The Christmas Present

Heh - how to defuse a potentially bad situation - from PJ Media:

Trump Unfazed by Kim Jong-Un's 'Christmas Gift' Threat: 'Maybe He Sends Me a Beautiful Vase'
North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un is worried. He demands sanctions relief... and he demands it now. Well, at least before the end of the year. If the international community and especially the United States do not comply, he will send some kind of "Christmas president": an unspecified action that's supposed to scare us all to death.

Sadly for Kim, President Donald Trump isn't impressed. Whatever North Korea does, Trump said while speaking at Mar-a-Lago, the U.S. will "deal with it very successfully." What's more, he argued, perhaps everybody's mistaken; maybe, it wasn't a threat but a promise for a "nice present."

"Maybe," Trump said, "he sends me a beautiful vase."

Hehe. Who knows, it could be. I'm sure that they make beautiful vases over there in North Korea. I mean, they can't produce much else, can they? Except for ballistic missiles and nuclear bombs, that is.

Kim really needs hard currency to keep his Apparatchiks paid off and for his family to remain in power. He is rattling his sabers trying to get President Trump to budge on the sanction. President Trump does not do "budge". His reply was perfect - let Kim know that he has no power on the world stage and if he does do something stupid, the rest of the world will come down on his nation with a ton of bricks. It does not hurt that we are in the middle of some very successful negotiations with Communist China - North Korea's biggest state sponsor.
