North Korea Returns to a Show of Force

[Dragonlady]

North Korea issued warnings for more than a week. It swore that the Biden administration would pay a “price,” accused it of raising “a stink” on the Korean Peninsula and called Washington’s effort to open a channel of communication a “trick,” vowing to deal with the United States “power for power.”

The Biden administration has been reviewing whether to deal with North Korea’s growing nuclear and missile threats with more sanctions, a new round of dialogue or a mix of both. As the policy review continues — and the possibility that the Biden administration will abandon the summit diplomacy of President Donald J. Trump grows — North Korea appears to be “returning to a familiar pattern of using provocations to raise tensions.”

Fine job Dementia Joe.

‘Power for Power’: North Korea Returns to a Show of Force

"Summit diplomacy"???? That wasn't "summit diplomacy". That was Donald Trump getting played and humiliated by Kim on the world stage. The "Art of the Deal" on full display. In many ways, a bigger foreign policy humiliation that his Helsinki meeting with Putin.

Kim got a nuclear arsenal and ICBM capability, neither of which he had prior to Trump being elected President. Kim had 20 warheads in 2016. Today he has more than 60, as well as ICBM capabilility. What did Donald Trump get in return - a box of old bone fragments, and a bundle of "love letters. Well done Dotard Donnie!!!

Just How Many Nuclear Weapons Does North Korea Have? A Look at the Numbers

Nuclear specialists look at North Korea’s capacity to produce centrifuges needed to enrich uranium, and how much of the end product would likely go into each bomb.

www.wsj.com

North Korea could have up to 60 nuclear weapons by 2021

Pyongyang would have produced 13 to 30 nuclear weapons by the end of 2016, according to report by Institute for Science and International Security

North Korea is playing the US, under both the Trump regime and also now with Biden's regime.
The US is completely powerless in the region and that's because China is directing N.K. on actions to take that are in China's best interests

Of course China doesn't want to admit that they're working in cooperation with N.K. but it should be no secret that they are and will.

N.K. is safe behind China's nuclear deterrent against US aggression, regardless if N.K. has it's own nuclear weapons to display.

So many opportunities for rational discussions are lost on this forum, due to Americans screeching insults and obscenities at each other.

Maybe the end result in a few years will be America getting their noses out of S.K. in exchange for China not allying with Cuba?

Power in each others spheres of influence will become much more important in the game of world politics, but power won't come to America at the end of a gun barrel. It will come through negotiating strength.

China has already sealed the deal with Cuba, as can be seen by anyone who has been in Cuba to see!
But why would Cuba prefer to ally itself with China instead of America. LOL

That is false. One of your own links says ISIS can be traced back to 2003. It was created as the result of the power vacuum left in place by the Bush Administration's removal of Saddam Hussein and the displacement of the Iraqi Republican Guard.

Now apply that sort of thinking to N.K. and maybe to Cuba, as it relates to US/China power in their respective spheres of influence.

Total nonsense. ISIS predated the Obama administration.

Do you think ISIS was advancing or retreating when Trump took office?

Bullshit.

Why do you tell such stupid lies? You only reveal yourself as a fool.

Obama formed ISIS as part of his "Arab Spring" idiocy/treason.

That is false. One of your own links says ISIS can be traced back to 2003. It was created as the result of the power vacuum left in place by the Bush Administration's removal of Saddam Hussein and the displacement of the Iraqi Republican Guard.

That is false. If you read the link it speaks of ISIL, which was defeated in 2006. ISIS emerged in 2012 in conjunction with the Obama initiated collapse of Yemen and Syria.

And what, exactly, is North Korea getting out of it?

{ And there were, in fact, more than hints of the group's plans and potential. A 2012 report by the United States Defense Intelligence Agency was direct: The growing chaos in Syria's civil war was giving Islamic militants there and in Iraq the space to spread and flourish. The group, it said, could "declare an Islamic state through its union with other terrorist organizations in Iraq and Syria." }

The rise of ISIS

The terrorist group's rise was fueled by the chaos of Iraq and missed signals overseas

ISIL and ISIS are the same thing. Just that some people say Syria and some say Levant. Same thing.

And it was never defeated.

It is not false. What I said is historically accurate.

Lol - not a word about the DOZENS of missiles Baby Kim launched during the disastrous, failed Rump years but now the sudden concern?

Yet North Korea has tested 6 Nuclear Weapons, 5 during the Obama years...go figure.

There is evidence that President Obama is aiding and abetting these designing democrats in their quest to expand the scope of Islamic fundamentalism. In Libya, for example, the United States aided the National Transitional Council (NTC) in drafting a pro-Sharia constitution, as well as providing more direct and lethal support of the insurgents in the form of missiles and munitions.

It is unlikely that the U.S. government’s active participation in and perpetuation of these revolutions will chill as the Arab Spring becomes the Arab Winter. Despite the rhetoric, it is America's own government and agents thereof that have done more than any so-called Islamic extremist to permanently enshrine Sharia as the constitutional law of the land throughout the Muslim world.

Inertia and a lust for power will propel the movement into the remaining nations of the Middle East. In Tunisia, for example, the Ennahdha party, a group ideologically indistinguishable from the Muslim Brotherhood, won 41 percent of the vote in last week's elections, swept into power by a people convinced that they offer reform and renewal. The sobering truth, however, is less ennobling. Reports from that country indicate that the group’s primary aim is to dismantle wholly all vestigial remnants of French civil institutions and laws and replace them with a fundamentalist version of Sharia.

Egypt soon will follow suit as upcoming elections will see the parliament filled with representatives of the aforementioned Muslim Brotherhood. The intents of that organization are well-known, including its goal of establishing a multinational Islamic caliphate and deliver Cairo into the hands of imams who meet its very strict Sharia-based leadership criteria. There will be no tolerance of dissenting sects or voices, including of the Coptic Christians, who have witnessed the murder of many of their adherents, as well as the burning of their churches and expulsion of more than 100,000 believers. There has been no mention from the professing Christian President of the United States, much less renouncement, of this indefensible pogrom being carried out by this “terrorist organization.”

The Arab spring was spontaneous. People under the thumb of dictators sometimes want to change that.

Don’t you agree?

Notice how your article has nothing to say about Syria.

Settle down, son. He also mentioned Trump's name for 4 years when he was testing nukes and a year ago when he shot off missiles, just like he did today.

Thought not. Let's review your awesome thread:

Whatever the North Korean leader does is the fault of whoever is the US president at the time.

Well we are all certainly dumber for having read this thread. But I would like to make a correction:

Kim Jong-Un did not always call Trump by name. Sometimes he called him "The Dotard".
