On Korea Trump is becoming trapped by his own rhetoric
ALEXANDER MERCOURIS
Donald Trump's rhetoric and actions have created a crisis in which his adversary Kim Jong-un holds the initiative on further escalation.
President Trump’s recent tweet claiming that the US has “no choice” but to accelerate its military build-up, has an unusually defensive and self-justifying tone, suggesting a certain level of awareness of the extent to which the situation in Korea is starting to spin out of his control, and may be sign of the pressure he is coming under.

ΤHE U.S. AND CHINA: WHY THE SUDDEN CONVERGENCE ON NORTH KOREA?

It was no coincidence that America's 11-ton bunker-tunnel busting bomb was deployed in Afghanistan as tensions mount over North Korea's nuclear theats.

In the past, China resisted U.S. saber-rattling against North Korea. Now China is threatening North Korea with military action. What's going on? Why the sudden convergence of U.S.-China threats of military force against North Korea?

ΒΟΡΕΙΑ ΚΟΡΕΑ:Αψήφισε τις ΗΠΑ και εκτόξευσε πύραυλο!

Η Βόρεια Κορέα αψήφισε την απαίτηση του Ντόναλντ Τραμπνα εγκαταλείψει τα πυρηνικά και πυραυλικά προγράμματά της, εκτοξεύοντας πύραυλο το πρωί της Κυριακής, από πεδίο δοκιμών κοντά στο Σινπό.

Ομως, η δοκιμαστική προσπάθεια απέτυχε κατά τα φαινόμενα. «Ο πύραυλος εξερράγη σχεδόν αμέσως», δήλωσε εκπρόσωπος των ενόπλων δυνάμεων των ΗΠΑ. Οι Αμερικανοί ακόμη αξιολογούν τη δοκιμή, αλλά εκτιμούν πως δεν επρόκειτο για διηπειρωτικό βαλλιστικό πύραυλο (ICBM).

There is a growing consensus that the first genuine crisis of Donald Trump’s presidency could involve North Korea and, more specifically, its ability to place a nuclear warhead on one or more ballistic missiles possessing sufficient range and accuracy to reach the continental United States. A crisis could stem from other factors as well: a large increase in the number of nuclear warheads that North Korea produces, evidence that it is selling nuclear materials to terrorist groups, or some use of its conventional military forces against South Korea or US forces stationed there.

SOURCE: ZERO HEDGE

North Korea just lost a very big ally.

On Saturday, China said that it was suspending all imports of coal from North Korea as part of its effort to implement United Nations Security Council sanctions aimed at stopping the country’s nuclear weapons and ballistic-missile program. The ban, according to a statement posted on the website of the Chinese Commerce Ministry, takes effect on today and will last until the end of the year. While China will hardly suffer material adverse impacts, Chinese trade - and aid - have long been a vital economic crutch for North Korea, and the decision strips North Korea of one of its most important sources of foreign currency.

North Korea has been very active militarily in the Middle East over the decades, from sending pilots to assist Egypt and Syria in the October 1973 war to cooperating with Damascus on a nuclear reactor in the new millennium.

Pyongyang has sold missiles of different ranges as well as light ammunition to Middle Eastern states, and has even sold to terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah. Pyongyang’s
