"The increased moves of the US and its vassal forces to impose sanctions and pressure on the DPRK [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] will only increase our pace towards the ultimate completion of the state nuclear force."
In a phone call on Monday, Mr Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping discussed the situation on the Korean peninsula, with the Chinese leader saying that both countries shared extensive common interests, Chinese official news agency Xinhua reports.
Earlier, the US military carried out an aerial military drill with South Korea near the border between the Koreas, the defence ministry in Seoul said.
The drill was to "demonstrate the deterrence capability of the US-South Korea alliance against North Korea's nuclear and missile threats", it added.
Defence Minister Song Young-moo told a parliamentary hearing that the exercises were being conducted "two to three times a month these days", Reuters news agency reports.
Separately, China and Russia began a joint naval exercise east of the Korean peninsula but it is unclear if it is linked to current tensions in the region.

China is the only one that can resolve this situation peacefully.
They hate the Japanese.
They hate Americans.
Unfortunately I don't think China really cares what happens.

Sadly enough, it does still work. I see no end in sight. The tactics and propaganda may change from time to time but the song remains the same.
The greedy war machine has a monstrous appetite for more more more.

The stage is set. The weapons emplaced. The trigger for the false flag event is coming.
What ever will it be?
More WMD?
Check
More Evil Dictators?
Check
More Regime Change and Intervention?

People it seems are more dumbed down than ever. But need endless demonization and false pretense more than ever.
The same old "Why we Fight" song and dance can't possibly work forever, can it?

We're still missing the "chemical weapons on his own people" and "killing babies in hospitals" elements. When you get those two, invasion is less than two months away.

It just seems that Trump is playing right into the game Kimmy set up. "look, I have a bigger pecker", No, I do!
We won't strike first if "we" know what's best, and he won't strike first as it would mean the end in a quick, fashion. So it seems the best thing to do here is ignore the little # and make him beg for attention. Keep the scope on him with the trigger pulled 60%, only needing that tiny extra squeeze to send the lead his way.
I can't help but think, if some of the North Koreans have found an education of what the world really is, and realize that overthrowing that little #er would be a wonderful thing and move them into the 21st century as another regular country.

NK doesn't have massive oil reserves, or any other commodities we need, so I would suspect they would be left alone if they wanted to, but the rhetoric that emanates from them says they want attention, and lots of it. I'm still at a loss as to why.
