Tell Kim that if he makes one more threat to us or our allies, we will take him at his word and assume his missiles are armed, his intentions are hostile, and we will therefore initiate appropriate “defensive” actions (e.g., shoot down his missiles). It would also send a message to China that Kim’s threats and intimidation tactics will not be tolerated. It also says this is their last chance to reign him in before we are forced to open up a can of whoop as on this maniac.
But if he remains bellicose, we have established a justification for further actions. If he retaliates in the slightest way, he opens the door to a swift and devastating response that will include demolishing his nuclear facilities. We cannot allow this madman to intimidate us and threaten our allies in the region.
Eventually he will have nuclear weapons capable of his hitting major cities in the U.S. We cannot allow that.
China controls Kim.....and China has clearly understood Trumps message. How China works it out with Kim is in their hands. I think time will be given to China to do so....but it won’t be on Kims terms.
China simply wants all to go back to the negotiating table...( giving hand outs to Kim for stopping) until the next time)..Trumps saying no more talks, get Kim to co-operate or we’ll do it our way.
China just wants to save face and keep Kim as his pet
