They want subsidies and aid in exchange for behaving. What FS said, too.

Yep, that's pretty much always been there MO.

When a petulant child sees an opportunity, he takes it.

That's the thing with the NK leadership. He's a mental midget. And his son is a neophyte progeny of a mental midget.

This isn't these two morons it's China pulling the strings. They are making their play for world leadership. China has the US by the balls economically, they have NK and Iran enriching uranium and they have a willing ***** that won't do anything about it in the whitehouse. The cards on the table are in their favor and they are going all in.

This isn't isolated, an accident or just some rogue nation acting irrationally. It's calculated. The Chinese don't screw around with this type of thing they don't have to be PC, every citizen to them is one that can die for the cause.

Look at what has happened in the past few weeks. Oworthless shides China for their keeping the yen low, we get a mysterious missile off the coast of LA. Coincidence? I doubt it. And where was our superior missile defense? Shouldn't that thing have been shot down shortly after launch? Do you feel all that safe now?

Oworthless goes to India for a trade deal and comes back with nothing, he is a powerless leader. He can't get anyone on his side even by groveling.

We have sat here and watched Iran build their nuke program and have done nothing but a few pathetic attempt's at sanctions. NK is building theirs and testing missiles and we do nothing.

Oworthless comes out and tells the world we are no longer the worlds super power, there is no american exceptionalism, he moves us to more socialism, he demeans and does all he can to destroy the free market. He appologizes to the world for our success. He gives every terrorist our constitutional rights but takes those same rights away from any citizen that want's to take a plane within the US. He takes the nuclear option off of the table no matter what the threat.

If I were China I would be doing the same thing, we are in a weak position and getting nowhere fast. The time to strike is now and they are on it.

Now, what the hell are we going to do?

Nothing, apparently.

I can't disagree with a thing you wrote. ^
