#2 Hey, any deal with the Norks would have hinged on China's willingness to enforce it. Sounds like Kim was gonna fold anyway, and decided to give the credit to Xi rather than have Trump claim it.
The bottom line is whatever works.

#3 My take as well Ed. Going back to HQ to get the party line prior to the POTUS visit. I am neither encouraged or surprised. Might want to keep Air Force-1 pilots and crew restricted to Flight Operations. Could be a quick turnaround.

Not yet methinks.

#5 I'm also thinking second order effect, that China really, really doesn't want Japan building IRBM's. And then selling them to everybody in the neighborhood.

#6 Until the next Democratic president at least. I hear that Madeleine Albright is available.

#8 Having read Scott Adams and applied my own 50 yrs of experiences I truly think that Trump is playing a very nuanced, sophisticated game with the whole F'n world.

Don't listen to what he says; watch what he does AND what his adversary/target do and say. This just strikes me as a very high level negotiating strategy. Whether it all works or not is TBD but it ain't random either.

#9 China will try to leverage this.
