Good times

That's a nothing burger of a response.

Bottom line: Trump's reckless words haven't affected China's actions at all. China - and the UN and the rest of the world - are just responding to the escalated threat from NK.

You have a real problem with objectivity when Trump is involved lol.

It's ludicrous on its face to suggest Trump doesn't factor into the equation. Trump benefits from being perceived as a loose cannon. China has reason to fear this---so they are acting accordingly.

Ironically, it's a perception your Trump-deranged allies in the media have gone to great lengths to cultivate.

I mean, there is so much irony in this post that I don't even know where to begin. Every sentence is ironic. Each word is more ironic than the last.

It's like a clinic in irony.

Guess you missed the part of my post where I said "just responding to the escalated threat from NK." But you think a country like China is changing it's behavior because Trump "talks tough."

Like I said: completely delusional. And that's an adult thing to say in light of your stubborn desire to give Trump's antics credit.

LOL China just sat back for eight years, and just now decides to act. For you to claim that this has nothing to do with US policy changing from appeasement is laughable.

Wow! How do you keep missing the main point of what I'm saying? You're redefining "having blinders on."

Again - really slowly - NK's activity has ratcheted up a great deal over the past year. That, combined w/ the fact that they now seem to have intercontinental capability, has basically the whole world taking some kind of action. The UN certainly has; we have; and so has China. The threat is just greater now.

How is that so impossible for you to understand? Is it a willful thing? Do you really think Trump says "rocket man," and China has a meeting where they decide 'we'd better act now!'

My goodness.

Has it occurred to you that China acts independently of what U.S. Presidents do?

Has it ocurred to you that is a naked assertion lol. Does simply saying it make it so?

Geraldo Rivera [a veritable Trumpster lol] disagrees with your assertion. He said Trump has shown 'leadership and steadiness' in dealing with NC.

The 'Geraldos' are the canary in the independent's coal mine.
 
Hilarious that HOSS seems to think that POTUS and Rocket Man are morally equivalent.

Maybe he doesn't know that if a North Korean socialist talked about Rocket Man the way HOSS talks about POTUS, he'd be strapped to the muzzle of an anti-aircraft gun and his innards would be distributed over the landscape.

Oh, Geraldo - stop the presses. Game, set, match w/ that one.

The Norks have been building their long range missile systems since 2006, yet China did nothing until now. You seem to be totally non-curious about that fact.

Trump operates in an international vacuum lol?

Nothing he does---or might do, matters to China?

I think no one knows the psychology of Kim, and it's a dangerous game to poke him just to see what he'll do.

Here is a thought, nothing else has worked. Personally, I would rather just let him have a nuke. Why is it our concern? Do you think it is our business? Let China and Japan deal with him.

We should just wash our hands of it and pull our troops out of S Korea.

Cue your head exploding

Honestly, I sort of agree w/ most of the above. People always ask me, "what's your solution?" NK has nukes and they're going to have nukes. It's one of many unpleasant situations in the world, and it's not really our job to take care of all of 'em.

Really? Even though Rocket Man has issued threats to attack the US, our territories, and our allies?

I suppose the words "mutual assistance treaty" don't ring any bells up there on Olympus, HOSS.

Last I recall, it costs money to buy fuel.

That it does.

I've read where Rocket Man hates our joint military operations because it forces him to use fuel. NK apparently has a limited supply of it.

If it gets short enough he'll be in no position to start a war.
