and the yankees have won the world series already since they say they will. winning. Oh wait, They have to play the season, playoffs, and world series first. Bugger.
If so, yet another level of winning. Let's count the wins:
1. North Korea agrees to de-nuclearize
2. We pull out 28,000 troops from Korea, saving at least $1B/year and doing the right thing.
3. China has less to power to keep us buying 5x more from them than they do from us.

Oh come on Patrick! We firebombed numerous Japanese cities killing hundreds of thousands and escalated to using nukes. Germany was completely rubbled and cut in half between the West and the USSR. We had war crime trials and executed many senior leaders in Germany and Japan. Compared to Germany and Japan, we went in with a scalpel in Iraq not inflicting a fraction of the destruction (most of the destruction was done by the insurgency after).
Most importantly - we occupied both of these countries for decades, wrote new Constitutions and still have troops there 70+ years later.
If anyone should be in jail, it should be Obama for abandoning Iraq to ISIS and chaos after less than 10 years.
America did not totally squash Germany after WWII, and also left the emperor in nominal charge of Japan, and those worked out well.
GW Bush was both an asshole and a moron and completely destroyed the Iraqi power structure and murdered Saddam, who had absolutely nothing to do with 9/11. We are still suffering the consequences. Bush should be in jail.

Not that it mattered. The rebuilding process was intended to benefit one constituency: the corporations which donated to W’s campaign. Remember Halliburton? Hundreds of billions in contracts in exchange for millions on the campaign trail. That’s how democracies do coalition politics!

Sorry, when you depend on hundreds of billions in exports to keep your economy going, and have no welfare system, you depend on the client, not the other way around.
Somehow people think that we didn't make most of this shit ourselves, which we did going into the 1990s.
Kind of like banking: You owe the bank some money, you have a problem. When you owe the bank a lot of money, the bank has a problem.
They don't need Kim to do that.

Nope, we do not depend on the Chinese buying our debt. US Government Debt is one of the most desirable financial assets in the World and more than two thirds of long term Treasuries are held domestically.
Debt is only a problem when you are approaching default and have few options. Currently the dollar is very strong and US Treasuries are in high demand.The rest of the world owns 5x the long-term Treasuries as China, and the domestic market is many, many times China's holdings. The Federal Reserve alone has 2x the holdings of all of China in US Treasuries.
China buys US debt primarily to control the valuation of the Yuan, and to a lesser extent because of the Trade Deficit, and their unwillingness to buy American products in return leaves them with few options other than to buy Treasuries. In 2011, China dumped $200B in US Treasuries over a few days and suddenly, nothing happened - to the US Economy. China now owns less debt that it did.
Thanks to Bretton Wood, almost all world currencies are pegged to the US Dollar and buying US Treasuries is the best mechanism to stabilize and legitimize a foreign currency.
When China shifts from buying US Debt, it will only be because they are buying or investing American, or a desperate attempt to send the Yuan into free fall which would have MASSIVE Chinese Domestic consequences. Keep in mind Chinese are huge savers, all cash or real estate, and a devalued, non-dollar pegged Yuan would cause immense domestic hardship and rage. There's no welfare state in China to soften the blow, either.
Does the US not depend on Chinese buying billions in debt? China holds north of $1,170,000,000 of US debt. Correct me if I'm wrong. Who's the client? Who's got us by the balls, China that's who.

They sold ~$200B in one swoop in 2011 and suddenly, nothing happened to the US Economy.
RafiMaas says
Over 4x to 5x, not a big deal and minimal compared to domestic holdings in any case. Japan holds about as much, also. It's necessary for the world since the USD is the underpinning of the Global financial system with no immediate rival. There are multi-decade contracts for trillions upon trillions for everything from Oil/Gas to Corporate Bonds to Long Term Commodity Contracts that are USD denominated. If China dumps US Teasuries - which because of the varying maturity is more likely to hurt them really bad - others will benefit. And hundreds of millions of Chinese who save 25% of their income in cash and real estate will scream bloody murder as a huge chunk of their lifetime of savings is obliterated overnight - and blame their own Government.
BTW, if China does this, a proportionate tariff to at compensate for the lost value of the Yuan will beat the shit out of China, that would be rocked by massive unemployment and savings destruction on top of that. That'll teach 'em, while creating tons of new domestic jobs.
What kind of statement is this? $100 billion less than there all time high .... BFD

Wrong again. A little over 4x but who's counting... apparently me.
As of March 2018 China $1.19 T. Whole world $6.29 T
6.29-1.19= 5.1/1.19= 4.28x DNE 5x

Miniscule, relative to either China or Japan, and certainly relative to the overall ownership rate. Be surprised if it was more than 1% at the very best.

It's so easy to see through those vapid libtard morons. They act like they are analyzing reality, like they're some kind of analytical wonks but we all know the truth. That is they hate Trump. We know that everything Trump does is awesome and brilliant and beyond criticism. He never does things just for the optics, just for the "win." He's playing the long game.
All the analysts criticism is just becasue it's Trump and they hate him because they envy him. THere is no such thing as a legitimate criticism of anything Trump does. Criticism of Trump is the very definition of fake news. Actually it's treason, and if there were justice in this world all those that are critical of Trump would be tortured or worse.

So Close, and you lost it.
Better for me and my preferred policies, however.

Would that be Kim launching on Guam like he threatened?
Is Guam still on the planet?
Speaking of people miscalculating we would all do well to remember who is on the Official Potus cabinet dying for chance to launch something on someone somewhere.
Would that be Kim launching on Guam like he threatened?
Is Guam still on the planet?

So, there you go, all of the major MSM showing their TDS, apparently they didn't get the memo, and believe NK is a threat to Guam.
Now you know why Trump got elected!
Any questions?
Anyone foolish enough to believe Kim was/is a genuine threat to Guam and for that matter California deserves Drumpf as Potus.

All the liberals/SJW's are melting down about how Trump gave everything to China/Russia. Am I missing something here?
From my understanding, the only thing Trump agreed to was stopping the twice a year joint exercises that can be restarted at a moments notice. Doesn't seem like much of a concession, AND North Korea halted nuclear and missile testing, gave us our hostages, and verbally agreed to denuclearize. While there is a massive way to go still and an official treaty still needs to be done with verifiable checks - how is this a loss? Why are all the libbies claiming Trump gave it all to China/Russia and all this other conspiracy theory bullshit?
In my opinion, this is a great step towards peace, and aversion to nuclear war.
WTF???
