It's now their turn to take care of the baby, or the US will because we need to.
May all be true - but that doesn't negate that we need to figure out what the PRC will do before we start dropping bombs....

Re: North Korea News
They barely use our markets. If we cut them off from buying our bonds however.. Well, we might as well eat the nukes.Zlaxer wrote:Zlaxer wrote:The Conservative wrote:

Things could get out of hand very quickly....
I'm hoping that we're telling the PRC that we'll shut them out of our markets if they do anything against our interests if we go after DPRK....we should be telling the PRC to fix the DPRK issue or we will shut them out.....

Not sure where you're getting your info - but US markets are very important for PRC.....and I'm all for causing a bond explosion....tired of kicking the can....also, we can just tell them we ain't paying - fuck off - we''re sovereign and can be assholes right back at you.

Re: North Korea News
That's cool. But defaulting on our debt and telling everyone to fuck off would pretty much guarantee that we're done with anything resembling an economy. You can write off 2/3rds of humanity, in the fallout from that, as well. That's mad max time.Zlaxer wrote:GrumpyCatFace wrote:They barely use our markets.

Re: North Korea News
I agree.. But I don't look forward to living through that. The time for this to be fixed was roughly the same time that the Korean situation got punted to us.Zlaxer wrote:Sooner it blows up - sooner we can rebuild on stable ground....GrumpyCatFace wrote:That's cool.

Re: North Korea News
Is it possible the US and PRC have agreed that the US will invade, then the PRC will occupy?

Re: North Korea News
Most likely.. we will *not* be invading but doing naval and air strikes, and if there is any occupying, the Chinese will do that.Zlaxer wrote:Is it possible the US and PRC have agreed that the US will invade, then the PRC will occupy?
If we cross the DMZ, China is going to war.
