My visits to Montreal made me believe it was the equivalent of Dayton, OH— A city of complete asphalt and concrete.

After watching the KDrama “Goblin”, which was partially filmed in Quebec City, I definitely want to go visit there.

Looks like an NFL “hate America, ONLY BLM rally”; just replace Mao’s face with NFL commissioner Goodell or Steelers coach Tomlin’s face.

Watch how the NKs move their operations outside the country to friendlier, similar style governments. (Need I mention who?)

Campus of UC Berkeley? :-)

This man by all indications is several orders of magnitudes crazier than his father or grand father.

What indications? I am not trying to be argumentative, I just have heard this stated many times, and I just don't see what everybody else sees.

As far as I can tell, he has pursued a relatively low-risk way of substantially improving his negotiating position. He knew where the line was, and didn't cross it (apparently, since NK still exists). But he has also established that NK is now a nuclear power, with an arsenal of non-primitive nuclear weapons, ICBM capability, and, if rumors are true, will soon establish NK as a country capable of EMP attacks. NK is in a vastly superior negotiating position than they were when their only trading chip was a bunch of WWII-era artillery aimed at a single, non-American, city.

I am not saying that he isn't crazy, but where is the evidence? It seems rational (in its own way), calculated, and, unfortunately, successful, in that NK now has to be treated as a dangerous threat, rather than an annoying, but relatively harmless, flea. It was possibly a risky strategy on their part (although I doubt that the odds of the annihilation of NK were ever actually that high), but also a high-reward strategy.

In the past NK been living off making threats and selling war related technology to whoever wanted to buy it. Not to mention counterfeiting US currency of a quality almost better than ours, one of the reasons what tripped them off. And the US enabled them to acquire the nuclear ability under the Clinton administration. I still can see the picture of Madeline Notsobright standing there with that beer bellied twerp looking like two long lost lovers who just found themselves. NK was used to cashing in on their threats to keep their disgusting terror regime alive. If NK would apply their scientific acumen to some peaceful and worthwhile endeavor they just might get someplace.

They just are not used to someone finally coming along, like our Great President Trump who decided enough is enough and is in the process to shut their water off. Lets face it, sooner or later a showdown was inevitable, so we may as well get it over with instead of kicking the can further down the road as things will only progress from bad to worse, what is usually the case.

The leftist will hate to hear that the Trump strategy of being tough with China is forcing them to get tough with North Korea.

“a signal of growing tensions between the two countries (China, North Korea) over Pyongyang’s nuclear and ballistic missiles programs.”

Bull. They work hand in glove on the nuclear program. It is a signal that the pocketbook of Chinese Communist Party members is endangered.

“The move comes amid heavy pressure from the Trump administration”

True. This is driven by the Trump Admin’s recent sanctions on (Chinese) banks that do business with North Korea - putting teeth into the UN sanctions.

“North Korean entities and individuals that have set up businesses in China — from joint ventures to directly funded enterprises — must shut down within 120 days of the latest United Nations Security Council sanctions passed on Sept. 11.”

120 days to try to cheat in another way most likely - but being forced to scramble in this manner is a big change from the past. For the first time in decades, the Chinese Communists seem worried about being held accountable for their lying, cheating and stealing. Because they are starting to face real costs.

Don't know who you have in mind, but it won't have a border with North Korea. Therefore, the logistics won't be as good, and depending on what country, the hourly labor rates might be significantly higher than China's.
