WSJ on the message that was sent by the US-South Korea large-scale naval exercise, despite China’s objections and NorKo’s pathetically over-the-top threats of raining down nukes on the whole proceedings.
China fears nothing about the exercise in a direct sense. It’s just Beijing worrying that the US and SouKo intending to pressurize the new kid on the block—Kim Jong Un.
Coincidentally, that is exactly what I would advocate.
Anything else lets Beijing off its self-created hook and gives Idiot Son #3 the wrong impression (i.e., that he’s anything but a historical placeholder). If we feed that numbskull’s ego, we will regret it in spades (like the kind you use to dig mass graves).
