Inform China that any offensive act by North Korea will be regarded as being sanctioned by them, and that we will respond accordingly.
Without a doubt, one of the worst ideas I've ever heard in regards to how North Korea is handled.
You don't play chicken with China.
We have exactly zero leverage with North Korea without resorting to military action. China does.
and what makes you think china is gonna take the threat of being sanctioned from the US and do what US want them to do? You think China is the type to country that reacts well to US threat?
Were you alive during the 70s and 80s? The USSR was ten times the threat that China is now. Let me guess - China will bury us, right?
Naa, they are just gonna laugh at your threat and say f**k u.
No they won't, they need us to buy their goods. We stop buying their goods, their economy tanks. They say ****** you, we say ****** you back and don't repay the $1 trillion they have in our bonds.
Who's gonna buy your Bonds? China has a lot of leverage with the US, it's not just a one-way street.
