Gen. Jack Keane responded Monday to threats of a possible "Christmas gift" missile launch from North Korea, as well as former national security adviser John Bolton's recent remark that President Trump was not exerting "maximum pressure" on North Korea during high-stakes nuclear talks.
"He's right in the fact that there is more that can be done," Keane said of Bolton during an appearance Monday night on "The Story" with Martha MacCallum. "Russia and China, even though they voted for the [United Nations] resolutions three times, have never abided by them. ... We've got to sanction China, sanction their banks ... the firms involved. The Russians, we can stop them, we can stop them cold and we should be doing that."
Earlier this month, the North Korean foreign ministry warned that Washington would decide what “Christmas gift” it would receive from Pyongyang if the United States failed to change its “hostile policies” on denuclearization before the end of the year, according to the state-run Korean Central News Agency.
Ri Thae Song, North Korea’s vice minister of foreign affairs, in charge of relations with the United States, warned of the approaching end-of-year deadline, saying that President Trump’s recent calls for more talks were “nothing but a foolish trick hatched to keep the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] bound to dialogue and use it in favor of the political situation and election in the U.S.,” Reuters reported.
A significant launch or nuclear test would mark the end of North Korea's self-imposed moratorium on missile launches and tests. It would also be a major blow to one of President Trump’s major foreign policy goals: to get North Korea back to the negotiating table to eliminate its nuclear weapons.

I better eat my 7 seafoods dinner fast tonight just in case.
I think DJT is on the case. Thanks, gen (ret.).
Pres. Trump was high-larious on this subject today. Of course the media commies are trying to whip up fear on Xmas eve in order to undermine our country and President. Nothing new there. Some commie reporterette asked the President what he might do in response to the Nork ‘surprise’ that is sure to come. The President was dismissive and confident as always and then said ‘We have to wait and see what it is. Maybe he’ll send me a nice vase.’
What are the opinions of Generals Buck Turgidson and Jack Ripper?
I’ve been saving my 1000 year old eggs for a special occasion. Perhaps serve it with some fried kimchee?
I enjoy putting kimchee on my hotdogs and hamburgers.
Is that general a war monger?
Conjectured responses relayed by conjecturing posturers about a conjectured future act promised by a pathological liar.
Slow news day. But talking heads gotta talk.
If I had a buck for every time NK has threatened nuclear armageddon, I’d have 39 bucks.
Such a bunch of nonsense..nothing is going to happen. He “Might” test fire a short range missile, I doubt anything more than that but if he wants to do something I will draw him a map to Adam Schiff’s house
General Keane wants a nuclear war with North Korea, China & Russia.
He’s insane.
The same.
Keane must be expecting a bonus from defense contractors if he can get the US into another war.
Just this morning.
Well the Norks haven’t realized they aren’t dealing with previous administrations....where they agreed to provisions, and then forgot about everything when they received millions.....
I think Gen’l Keane is
I had to look kimchee up and I love the idea! :)
You and 2ndvivisionvet are the only two people that have ever mentioned Korean food to me. (I live a sheltered life!)
He mentioned some kind of BBQ but I forgot the name.
I had some uncles over there during the Korean war but don’t know if they ever got to eat any of the native food.
Merry Christmas!
the story itself was the “Christmas gift” … to the US FakeNewsMSM.
