The nuclear bull dog of China - who they helped with arms, mobile launch platforms and even the fuel - is trying to make the world hate Trump again so we vote him out of office and China pays Kim Jong Un mightily. It's trillions at stake just in terms of IP and copyright theft the US will want back. On top half a trillion trade deficit. On top trillions and trillions the Chinese claim in the South China Sea. And of course the gem of the gems..rich and geo strategically important, free democratic Taiwan?

Trillions at stake indeed. James bond novel for real. How far will Kim go and how far Trump and Xi go? The individual stakes (death for Kim and death for Xi of either fails to deliver and personal, followed by business death for Trump )

We are seconds away from midnight
