TIME FOR CHINA TO STEP UP-MAKE A REGIME CHANGE IN NORTH KOREA. THEY CAN DO IT.

THE KUHNS  REPORT

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

North Korea is at it again. Yesterday, Kim Jong Un, threatened to send a missile to strike Guam, where the U.S. has a large military base stationed  there.

President Trump said there would be "Fire Fury and Power" raining down on North Korea. That's all fine and good. In an earlier blog I said that if we, the U.S., cannot stop Kim Jong Un's nuclear ambitions through diplomatic talks and  recent sanctions, then yes -- as a last resort, and only as a last resort, take this clown out. Annilate the entire country of North Korea.

I say we do not have a lot of time to play around with the Democrat and Republican dog and pony show going on in Washington. They cannot agree on the same time of day. For example, as soon as president  Trump mentioned, "Fire Fury and Power, " the Democratic leaders found fault with his statements, and like always picked away at him, and even the obstructionist, (don't get along, not a team player,) senator John McCain , R-AZ., takes unwarranted swipes at the president.

It was only last year when a lot of these incompetent congress people told us that it would be at least five years before North Korea would be able to put a nuclear weapon together, let alone capable of striking the U.S. That's what president Obama told president Trump, as he was turning over the White House following the election.

President Clinton gave North Korea "billions of dollars."on North Korea's promise to stop working on a nuclear program. They took our billions and secretly continued building nuclear capability. Then president Obama, carried out the same policy as the Clinton  administration. And again, North Korea continued to go forward with their nukes. All this time our lame brains in Washington were sitting around twiddling their fingers refusing to take steps to upgrade our sophisticated defense weapons systems.

Now, North Korea is a clear and present danger and has moved  rapidly to weaponize to the point where their missiles can reach, not only the  west coast, but as far east as New York City.  North Korea now has the ability to miniaturize a nuclear head on an ICBM missile. And yet, our arm chair talking heads in and out of congress are saying North Korea is still 12 to 18 months away from having a viable weapon. What the devil is the matter with these lazy bums.

Folks, I predict that we, the U.S., only have a matter of months to act.

First, I would suggest that our military defense begin to upgrade all of the old, missile defense systems, and bring on line the laser technology systems that we have had operational ready for years. The missile deterrent system we have now, and have been crowing about these past few weeks, will not be capable to stop numerous missiles fired at one time. The reports indicate that we are lucky if we  score a hit only fifty (50) percent of the time, when trying to bring down only "one"  missile fire. That' bad odds people.

Second, as I said before- increase the effort to have diplomatic talks with North Korea , face to face so as to let  KIM JONG Un understand how serious we are about wiping their country off the face of the earth if they fire a missile  toward U.S. territory.

Third, put immense pressure on China to rein in North Korea. China is the only one that  has the power to force North Korea to stop their warring, threatening ways. China provides North Korea with ninety (90%) percent of their needs. China could put a stop to North Korea if they wanted to. but they have been dragging their feet. True, China signed on, as Russia did, to sanction North Korea but that does no good if they continue to prop us this rogue regime.

My suggestion to Washington and congress, regarding China is:

Place HEAVY, HEAVY, HEAVY sanctions on China. Place sanctions on China just as we did to North Korea. Except, these sanctions should be even more strict than those put on North Korea. As I stated in previous blogs. Give China a deadline to act. At this point in time I would suggest a ONE WEEK time line for China to act. No more. Make China understand that if they do not rein in this North Korea mad man, they, China, will have a big, big, price to pay,

What kind of sanctions should we place on China?  Lets start with the banking system. Stop  doing business with China banks and their financial system.We can restrict trade with China-(I think that would be  a good thing, personally). China has been taking advantage of America by stealing our intellectual property; using cyber-attacks against America; stealing billions of  names, addresses, passwords, confidential, sensitive data from our government agencies and corporations; and manipulating the currency to put America in debt. We can also freeze bank accounts of China and their elite party members who hide moneys and property here in the U.S.

Included in  those sanctions, we should stop China from buying and selling property here in the United States.. Basically, do  not allow China to invest in the United States and/or own property here. And, most of all, -- stop all of the Chinese leaders from sending their children and family members over here to be educated at our  higher learning  institutions.It seems as if all of China and their elite is willing to pay premium prices to get their children, friends, and relatives credentialed with degrees at Caltech, Berkeley, Stanford,  UCLA or USC. It's time to stop enormous numbers of the Chinese from coming to the U.S. to be educated. And what do the Chinese do after graduation. Return to China and use what they have learned  here in the U.S., against us. How crazy is this? We allow the Chinese to buy,sell, and own property here in the U.S., we educate their children and families in  our elite universities, but still, the Chinese government tells us they will take sides in  a military conflict "against us." That is unacceptable to this writer. I see it as an "either-or" situation. China can either support the U.S. as a global partner, or partner with rogue regimes and become an enemy of the U.S.

Clearly, very strict sanctions  would be  painful to the U.S. economy in the short term, but if that is what it takes to bring China in line,-- we Americans can stand a  little pain. It's better than coddling the Chinese like the last few administration has done. Bottom line: China either wants to work and support the American people, or they don't.

Why do I suggest these drastic sanctions on China? Simple. China has made it clear that they will side with North Korea in a conflict. They walked that statement back to some degree recently but we cannot trust the Chinese at their word. To prove  lack of trust--China said they would abide by the tough sanctions  against North Korea which they voted to enforce but they still choose to supply North Korea with supplies and energy.

Fourth, let China now that we will help weaponize South Korea, Japan, and Viet Nam with nuclear defense capability. I'm sure that will get China's attention, big time.. And, I would bet that when they see the heavy sanctions being placed on them, as well as having  their neighboring countries possess nuclear weapons, China, in all likelihood would consider changing the regime in North Korea. They then might take out Kim Jong Un, and replace him with a leader that they, China, can control.  China certainly knows all of the players in Kim Jong Un's regime. My way of thinking is that a change of regime in North Korea, carried out by China, is a very viable solution.  Once that regime change in North Korea is done, all of the sanctions placed on China could be lifted. Then the world could return to normal. As a move to sweeten the pot, and as an incentive, to have China act,  I would suggest our government advise China that the U.S. would seriously consider removing and withdrawing all military troops now stationed  as a barrier in South Korea. China has wanted that move for decades. And, that's my opinion, Make your own decisions. You decide.
