but, disingenuous as to the dynamics of this situation. Like this particular system is just the normal.

Russia is one thing, but the problem here is that NK can't be dealt with until China either checks off on it or is forced to own them.

These assholes are openly talking about the use of force against NK without squaring with China first.

Additionally, they are OPENLY talking. So, to whatever extent this is what happens routinely, it make us look like blathering dolts by drawing attention to it.
