Is Trump threatening China with military force??

[kentuck]

He is super-pissed that China is ignoring his claims of negotiations going on over trade and tariffs. He cannot get them to the table and the shit is about to hit the fan. It makes him look desperate and weak.

So, in his comments yesterday at "news conference", he felt the need to insert his threats about America having weapons more powerful than anyone can imagine. At the time, I thought it was directed at China. Since nothing else seems to work to get them to take the squeeze off Trump, maybe he underhandedly threaten them with some sort of military weapons?

Did anyone connect his comments to his failure to get China to negotiate?

1. Someone

may need to tell him they have hundreds of nukes that can hit the USA. We aren't the only ones with weapons in this situation.

5. I know. Trump is a real eejit when it comes to governing.

He keeps trying the godfather approach, which is really the
absolutely worst way to deal with other countries.

6. There is a price to pay for incompetence.

Sometimes the price may be very high?

4. We always knew he is unqualified for the office and does not understand the enormity of the stakes involved.

12. Trump only sees things from the perspective of his personal benefit.

He is incapable of understanding issues from the perspective of what is best for the nation or American people.

9. TSF repeatedly and not rhetorically asked

why can’t nuclear weapons be used.

China will be a temptation I suppose.

10. That is just dumb ---the world "superpowers" never fuck with

countries of substantial strength - they always use a proxy to do the dirty work....think Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan (in the case of the US). They become expendable killing fields without doing damage to the homeland.

I certainly hope we do not fuck with China...or anyone for that matter...how about spending our precious resources - human and capital - to make the world better for a change? Is that our of the question?
