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.

As to kimchee, in my drinking days I figured it would be a good idea to keep a ‘tupper ware’ full of kimchee on the front seat so that when the officer was pulling me over open the carton and take a big bite.
Don’t think he would be standing there too long.
Although, I always figured about the time I would remember to do that the first cop to stop me would be a Vet from the Korean Peninsula and would want some...
The big surprise may be that there is no surprise.

Another big thanks to Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, and the other Democrats who pushed the impeachment of President Trump. They have given the NORKS a reason to launch an ICBM.
Notice how the North Koreans were quick to jump on the Democrat bandwagon saying Trump only wants to continue talks in an effort to “effect the 2020 election”.
The North realizes this rhetoric will shift the blame from “Dear Leader” to Trump and are taking full advantage of the situation.
I only wish they’d let one go that lands in San Fran Nan’s backyard and hopefully Schiff will be there with her.
Nah - East Coast is safe so far - if something hits San Francisco, it will be raining poop for quite a while though....
Don’t Dismiss the back channel.
Based on Trump settling the trade deals, look for a deal with Kim or Iran soon.
He wants to clear the deck before the “election” season starts.
My dad would tell me they would come across a field with buried kimchi after it was shelled.
He said it almost smelled as bad as other things killed by the war.
