Bloomberg: Biden to Tell Xi to Help on North Korea or Face More Drills
(Bloomberg) -- President Joe Biden will warn Chinese leader Xi Jinping of an expanded US military presence in the region if Beijing doesn’t help rein in North Korean military provocations, according to National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.
Speaking to reporters on Air Force One Saturday morning shortly before Biden arrived in Cambodia, Sullivan said North Korea is a threat to the US, Japan, South Korea and to “peace and stability across the entire region.”
Biden won’t make any demand of Xi but will share his perspective, Sullivan said.
“If North Korea goes down this road, it will simply mean further enhanced American military and security presence in the region,” Sullivan said. “And so the PRC has an interest in playing a constructive role in restraining North Korea’s worst tendencies; whether they choose to do so or not is of course up to them.”

WNU Editor: This all comes off as "help us or else". The Chinese never like being told publicly what to do.

"Rein-In North Korea"
Is being a nonnative speaker being used as an excuse to write certain headlines? (2nd thought)
A president must be seen to be doing things especially, if he has no brains. Is such case he must me an action figure president. With a thin number of accomplishments or everything you touch turning to lead, a White house staff might desire to normally hidden diplomatic exchanges public to boost the profile of their man and meal ticket. (1st thought)
Consider:
- Biden's singular legislative accomplishment is his reverse Midas touch Inflation Reduction Act.
- The man has no brains. He thanked the president of Columbia for the ASEAN meeting,
The headline seems to indicate that Biden wants China to reign. /I guess to reign supreme over us all.
//yes, a typo - and we have fun...
But China has no inclination or motivation to "reign in North Korea". North Korea is a very convenient thorn in the side of the US for China's purposes. Why would they try to "reign" that in?
Biden's popularity way down
Inflation way up
The border is a big issue
and yet GOP took a beating.
what to do? blame Trump!
the GOP, after following Trump in every move and approving of all he has done now uses him as scapegoat!

Serious. Is it Joe,? And if not then who?
7. Cut child poverty in half through the American Rescue Plan.
Asshole dumps 23 talking points
Look @ #7. If childhood poverty is cut in half will half the kids eating meals year round (school in session or not) be cut in half? No. that shows the lie of the bean counters.
By the time these children are 12 they will bein gangs or shooting people. It will be over drug territories, dissing or perceived dissing. have a black mayor who stole the election form their Hispanic rival. Have a Hispanic police chief. Local PD has an intel unit, but neither the PD nor the illustrious local paper will give a pareto analysis of who is killing who or why. One can only assume. Out of the murders this year one was a domestic. So we know the cause or probably causes. The rest we do not know or do not know the size of the problem.
16. Held Vladimir Putin accountable for his invasion of Ukraine by imposing stiff economic sanctions.
Sanctions did not work in 2014. They cost American jobs. They cost pork exports to Russia and China. Pork exports were $8,107,000,000 last year. They did not dissuade Putin from invading.
If Putin's winter offensive fizzles. Biden's mishandling of foreign affairs might result in BRICS growing.
It takes really, really FUCKED UP Democrat Party logic to curry favor with Iran that kills thousands many different years, but eschew a country that killed 1 man.
1 > 1,000
Lib Logic
Kashoggi was buds with Osama bin laden. So I can see, where liberal wingnuts would be upset
13. Strengthened the NATO alliance in support of Ukraine after the Russian invasion by endorsing the inclusion of world military powers Sweden and Finland.
Any American president would have done that.
Oh BTW it is still not a done deal after months and months. Problem is Turkey.do not look for Biden to take that bull by the horns.
10. Achieved historically low unemployment rates after the pandemic caused them to skyrocket.
Stupid cites U3. If you are honest you would cite U3, U6 and other stats like the labor participation rate.
10:42 is a corn fed idiot or a Russian troll.
and yet the Dems did great at midterm and Biden takes some credit. And GOP did a lousy job and Trump and pals are largely to blame. prove otherwise
From 1042 Everything is s Russian Troll. do not agree with him, but a Russian troll. dont think so. Just expressing a different opinion than yours
15. Gave Medicare the power to negotiate prescription drug prices
I've seen this movie before
I worked for a state agency. We had a software program to make it easy for people to make to register with the government and do so only once. The the development was to be about 3 years. Two years were passed and t was feared that if a Democrat was elected the new agency head, would kill the program and all the development time and cost would be wasted. Well a Republican was elected. So I thought the program development could continue. I was told that the Republican appointed agency head would kill the program anyway. The reason given was that the new head wanted to put his own stamp on thig s for his resume. you cannot do that by shepherding someone else's.
Trump had negotiated prices down. Joe Biden entered office and killed the program. Then he essentially recreated the same program.
So fuck off with your talking points BITCH!
Glad to see the former, retired prof is still here and still keeping up his pornography.
A slate of conspiracy theorists seeking to take over key U.S. election posts lost races in battleground states, after months of warnings from election experts and Democrats that their ascension could threaten American democracy itself.
The final nail in the coffin arrived on Saturday in Nevada, where Republican Jim Marchant, who helped organize candidates under the "America First" banner, lost his bid to become the state's top election official to Democrat Cisco Aguilar, Edison Research projected.
Haveing anger issues? Let me help you here. This not just the beginning. You are stuck in a long term historical cycle. This cycle just happens to be one of progressive liberalism. it is not going to change until it implodes on itself.
No reason to get angry. Everyone has been fed crap informaion and now we are all struggling to find the truth. Your frustration is not going to change. Better find a way to cope because the end is still a ways off.
BTW probably need to look at supporting the Russians instead of the Ukies. By default, The Russians have become the last bastion of Christianity.
When Maricopa country is election council is opaque for 2 years. When 30% of machines go down on election day. There definitely a conspiracy.
12:30 definitely is a Russian or Russian sympathizer.
How is Orthodox Russia going to work with anti-Christian China? A few churches are allowed to operate so long as they toe Xi's line. Xi's portrait must be installed in these churches. that is not very Christian. Who else did this? Hitler.
So what Is Orthodox Christianity worth?
No Gentle Reader, 12:30 is not a Russian Bot.
Let me help you. First you have this uncanny ability to get off subject. Second, this is inevitably followed up by a leap in logical discourse that makes your argument "non sequitur". Third, it all usually ends with the ad hominem.
But you do have command of a lengthy set of facts and historical reference points. The goal now is to place them together in a logical, understandable sequence.
Now the help session is over.
Back to our earlier discussion. You were having anger issues. You were given some counsel on what is happening and how you might start thinking of controlling your frustration that converts to anger.
Your world view seems to indicate a "traditional American philosophy". Believe in God, work hard, do your best, virtue , the sacredness of life , support your country, a disdain and outrage over the decadence, perversion of degenerate behavior. Sadly these perverted elements of our society not only support, but now celebrate this degenerate behavior. .
But all that is traditional thinking. You now have been forced to live in a new era. Those traditional values do not apply to a significant part of the US population and certainly not to the US elites and leadership. One simple item shows how far we have descended: the LBGT flag is flown at just about very embassy of the USA,
It is the world turned on its head and it is not going to get better.
So why support the Russians? Because they oppose the new progressive liberal order. As a matter of fact their constitution and church support typical 1950's American values. There is no parent one or parent two. Putin actually quotes the Bible in his speeches. The Russians are building cathedrals and churches with state support. Does this happen in the US? Of course not. It is all politically incorrect.
You somehow got confused and brought the Chinese into this comparison. It is not about the Chinese, it is about your support of traditional American values and yet you support the Ukrainians who are being supported by countries run by degenerates. This has become a battle of good and evil. Not for political reasons but for spiritual ones. If the Russians fall, then the western degenerates will all celebrate and push their agenda even harder. You do not see this?
