Wow, I'm amaze Trump speech finally budge daddy China to spank baby North Korea. If this was the old presidency with Barack Obama, China will be just dragging its feet still.Liberals will hate on Trump no matter what.
This is literally the first time China has done anything like this. But Trump won't get credit and somehow it will be seen as bad, his fault or something Obamacwill get credit.
This possibly was on of Trumps greatest moves and it probably was helped by Terry Brandstand. Another great pick by Trump.

I've no problem with giving Trump credit here, just also accept that if he's taking credit on any 'good' that comes of this, he then in turn can be held responsible for any 'bad' that may come. Be fair and balanced.

I don't know how getting China to budge could result in bad. Working with other nations is a good thing.
Rob, Yeah it takes an act of Congress. My mistake. How this is being handled, though is likely the best course of action. God forbid it, but Kim Jong Un did fire on the U.S. or anyone for that matter, it's a death sentence for the leaders there, and probably many citizens.. Placing blame on the U.S. if that happens is crazy.
Originally posted by RobtardWeren't you the one who was telling me we should be pressuring China to deal with North Korea by threatening a trade war? How exactly did you envision that China would approach "dealing" with the NK regime if not initially through sanctions?
NK's needs funds to function, this is just a reality. Sanctions before have failed, do you think they're just going to not seek other venues of revenue now and fizzle out of existance?Their income from black market sales (drugs, weapons, exotic animals etc) makes up a decent amount of Jong-un's bankroll, that will likely need to be expanded upon if their legal revenue flow is tampered with. Selling more weapons; possibly a nuclear device is just a possible reality and the world will be a less safe for it. These are just facts.
Honestly, man, it's been said before but it really seems like you will just rebuke Trump regardless of what happens.
