China warns of N. Korea conflict 'at any moment'
Source: MSN
A conflict over North Korea could break out "at any moment", China said Friday, warning there would be no winner in any war as tensions soar with the United States.
The sharp language came after US President Donald Trump said the North Korea problem "will be taken care of", as speculation mounts the reclusive state could be preparing another nuclear or missile test.
Trump has sent an aircraft carrier-led strike group to the Korean peninsula to press his point, one of a series of measures that indicate his willingness to shake up foreign policy strategy.
"Lately, tensions have risen... and one has the feeling that a conflict could break out at any moment," Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi said.

(4,407 posts)Are we going to get all blood thirsty, post-9/11 style, and get all excited about sending more Americans to their deaths unnecessarily and unnecessarily destabilize another whole region of the world?
Or is America going to blame Trump and his false bravado for blindly throwing the entire pacific region into chaos? Lay the horror of it all directly at his feet and the feet of Congress who stood by and allowed it?
I'm afraid it will be the former.

(374 posts)How can Congress just idly sit back and watch this happen? Pelosi wanted them to stay for a vote, but "no", too many important things to do than care what happens to our US forces, the South Koreas, Japan and Neighboring region.
Madman Little Hands needs to be stopped. His chaotic, erratic, inflammatory, ignorant ways must end. Twitter...disable his account as a matter of National Security please, because apparently no one else is willing to stand up to this buffoon.

OF COURSE we're going to get blood-thirsty. This is, apparently, our lot in life.

under 100 days Trump might have stopped that and started a war.

(70,510 posts).... problem w/N Korea can be solved w/diplomacy and war is not the only
answer. But Trump feels the Russia investigation closing in on him and so
he wants to start some shit.
During the cold war we had a hot line between the US and Russia to stop
any chance of starting WW III by mistake and why we can't talk now is beyond
me.
