North Korea’s Kim Jong-Un continues to push the world closer to war.
His rogue nuclear weapons program threatens global conflict.
But he never imagined it would lead to this.
China is North Korea’s benefactor.
Trade with Beijing, as well as economic support, keeps North Korea afloat.
China fears that if the North Korean government collapses, they will face a massive influx of refugees.
One area of commerce is fuel.
China’s state oil agency sells North Korea petroleum so they have energy to allow their country to function.
That all changed.
China’s National Petroleum Corporation has suspended business with North Korea over concerns their nuclear weapons program could lead to global conflict and disrupt payments.
Reuters reports:
China National Petroleum Corp has suspended sales of fuel to North Korea over concerns the state-owned oil company won’t get paid, as pressure mounts on Pyongyang to rein in its nuclear and missile programs, three sources told Reuters.
It’s unclear how long the suspension will last. A prolonged cut would threaten critical supplies of fuel and force North Korea to find alternatives to its main supplier of diesel and gasoline, as scrutiny of China’s close commercial ties with its increasingly isolated neighbor intensifies.
CNPC and the Ministry of Commerce did not respond to requests for comment. North Korea’s embassy in Beijing declined to comment.
Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang, asked about the sale suspension and whether the Chinese government put pressure on CNPC to make this decision, said: “I do not understand this situation you are talking about” and declined to elaborate.
A source with direct knowledge of the matter said CNPC decided to put fuel sales on hold “over the last month or two” and described it as a “commercial decision.”
“It’s no longer worth the risks,” said the source. Chinese and international banks are stepping up compliance checks on companies dealing with countries on the U.S. sanctions list, such as North Korea, he said.
This could also be seen as China exerting economic pressure in order to force North Korea to back down.
Trump was criticized in the media for not labeling China a currency manipulator, but it was part of a bigger strategy.
He needed China’s help to diffuse the North Korea situation, and there was no need to antagonize them right off the bat when he was counting on their assistance.
The move paid off.
China’s leaders are using the leverage they have to try and get North Korea to pull back from the brink.
War is in no one’s interest.
China made a smart move, I wonder if North Korea is up to date on payment now?
Maybe the people of North Korea will get smart & knock Kim Jong Dumb out of power!
Ya think!!?
I’ve been hearing ‘rumors on the wind’ that this may be in the ‘works’!! There is a young, N. Korean who is working in getting information to the N. Korean people concerning what is ‘really’ going on in the world!! He wants them to know something other than the propaganda that Kim is blasting them with day and night!!! He is printing information and distributing it all over N. Korea. He is calling for the people to rebel. Since they are starving and ‘dirt’ poor–this could start a rebellion Kim has no idea could actually ‘happen’!!
He’s spent enough on weapons to feed most of the hungry in the world. I’ve heard most of NK people are starving. Quite a great leader isn’t he?
Never happen! The Kim Jung family has had 3 generations to brainwash the population and they’ve got about 95% thinking they are Gods. If SHTF in NK, expect a mass suicide similar to what happened in Jonesboro with the Jim Jones cult. Brain washing is easy today; look what the Clintons did to their supporters
I know what you’re saying but China has cut off fuel supplies till Kim Jong Un backs off the Nuclear Missile testing.
Maybe the Chinese are starting to see capitalism as a good thing and cannot waste time with NK and if they cut the supply line the NK citizens will flow toward SK and not China.
Re-unite’ Spread the wealth North.
Well, they FINALLY have a “Middle Class” and you KNOW MAO has turned over in his glass coffin many times since that happened!!
Now what’s needed is to send in the Navy Seals to take out Kim Jong-un and his top generals! This will do two major things, first it will re-unite Korea into “The Peoples Republic of Korea”, and two will destablize that whole region when we have the ability to move our troops into the area and set up bases!
I think ur wrong….I think what needs to happen is the ppl. have to get fed up with him and his regime and somehow force a way to get rid of himself through suicide , THEN if that don’t work…..send in the Seals
The people are ‘fed up’ with being cold, hungry and over-worked!! They have lost hope for anything better. As I posted earlier—a young N. Korean, who has been outside of his country, has returned to ‘educate’ them to the ‘truth’!! This could well result in a rebellion!! I’d say, one way or another–Kim’s ‘time’ is limited!!
It’s too bad how one person can hold the whole world in fear( look at Hitler) and I hope ur right about his “time limit” Thank You for your response !
Deborah, I pray his time is limited! Also pray for the safety of the young Korean as he tries to get the truth into the eyes, ears and hearts of his people..
Might interfere with our relations with China. Never can tell how they’d feel about U.S. occupation of an allied state on their border. They could be assembling a welcoming committee already.
Biggest problem, Dave, is that the N. Korean people for the most part are totally ignorant of the ‘outside world’! Kim has kept them isolated as did his father before him. All they know is what Kim ‘tells’ them!! They have been told that Americans want to take over their country and kill them all. Of course, Kim presents himself as the ‘hero’ who is protecting them against the ‘evil’ Americans!! Since they know nothing else–they are terrified of us. They would not challenge the border to cross into S. Korea for fear of being returned to the North and shot.
Well, Just like the Germans. When they reunited it was tough for a while. Now things are equalizing between them. China is going to have to let it happen.
The only thing that will stop North Korea is if LIL KIM and the rest of the upper echelon on North Korea are Taken out as in asassinated.!!
Trump Always knows what he’s doing in stuff like this
Show me the beef, the NK fruitcake has most likely stored barrels of fuel underground, just for this event.
if you think china is going to go against the u.s. your a fool , your talking billions, ,n.norkea can’t afford to feed it’s people, communisum doesn’t work
Tell that to the Liberals.
And once again our new President shows us his expertise in handling business deals.
We, especially the politicians,can learn BIG by paying attention to the moves Pres. Trump makes….none are for nothing, all have a reason, all are well thought out and purposeful….God Bless our President.
Frankly I think Prez Trump is an master negotiator. Can you imagine Obama or even the Bushes achieving such results?
YES >>> I strongly feel that WE THE PEOPLE are blessed and very fortunate to have him as our President. He knows what to do and what is best for the Country and goes about taking care of his responsibilities in spite of the Flak coming at him from every direction. He is the best and will hopefully win over at least some of his detractors.
I bless every day that President Trump was elected!
Yes Johnny, and please include some prayers that God keeps him safe. He is a good man and we have been blessed to have him at this very critical time in our History.
Just read some of the prayers in the beginning of Psalms. It mentions how God puts our leaders in place, and removes them, and how He punishes those who try to take them down!!! Think we’re beginning to see some of the results of that??? Think some of the heads are “beginning to fall”!!!! I think Obama was put there, to wake us up as to what was going to happen if WE didn’t change and come back to HIm!!!
Now that Susan Rice is to testify, Obama has fled the country. He left for Indonesia last Friday. My–how the ‘mighty’ are ‘falling’!! He’s too much a coward to face one of our courts in this country!!!
Susan Rice FIRST testified in secrecy before it was announced she would testify in public. I for one have become so sceptical of our Congress that I believe the Congressmen already know all the details of the crimes, but wanted her promises that she would not disclose their crimes and in return, they would not ask the questions that would cause her to be indicted for her crimes. These are rat-bastard criminals we’re talking about and EVERYTHING is agreed to ahead of time. Drain The SWamp! ELECT NO INCUMBENT!
Now that you mention it, I do remember something being said about this. Sadly, the citizens of this country have taken a ‘beating’ in being able to trust our governmental people. Trust is ‘earned’–not a ‘right’ by appointment!! Anyone associated with the Obama regime is not to be trusted. The more quickly they are replaced–the better. More and more people are becoming aware of the depth of corruption in Congress!
I AGREE WITH YOU GRANDPA.
its like the rats are leaving the ship
WE WISH !!!!!!
He went to where he was born,why else would he have sealed all his records from the public,what a scum ball.
I find it difficult to argue or find any fault at all with the words in the Bible.
I hope these are true.
For sure I have no doubt about the Obama part of what you have stated…..it makes perfect sense and certainly seems Biblical in how it all happened…..Good Message Danna
I AGREE 100% DANA. I KNOW IN MY HEART PRESIDENT WAS ELECTED DUE TO DIVINE INTERVENTION. HE KNEW OUR COUNTRY COULD NOT CONTINUE WITH THE LIBERAL EVIL IN OFFICE. THANK YOU LORD.
So Very Well Said. KUDOS TO YOU
BOBBY ~!~
Thanks so much BoB….
For the first time in eight years I am proud of the Americans that voted for Donald Trump. If communism / liberalism is to be stopped in the USA we now have the right person in the position to do it. If the people that oppose and dislike our constitutional democratic republic(read: liberals, socialists, progressives).they are free to seek their liberal utopia somewhere else. Nobody is holding them hostage.
Problem is NO ONE else wants them. They know they are nothing but trouble. So what else can we do with them?
I love the guy. course the dems try to make him look dumb but are gettinn
Very far from dumb
Amen
Thank you China. Thank you Pres. Trump.
China doesn’t need any refugees.
China has built large cities that no one lives in just to keep their people working.
I guess trading fuel for saving millions of lives in a nuclear Holocaust is a smart move for these Asian idiots!
Looks like China is keeping a ear open to this after all……….what’s next?
YOU LIBERS WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THE WORKINGS OF PRESIDENT TRUMP. HE HAS ACCOMPLISHED MORE IN 5 MONTHS THAN OBUMA HAD DONE IN 8 YEARS!
OBUMA accomplished a lot things. Trouble is they were all bad!
Swimming upstream against the ‘tide’ of Liberal sewerage out of Washington all the way!!! His stamina and will power
are amazing!!
YAY!!
YES!!!!!
they can get all the oil gas ect from issis or alicada.but china wont hold out long nc. is a good frend.
China is worrying about “disrupting “payments but not nuclear disaster?
Donald Trump is the best president ever and the Demorats can’t stand it…TRUMP 2020!! MAKE AMERICA EVER GREATER!!!
Not only Trump 2020, but lets help drain the swamp in 2018. Replace every Democrat Communist with a fresh Republican, and do the same with the RINOs.
Imagine what Trump could accomplish if he had a congress like that!
EXACTLY RIGHT…THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS WOULD BE ENDLESS AND AMERICA WOULD BE GREATER THAN EVER…draining the swamp is going to be harder then he thought and the Swamp Dweller are deep in the swamp…it will take time….
Ever since Mainland china absorbed Hong Kong, they have been allowing modified forms of capitalism. Independent exporters, privately owned and operated factories. Non Chinese participation in Chinese factories and businesses. I know of Canadians who have partial ownership of some things in China. They have a more intelligent form of Communism. May God bless and guide the Chinese President Trump and GOD BLESS AMERICA. Happy 4th of July!!
None of this would happen without Trump. Keep him and his family in your prayers.
Amen! God’s hand is on this man to do HIS will for our country.As long as he continues to lead as he has started (i.e. his speech @ the Kennedy Center yesterday), God will continue to lead and protect him!!!
YES, PLEASE PRAY DAILY FOR OUR PRESIDENT AND HIS FAMILY BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY WHO WOULD LIKE TO MURDER OUR PRESIDENT AND THEY WOULD GLADLY MURDER JUST TO HURT HIM.
WE LOVE YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP AND YOUR FAMILY, SO PLEASE DON’T TAKE ANY CHANCES WHAT EVER. THIS IS SO SAD TO SEE OUR COUNTRY HAS FALLEN SO FAR DOWN UNDER OBAMA.
Bout time China, shows where they stand on fat boy and his nuclear ordinance.
Interesting. China pulls a definitive move to put pressure on N. Korea but ‘saves face’ by claiming it’s in the economic interest that they did it! Very ‘clever’! Whatever ‘works’, China–whatever ‘works’!!
You people are brainwashed, or wealthy. Trump causes more conflict, problems, in the world then he could possibly do good, or anything worthwhile. He is an embarrassment to the United States Taxpayers. It is beyond me why he hasn’t been fired. I guess the whole US economy has to completely collapse before you seen just how unsmart Trump really is. He is not working for us, he works for big business, the wealthy, the rich. Trump did not win by popular vote. His popularity is going downhill fast. Even for the people that actually voted for him. Trumps expertise is in, not working, unless you call golfing work.
And—exactly ‘what planet’ did you just ‘fly’ in from? LOL
You are a brain-dead libertard if you believe that.
You can ‘tell’ this one is a ‘lib’!!! Calling other people names while displaying ‘same’ of ‘self’!! LOL
Quit drinking the kool-aide! He is NOT an embarrassment to those of us who want our country back & want God back in our country!!! He is what we prayed for and God answered our prayers. God’s word says that ALL leaders are put in place, AND removed, by God. He gives some pretty strong warnings to anyone who tries to take down the leaders HE puts in place! Wouldn’t go there if I were you!!! And NO ONE could beat Obama’s time spent on a golf course. Difference is, Trump is so good and so fast, he can do 10 x’s the work in a day that Obama did, and still have time to “tweet” and play golf! LOL
This one is still pulling out the worn-out ‘popular vote’ card!!! Good Grief!! A company actually went through the trouble of a ‘re-count’!!! Hillary claimed a 3million ‘popular’ vote over Pres Trump!! The actual figures came out to
5.3 million ‘illegal’ votes in her favor!!! These were illegals who never should have voted, multiple voters, questionable ‘machine’ votes and the ‘dead’!!! HOW does that come out to her getting the ‘popular’ vote? The old joke: Hillary in court answering to charges of having ‘dead votes’—“But, Your Honor, if they ‘could’ have voted, I’m sure they would have voted for Me!” LOL
Art of the Deal and The Dictators Handbook meet.
Kudos Mr. President Trump. (I just LOVE saying that!)
As a beautiful twist of irony that will drive the Dems, Rinos, Libs, Socialists, Commies and Social Justice crowd berserk … The Great Gearoni wants to be the 1st to predict …The 1st female President of the United States will be…wait for it….wait for it….Mrs. Ivanka Trump Kershner.
Unless things change drastically–I’d hope Ivanka would be wise enough to stay out of the political arena!!! She’s too lovely and intelligent woman to be ‘spilling’ blood in there!!!
This is better than a nuclear attack. I assume some nk person will take this guy out. Politicians have, in the past, been assassinate for a lot less than what he does?
Trump is exactly what this country needed. He will make mistakes, but he is a master negotiator, loves this country, and protects our constitution. Obama couldn’t even negotiate which bathroom to use……
Obama does seem a bit ‘gender confused’, doesn’t he??
KIM IS WANTING A WAR DESPERATELY. HE IS NOT GOING TO BEHAVE IN ANY WAY. HE LETTING HIS OWN PEOPLE STARVE TO DEATH. HE HAS EVEN HAD SOME OF HIS RELATIVES MURDERED. THE LONGER WE WAIT TO GET THIS UNDER CONTROL, THE MORE TIME HE WILL BE HAVING TO GET HIS NUCLEAR BOMBS IN ORDER, AND WE SURELY DON’T WANT THAT SO I AGREE THAT THE TIME IS NOW TO STOP HIM AND HIS EVIL WAYS.GOD BLESS ALL OF US I PRAY AND ESPECIALLY OUR MILITARY MEN AND WOMEN WHO WILL BE RISKING THEIR LIFE FOR OUR SAFTEY, IN JESUS NAME. AMEN
North Korea leadership needs major surgery! that may include some CIA involvement like they did with Bin Laden. And maybe a simple blockade would do the trick like they did not do in Haiphong harbor.
War is of great interest to the NWO and our elitist cabal of the Military-industrial complex. Without war, the only need to borrow big & international bankers money is to rebuild what was destroyed by war and that is not very profitable.
Identify the USA mission objectives to define success for any war since WW2 and find if any of these objectives were every satisfied, Try zero & zero for the answers.
Little fat nut might be too stubborn to budge, and in that case the people of NK suffer even more! No way the world should allow little fat nut to continue to abuse his people in this manner. I believe this is worth a try and I give Trump and China credit for trying it…but if it fails, little fat nut has to go!
After the phony illegal we had in our White House, who only cared about destroying America instead of making America great for the people that he works for, shows you what a real leader he really is and someone who really cares about the country and the people he works for.
God bless you President Trump. May the Lord stay by your side….
Not only does Kim Jong-Un have an ultra-ugly hair cut, he is simply a short-fat-bully (or so he thinks). Working with the U.S., China can be a huge player with putting this A-hole where he belongs. (Down a groundhog hole with a lead projectile in his head. Then the stink will stay underground.) Result: a safer world.
Finally China got smart—-It looks like they are not that stupid after all!!!
I am not that worried, he is a dead dog.
They need to cut all ties with North Korea. Period. No food no petroleum no NOTHING. Let the SOB scrounge like the dog he is.
Trump is A Great president Im hoping he will take obamas 600,million dollar presonal bunker the tax payers were forced to build him
The left’s claims about Mr.Vanilla-T continue to crumble … while Poke` Jong Un’s power is depleted by the Trump-Un-ator
Oh, bullshit, it is what it is, the chinks are afraid they won’t get paid!
I am glad that Trump is our President, but he must start acting more presidential and stop tweeting!
One thing to remember here which is very important and crucial to keep the ball rolling and not picked off by the left. Not everybody reads or gets access to these articles we are reading. Only by the people sharing these articles all around the internet to get them in front of other minds to get them to see what is really happening and not what mainstream news is telling them.
President Trump’s IQ is Genius Obama’s is not!
Obama doesn’t have an IQ.
Thank God for Trump! I can just see Obama cow-toeing to this fat little toad trying to appease him. The though of another Obama president (Hillary) makes me sick!
I credit God for answering prayers for peace before I credit a man.
SEND IN THE SEALS, WE ARE BEHIND THEM AND HAVE BEEN WANTING THEM TO GO IN FOR SOME TIME. NOW IS THE TIME BEFORE IT BOILS OVER.
iTS TIME FOR US OR SOME COUNTRY TO SWAT KIM JUNG UN AND RENDER HIM DOWN FOR FAT FOR SOAP MAKING
