Trump's solution for North Korea's nuclear threat
2016-02-10
What could possibly go wrong?
Donald Trump has a solution for North Korea's nuclear threat -- he said he'd have China make the country's leader "disappear."

"I would get China to make that guy disappear in one form or another very quickly," The Donald, fresh off a victory in the New Hampshire primary, said of Kim Jong Un on "CBS This Morning."

He didn't specify if "disappear" meant assassinated but added, "Well, I've heard of worse things, frankly."

"I mean, this guy's a bad dude, and don't underestimate him," Trump said about the strongman without referring to him by name. "Any young guy who can take over from his father with all those generals and everybody else that probably want the position -- this is not somebody to be underestimated."

Trump said China has control over North Korea and the US has control over China -- so "China should do that."

"China has control -- absolute control -- over North Korea. They don't say it, but they do," he said. "And they should make that problem disappear. China is sucking us dry. They're taking our money. They're taking our jobs. They're doing so much. We have rebuilt China with what they've taken out."

#2  Again, IMO Beijing = China is highly likely to annex NOKOR iff the latter regime + State collapses for any reason, MORESO IFF CHINA FAILS TO FORMALLY REGAIN SOVEREIGN CONTROL OF TAIWAN BUT STILL REFUSES TO GIVE UP OR AMEND ITS "POST-US", "MAHANIST", MILPOL OR GEOPOL AMBITIONS = MANIFEST DESTINY TO BE THE "SOLE" LEADER IN OWG EAST ASIA-PACIFIC/WESTPAC.

The USDOD's "Return to Asia/East Asia", e.g. THAAD deployments to SOKOR DMZ + JAPAN, USN back at Subic Bay, PH + LCS' in Singapore, Etc. = CHINA WILL HOLD ON TO NOKOR THAT MUCH HARDER OR LONGER.
The above being said, iff KJU + Regime believe that Chinese takeover of NOKOR can no longer be deterred or put off, I soncerely believe that to save his Country KJU willl find a way to unilaterally or "asymmetrically" start a DE FACTO MAJOR US-CHINA WAR, ostensib to begin as an initial Chinese milaction agz US Regional Allies.

AS WAS SAID PER IRAQ, THERE ARE NO GOOD, IDEAL, OR PERFECT SOLUTION(S) FOR THE US-ALLIES, ONLY ONES THAT ARE MINIMALLY OR THE LEAST BAD FOR US-ALLIED INTERESTS.
