#1 Hyperbole redux, when considering the story above from the same source, The Australian. Good grief - this has been obvious since the missile fiasco. Kimmie knows he can circumvent any sanctions that he wants - as long as he plays a useful role in China's traiangulation game. I'm sure Russia will play, too.

#4 Um, I may be mistaken, but that whole ship inspection thing & ban on luxury goods sounds like just this side of a full-bore blockade. It's a hell of a lot more than I ever expected China to accept unless they were getting serious about regime change.

Tell me again why Bolton's still not a Senate-confirmed ambassador?
