It's Probably Nothing

North Korea denounces China;

North Korea condemned China in strong language, in the latest sign of a growing rift between Beijing and the Kim Jong Un regime over North Korea's nuclear weapons program.

The statement from North Korea is unprecedented because it addressed China directly, and exposed the increasingly problematic relationship between the two neighbors.

They'll be ronerier than ever after that.

Is Kim Basketball-jones becoming unhinged?

Good. Fuq nk . I hope they start crap with China let them fight it out. Show me China how you do it. USA and Canada no longer are willing to contain and please your stupid arses!!

In all likelihood, the tone deaf morons in NK have just signed their death warrant. Pity innocent Koreans caught in this Orwellian nightmare will pay.

I wonder.........will China green light Trump now, or just do it themselves. Because they sure as hell must be losing patience with this bird.

Stupid Trump!

No way will China ever do anything about North Korea. Anybody that thinks Trump will get China to convince North Korea to disarm or change is obviously an idiot. China and North Korea are inseparable allies.

Trump is a fool.

Won't everybody be surprised when China invades North Korea. Doesn't anybody remember when China invaded North Vietnam (1979)?

In related news, Lloyd's of London announced to day that it has cancelled Little Kim's life insurance policy.

All Asian cultures bigly understand the concept of maintaining "face" / reputation. If China's leaders do NOT take out the Porky Norky and Trump DOES take him out, the ChiComs will lose enormous 'face' in the eyes of all Asians (especially their own) and Trump will gain vast volumes of 'face' throughout that region. Trump knows that, Chinese leaders know that, and Trump knows that Chinese leaders know. So the clock is ticking for Chinese to take out Kim. If they wait too long Trump will do it and then he will use that massive injection of new 'face' / reputation for toughness to confront China on trade negotiations. NO CHINESE LEADER WOULD LONG SURVIVE (politically) SUCH A TURN OF EVENTS.

China loves seeing America, South Korea, and Japan squirm under North Korean threats. When the Chinese are having so much fun, why stop it? If they were bothered by North Korea, they would have ended it years ago.

scar:
I would suggest that NK's value to China has eroded to the point that I can see China taking their government out. I would not be shocked if that was the gist of Trump's message to China at their Florida meeting. China running NK would be more preferable than the current gang.

150,000 Chinese troops on the NK border. They are not there to provide refugee aid. The Chinese geopolitical imperative is to hive off South Korea and the Philippines from USA dominance. China has the opportunity of a big score with this crisis.

This could be a head fake to suck the US into another quagmire. The US is the world's biggest altruistic state and if they had to take out the NORK regime, they would then be saddled with "managing" whats left of North Korea. The US hasn't decisively won a war in 70 years and when they did they have never figured out how to end their involvement. A little coordination from China with Russia and her clients and the US could be drawn into multiple fronts to help wear it down while the domestic left and debt finishes it off internally.

Never underestimate the lack of self interest of true communists. As in any cult, they will willingly drink cyanide enriched Kool-aid, kill their own countrymen, start nuclear wars... all to bring about the fabled utopia of Marx.


China will go to war with the US before they turn on a comrade.


Where is Dennis Rodman when you need him.

Simple, really. Do you recall why China sent millions of "volunteers" into northern NK during the Korean War? It was to keep the capitalists off the Yalu River.

China can take-out NK or they can let Trump do it - and if Trump does it, NK will merge-into SK and become a proto-capitalist democracy with a BIG debt to the U.S., sitting right on China's border. And China's only way to stop it after the fact will be to enter a shooting war with the U.S. and by extension, everybody else but Russia in the immediate vicinity. And the clock is ticking - NK is stupid enough to use nukes, and the U.S. and S.K. (and China, and Japan) all know it, and the next NK nuke test is gonna' light the fuse.

Only way China gets out of this with both 'face' and a quasi-friendly quasi-communist power still shielding their border, is to take-out Little Kim themselves and turn NK into something better, but still pro-China.

They really have no choice in the matter. "May you live in interesting times."

I can't argue with your assesment. Kim Jong un duh twah have been Pit Bulls on China's leash. If my Pit Bull made my neighbours strap on their 9mm before coming to the dog park my Pitty might just catch parvo so as i could represent my new puppy as harmless...for a while.

If SHE were POTUS ... SHE'd be delivering $$$ Billions in FOOD aid to the Jong-Ill government ... and be praising N.Korea's universal medical care as far superior to the USA's. SHE'd send Madeline Halfbright to beg Jong-Ill to please not NUKE Japan and S.Korea ... over glasses of Chardonnay. SHE'd make every concession demanded by the little Dictator ... while humbly bowing deeply at his feet. Apologizing for America

We can't control even Chicago.

This is the vassal state yapping at its owner.

China will not give up North Korea, at least not readily.

A unified democratic Korea scares the crap out of China. It didn't send millions of men as machine gun fodder for it all to end like this.

So accurate and true. Well done, scar. The NorKs always were just the PRC's Cat's Paw.
The PRC will allow the NorKs to be liquidated, or not. It really does not matter to the PRC.
Either NorK will end or they will go on, either way no cost to PRC.
It should be recognized that either way PRC will be happy to take control of NorK territory and exploit it for PRC purposes.

"We can't control even Chicago."

That's not actually true. Giuliani proved it can be done.

Somebody has decided not to control Chicago. It is a policy.
