The Chinese/North Korean Crossroads
We stand at a crossroads.
With the recent attacks by North Korea against our allies in South Korea – we stand at a crossroads. Certainly President Obama stands at a crossroads. He can either see this for what it is, or back down and "negotiate".
What North Korea has done to the small island of Yeonpyeong, it also leaves China in a precarious position. China has thus far, not effectively told the North Koreans to “Knock it off.” And now the USS George Washington is moving in – and I think there will be more to come.
The President of China – Hu Jintao - will be in Washington in January. What a state dinner this will be! I have a suggestion for President Obama on how to approach this:
“President Jintao, if you like selling your products here in the United States, you best tell your buddies in North Korea to shape up. Otherwise, we’re going to tax the living crap out of your stuff coming in. Go ahead and cry to the United Nations. File your sanctions, call your bonds…whatever. If you want to hang out with the North Koreans, we’re OK with that. Just don’t expect to move your products here unless you are ready to pay a 100% import tax. Besides, we truly don’t need you – we just like your prices because we can’t make it here ourselves due to the outrageous wages we have to pay.”
Pretty much – play by our rules…or don’t sell anything here. We’ll cripple your economy in a couple of months. If I’m Walmart – I’d be looking for other vendors as soon as possible. As a shopper – I’ll be saving some money. Why? Prices will go sky high due to the wage demands of the American worker.
Or will America step up to the challenge and go back to work for less than what they want and/or feel they deserve?
Just to be clear – prices will go through the roof. However, unemployment will drop like a rock. We’ll have the same standard of living, but we’ll be back to work. We’ll shore up the federal coffers and pay off the debt since more tax money will be rolling back into the system.
So how do we accomplish this? Line up the US Marine Corps at the South Korean border. Line up the US Navy all the way around the Korean Peninsula. Have the US Army hanging out in Seoul until it’s time. Have the US Air Force on our carriers and military bases throughout Asia. On the ready. Do you really want to see a “show of military strength”? Really? We’ll show you…but you aren’t going to like what you see. Then if they don’t decide to play nice…we move the troops north until we hit China.
Then we will come back and help you build your country again. We will help you train your troops. We’ll give you not only humanitarian aid again, but we will teach you to be self sustaining after we get rid of your Communist government. So far it hasn’t worked out so well has it? Famine and poverty are commonplace in North Korea – but yet they still want to do the same thing over and over again expecting different results – which according to Albert Einstein is the definition of insanity.
Oh, and China? Since our troops are now standing on your border, do you want to play nice now too? Stop your currency manipulation?
It’s high time we revived some patriotism in this country and start believing we ARE EXCEPTIONAL! We need to get our "swagger" back and not pander to these countries and their developmental threats.
We are the best. We are the brightest. We are the land of opportunity.
Otherwise, we’d be North Korea.
