quote:

“There are countries that are allowing, even encouraging, trade with North Korea, in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions. Such countries would also like to continue their trade arrangements with the United States, that’s not gonna happen. Our attitude on trade changes when countries do not take international security threats seriously.”


quote:

We will not look exclusively at North Korea, we will look at any country that continues to do business with this outlaw regime. We will not have patience for stalling or talking our way down to a watered-down resolution. Yesterday’s ICBM escalation requires an escalated diplomatic and economic response. Time is short; action is required; the world is on notice.

If we act together we can still prevent a catastrophe and we can rid the world of a grave threat. If we fail to act in a serious way there will be a different response. Much of the burden of enforcing U.N. sanctions rests with China. 90% of trade with North Korea is from China. We will work with China; we will work with any and every country that believes in peace, but we will not repeat the inadequate approaches of the past that have brought us to this dark day.




quote:

In the final analysis, China will either take action to remove the North Korean threat, or the United States will collapse the economy of China with the biggest set of economic actions against China in the history of economic sanctions.

v Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley will establish and highlight the action of the enablers.

v U.S. Ambassador to China Terry Branstad will politely request China to stop enabling and take action.

At the G20 – President Trump will politely ask Xi Jinping not to put him in a position of destroying the Chinese economy. Trump will remind Xi Jinping he really doesn’t want to, but he is being left no option.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, and Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue are the atomic economic sledgehammer…. awaiting orders.

They could try to do stuff, but it would hurt them as well. Do you think they have some red button that says "Cripple US Financially"?

Last time I checked China owns about $1.2 trillion.

But just for the sake of a thought experiment, what would happen to the Chinese economy if they sold that debt?

It would not be good. Americans would slow down the purchase of Chinese goods.

Why?

Selling American debt would plummet the dollar. High supply begets lower prices. A lower dollar is terrible for the Chinese economy. They love the strong dollar because Americans can afford to buy cheap Chinese goods.

In terms of what? Economic sanctions? War with North Korea?

Military war is not in Trumps nature.


Economic war? Don't bet against Trump.

That doesn't mean anything. Trump will do nothing, as always. He'll claim some big win, you fools will eat it up, but in reality it'll be nothing. Because it's always nothing.

Maybe you missed the question posed directly to you above. What exactly did BHO do? I'll hang up and listen.

Sanctions. Improved relations with allies in the reasons. Multi-party talks.

etc.

Are you that ignorant of recent history, or did you think you'd score a point? Sorry, champ!
