Threatening action or rhetoric cannot help resolve the situation on the Korean peninsula, China

[Oshkalaboomboom]

Of course they're right. We should be working on sanctions against their sponsor, China, not North Korea. Fat Boy wouldn't have access to toilet paper, much less nuclear technology, unless China approved it. Time to turn the screws where it would actually hurt. Anything else is just Kabuki theatre.

[Egon]

Agreed. Nuke ‘em from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

thats right - action is needed

[Eric in the Ozarks]

The Chinese are still swapping spit with the Norks.
To hell with both...

[Bitsy]

Yep. China say good by to your lil friend!

[central_va]

All that matter is the USA continues to off shore technology and production to the ChiComs. Nothing else matters. /sarcasm

I agree. This may be why they are considering handing it over to Mad Dog.

This is all China folks. We are entering a trade war with China and they are using NK to jerk our chain.

[enduserindy]

Yes. We cannot solve the problem until we openly acknowledge it. China runs North Korea. So when China says Seoul is in artillery range they should immediately be reminded so is Beijing. To continue allowing China to think they can wage this war and not be treated as a participant is the riskiest part of all.

[Williams]

Gee we see how well the other approaches have been working. Not.

[momincombatboots]

Good perspective. So how many of our men and women do you think we should sacrifice for a trade war? I thinking zero.
This is a Lusitania or Berlin Wall moment. Or just more talk and bluster to cover up the amnesty deal and Trillion dollar union bailout stimulus on the way, along with a nice guaranteed taxpayer insurer bailout. Via healthcare.

I suspect Trump has no intention of losing even one military life over NK.

Trump is putting the pressure on Xi to back rocket boy off.

I highly doubt Kimmy has a miniaturized weapon.

[A Navy Vet]

I have my doubts about China approving of RocketBoy's growing nuke capabilities. Didn't China just recently reduce their exports to NK? China needs to do more and I would bet they will. Their major concern is the 100's of thousands refugees who would inundate their border areas if America and allies should attack.

I've been watching China for a long time and since they re-acquired Hong Kong, the central government has learned the benefits of capitalism. Their major cities, including the Vegas-like city of Macau don't look much different than any other western city. They claim to be a communist country, but it seems only in name nowadays. Capitalism is everywhere in China and liberties are becoming more prevalent. Plus, China understands MAD where the little tyrant of NK doesn't seem to.

Note to President Trump: Ignore your detractors who say you're bombastic and send this direct message to Kim Jung Un. "If you think you can hide in your tunnels, caves, and bunkers, just know that American might can reach you where ever you hide - think Saddam Hussein. Here's your last chance to join the world community or perish. Next missle fly-over of an Ally and game is on!"

Threatening action or rhetoric cannot help resolve the situation on the Korean peninsula, China’s foreign ministry said on Tuesday

Then solve the problem or SHUT THE F#CK UP. North Korea un-inhabitable for 10,000 years seems OK with me.
