In this video, I report on the recent sanctions the U.S. treasury placed on Russia and China due to allegedly aiding North Korea.
Following the sanctions which have by the way not been reported on properly by the media, China warned that the United States must "immediately correct its mistake" or suffer "retaliation."
Interestingly, China placed sanctions on coal in North Korea earlier this year following demands from the United Nations.
While these new sanctions target Russia, China and other entities allegedly working with North Korea, this also follows multiple sanctions placed on Russia earlier this year which led to Russia expelling 755 diplomats in the end of July.
Of course Obama had also expelled 35 Russian diplomats near the end of December, 2016.
While the media continues to blab on about how Trump colluded with Russia, serious security concerns continue to pile up as tensions reach record levels.
Thanks to Mnuchin's latest actions China is threatening the US and we can't forget about the fact that Russia/US relations are in worse shape than the height of the cold war.
As for North Korea, they can hardly afford to fuel their jets, their soldiers are starving and have been forced to eat grass. The populace is slowly starting to wake up and a revolt against the North Korean regime is certainly in the play book.
North Korea cannot strike US mainland.
China has been neutral on North Korea and has warned that the US best not strike preemptively, especially considering the millions who'd be affected in both North Korea and Seoul. Though China has said they will remain neutral if North Korea strikes first.
China currently has 150,000 troops along the North Korean border in order to take in refugees allegedly, if necessary.
Russia has its navy at the northern border of North Korea as well.
This is incredibly dangerous and Trump has proven himself to be an interventionist, not a non-interventionist as he claimed during the election. Hillary Clinton would be proud. John McCain and Lindsey Graham have already publicly praised the recent foreign policy decisions by "Trump", though to pin it on Trump is probably not the most informed thing to do considering who's pulling his strings, just like Obama, Bush, Clinton and other past presidents before him.
It's time we as individuals call a spade a spade! This treacherous ramp up of tensions will lead nowhere good and the longer we sit back apathetically, the more unstable discord we will see, until it's on our very doorstep.
