will take over North Korea in a coup and we will give them the South China Sea. It’s definitely not a good solution because it will make China much stronger but it is the only “peaceful” outcome...
That makes absolutely no sense.

My first impulse was to tell China where to stick it. My second response, however, is that this is a message to North Korea that if they’re stupid enough to attack us, they can’t count on China to save their sorry Kim-loving asses.
Overall, I think it’s a positive thing for us.
