Russian and Chinese Plan for North Korean Crisis - NK Update 4 - North Korean Crisis

Telegraph: Reports " Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia and China would back a deal that would see North Korea freezing missile tests in exchange for the US and South Korea halting large scale military exercises.  "

Lets Get Real: 

The US has rejected this plan, it would be seen as a victory for North Korea and a defeat for President Trump.   Also this is not 1962, when JFK sold out Turkey over the Cuban Missile Crisis.  If the US and South Korean Army training does not take place it will be seen as the Trump Oval blinking when faced by a nuclear North Korea.   The Russians just want to be in the game, while China just wishes it would all go away.   The North Koreans have to blink first and China has to make sure that they do that, or if a nuclear war does happen then radiation will go over the border of China.   The clock is ticking!!

The Reality and the Rhetoric of the North Korean Crisis, NK Update 3 - North Korean Crisis

Guardian: Reports " Donald Trump warns North Korea that US is ‘locked and loaded’..US president continues to escalate threats at North Korea over Twitter during ‘working vacation’ but no troops have been put on higher alert or redeployed "

Lets Get Real:

This is not the crunch time, that will come should NK launch missiles at Guam, one can only hope that NK decides that the best path is to delay such an operation and offer talks to the US, of course the NK Regime will spin it as  a victory for them, the rest of the World will know that NK blinked first.   The problem would also come up should NK place conditions on those talks, that the planned US and South Korean Army training does not take place this year, that the US can not do, it would look like weakness, and a win for NK.   The Trump Oval can not afford to look weak when faced by North Korea and China. 

China on North Korea and the US - North Korea Update 2 - North Korean Crisis

Daily Mail: Reports " Chinese state-owned paper says China will intervene and stop America if it attacks North Korea first - and will only stay neutral if Kim attacks the States first  "

Lets Get Real:

This is an enigmatic statement from China, what if North Korea launches missiles at Guam, and the Trump Oval sees that as an attack after it warned NK.  This places China is a tight spot, does it support its ally while it gets attacked or does it do nothing, does the Trump Oval do a deal with China, it takes action against NK and as long as NK does not hit South Korea or Japan it will be a limited strike.   Thus the question how much control does China have over NK, it has been said that it could turn off the lights of NK if it wanted too, the question is that true.

Trump the Cowboy vs. Crazy North Korea - North Korean Crisis

BBC News: Reports " President Donald Trump says the US military is "locked and loaded" to deal with North Korea, ramping up the rhetorical brinkmanship. "

Lets Get Real:

The inner Cowboy is coming out of President Trump, one can only hope that his Chief of Staff and Defense Secretary can control him, the real crunch time will come should NK launch missiles at the waters of Guam.  In that event no President could not react, it would be a direct threat to the US, one can only hope and pray that China can control NK.  THE rhetoric is heated, one can only hope that there are back channel talks going on between, China, North Korea and the US.  The clock to nuclear war is ticking down, Asia could become very hot very fast.
