American Envoy Sherman Marches Into East Asia With Promise of ‘Forceful’ Response to North Korea

SEOUL – Alarmed by North Korea’s nuclear and missile threats and China’s aggressive diplomacy, America is playing catch-up on the eastern rim of Asia after perceived neglect of the region.

At the vanguard of America’s diplomatic offensive this week, Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman, in talks here with top Korean and Japanese officials, promised a “forceful” response if North Korea’s Kim Jong-un actually orders the regime’s seventh underground nuclear test. Sung Kim, the U.S. envoy on North Korea who was in Seoul last week, said in Washington the North was ready for the test and could do it “any time.”

“The U.S. and Japan are fully and closely aligned on the DPRK,” Ms. Sherman said at the Korean foreign ministry here, referring to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, or North Korea. America and its two northeast Asian allies have a “shared goal,” she said, the “complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.”

I’m sure someone named ‘Wendy Sherman’ strikes fear wherever she goes...

Ukraine is going very badly for the globalists, so they need a distraction.

This is exactly the wrong thing to do. Like everything the biden admin does it’s diametrically opposed to ‘helpful’. The Norks are driven by the pride in and pride of their fearless leader. Like it or not, that’s how it works. These threats of forceful responses will only serve to embolden the kim jong to launch more missiles. Likewise the chinese are not impressed with the biden overtures. These asians act in their own self interests and they do not respect, nor do they trust people who do not. So biden giving away the store only makes the chinese want to build more aircraft carriers and submarines.

I feel like as if they understand this, but dont care because they are achieving their goal of forcing america into a third world status.

What did Trump do exactly to get Kim to relax for 4 years? He clearly had some kind of novel and effective approach

What we do know is that the swamp-raised, permanent deep-state apparatchiks in DC will NEVER escape from group-think, and never think outside their failed paradigms

With the DC deep-state back in full control, Kim is now back to his tricks.

She looks like she needs a life support herself!

Anyway, the government which lost Afghanistan in few days is not going to be respected anywhere!

Yep, I'll bet that "forceful response" will be the most sternly worded letter ever written!

Trump showed how to do it:

North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!

William Tecumseh Sherman who led the REAL march is rolling over in his grave at that headline.

I’d feel a lot better if it was William Tecumseh Sherman marching in East Asia in regards to North Korea.
