prc strategic partnership with nk is history and has actually backfired. they helped nk acquire nuclear capability to play punk with u.s. allies, japan and sk, and this stupidity will haunt and backfire on them until the rogue uncontrollable leader such as fat boy kim gets taken out. they tried with his uncle and old guard who were pro-prc to stage a coup but it was unsuccessful. this led to fat boy severing ties with prc indefinitely. adding insult to injury he and his young turks sniffed out the old guards who were pro-prc and executed them all. those who were less guilty (by association to the old guard) were thrown to the gook gulag. prc now has zero control over and contact with fat boy kim. the kim jong nam episode is also connected with the prc. kim will also point 6.9 warheads at beijing and shanghai. that's not speak softly and carry a big stick. that's bungled friendship by being caught with pants down in a family orgy at his home while he's shitting his lunch. every superpower including russia, prc and u.s. has failed dealing with this rogue nation for the last 69 years. it was a little more peaceful and stalemated with jung ill in charge as he was prc's friend and in prc's pocket. not anymore with the failed prc-sponsored coup and over-reach. prc is actually now very thankful that there's a trump in charge - someone who can take this rogue out on their behalf and bury their grave mistake. all other potus have failed dealing with the nk scourge by keeping mouth shut and not doing anything to rattle the cornered critters. finally trump has rattled the cage and cause the critters to do something instinctive and perhaps necessary for survival - such as killing the fattest nut case. it's not only unprecedented but brilliant.
The Americunt's bullshit and bluster was made in the full knowledge that Article 2 of the 1961 “Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance” between China and N.Korea guarantees that both will come to the other's aid if one is attacked.
This Treaty is not one that is simply based on traditional relationships which makes it vulnerable to the usual and expected up and down cycles in a relationship. It's based on national security. Hence, even with the occasional strains in its relationship with N.Korea, China has not opted for the easy way out by renouncing the Treaty. If it was so "rattled" by the Americunts, it would have done so. Instead, it did the very opposite. Without the need for fanfare, chest beatings, bluster or schoolboy language, it firmly reiterated and restated its red-lines to the Americunts.
The Americunts may be stupid but they are not deaf. They have heard China's quiet message very loudly and clearly. Unless they want to spend a fortune buying 300 million plus body bags, the Americunts can do nothing but grovel before, and continue to phone Xi and beg China for help.
When all this Americunt bullshit and bluster is over, the only tragedy would be the redneck's failure to score a hat-trick in his alliterations. He started with the clever bullshit bluster of "fire and fury". He then proceeded with an equally clever "lock and loaded". But he fucked it up the third time. He used "regret it fast" in his latest presidential pronouncement. If he had used "regret and repent", he would have gone down the history books as the most poetic president who scored a huge hat-trick in the use of awesome alliterations.
