North Korea threatening to attack Guam

They backed off (bluffed) the last several times as well...otherwise they would no longer exist as a country.

 

True I added a link that you can read , it's from an AP story. The WSJ link was not readable without you registering a no go for me.

 

NK back down on Guam threat today, figures now hopefully the WH wont increase the tension again via tweets

 

What is unfortunately not unlikely ...

 

I wont call it "assistance", its mutual beneficial in term of business. Corp. make **** load $$$, ppl save few bucks, and we move some dirty manufacture to china that other wise will affect US environment. if you want to blame, blame the large US corporation, china simply open the door while the corp flood in to take advantage of cheap labor.

 

The US corporations make no more money making products in china than they would make building the stuff here

I blame the political swamp creatures in washington for forcing US companies to move production overseas

 

The lil dictator wanted a paycheck, other admins wilfully gave them one to shut up, the President decided not to so what's the problem? Lil kim knows he wouldn't be around to terrorize his population if he stuck at us. Self preservation is foremost on lil kim's mind, he saw what happened to Saddam and Kaddafi.

 

huh, congress did not force corp overseas, the corp did it to maximize the profit. I don't know where u get the idea its the government push corp out of US.

 

Yes it did

By removing tariffs on chinese products it forced American companies to move production overseas

 

They hate American workers and view them with great disdain.

WEIRD HOW THIS DIPLOMATIC SUCCESS ISN’T GETTING MORE ATTENTION: North Korean ruler stands down on threat to Guam.

All is proceeding as Austin Bay foresaw.

 

True

There is no love lost by the workers toward the corporations either

If both sides were a little wiser...

 

Big Corporations engage in a great deal of cronyism with Big Government, they enjoy a symbiotic relationship that takes from all of us. We need to remove all unnecessary barriers to any of us freely engaging in the provision of goods and services, even if such actions nick the bottom line of a Big Corporation in bed with Big Government.

 

How no welfare for corporations or individuals?

That would make both of us happy

 

Certainly no welfare or special handouts to corporations, our Representatives should negotiate for us with everyone on the principle of fair exchange of value with prices set by the market place which is how we all collectively register our input.

As for individuals, I would like to see every social safety net program, except Social Security scrapped in exchange for the government direct depositing into every American's account each month an amount that at the end of twelve months equals the poverty level of the United States.

The Federal Poverty Level in the US today is $12,060. We can send every American $1,005 a month in exchange for removing every other form of national federal assistance, wipe out poverty and its roughly revenue neutral, but, it offers no opportunities for political graft, so this proposal is not popular with the Poverty Pimps and the grievance industry.

 

Sorry but no means no

No government handouts to corporations or individuals

 

I don't think even my proposal is achievable and yours even less so.

 

You are probably right

Too many people have their hands in the taxpayers pockets

 

Kimmie just backed off Guam missile test. Meanwhile CNN reports on Trump's 'comments' about Charlottesville. Anyone surprised?

 

Sure ... but to shout on the past will not change the current situation, because the USA is for sure important as trade partner, but not the number 1 and as I still explained, China has the US on their balls if they wants!

 

The big question is, what does Nokor wishes to achieve in such a threat?
and will they have it if they launch a ballistic missile towards Guam or near Guam? and is it worth a threat against a US retaliatory strike?
I think the move to send ICBM's into Guam if really to be carried out is a big blunder or else a grave miscalculation on their part.

Yes, I don't know why more weigh was placed on China when it comes to confrontation,
what about the capability of the US?

 

He has the final goal to be totally respected as full member of the world and in the world and to be totally independent without any embargos, sanctions and so on!
To achieve this, his first step is to be in military so strong that he is (nearly) un-attackable for anyone ... and this he has achieved, because any attack on NK ends in a bloodbath for the attacker too!

The capabilities of the US are of course huge and no one denies that they are superior here in all issues, but this here is not "Iraq 3.0" and not Saddam as enemy! The NK forces have so much stuff and even mostly older versions, they can kill very well too and it is no military walk. The main problem and the core question is not, if the US can win the war - they will of course win - but how much causalities are the US people willing to accept to win against NK, particularly when NK does not fire the first shot and kills US people first?
This is the good question, because since end of WW-2 is one major rule in the world for all being enemy and getting in war with the US: "Survive as long as possible and kill as most US soldiers as possible, then the US public opinion will turn against the war and the US will end it"!

 

China is feeding off the US and the EU to build its economy

The euros may wish to continue being patsies for the chinese but in America the trump voters have woken up and see china as a threat

 

Yep, then act this way if you want... and become lonely and self isolated.

 

I think in the long run only two countries will matter in economic, trade and military power

And the hodge podge of new muslim dictatorships in euorpe will be tails on one or both of those two dogs

 

Yep ... and the Klansmen waving Nazi flags will rule you soon in the USA, I know. Maybe David Duke becomes next member in Trump administration when he will fire the next one of the incompetent corrupt swamp he has collected around him?

Get it, the times are over and out when the US was power #1 ... and this started in Spring 2003!
