No doubt the UN will have no problem with this.....

China spotted illegally selling oil to North Korea

U.S. spy satellites reportedly captured photos of Chinese ships illegally selling oil to North Korean boats some 30 times since October.

Satellite images released by the U.S. Department of Treasury appeared to show vessels from both countries illegally trading oil in the West Sea, The Chosun Ilbo reported Tuesday, citing South Korean government sources.

North Korea was barred in September by the United Nations Security Council from importing natural gas and had its crude oil imports capped in response to Kim Jong Un’s nuclear missile program.

Look, everybody...

All this hubbub about "sanctions on N Korea" is mostly just empty talk.

It always has been.

Understand this most basic fact:

China and Russia will provide lil' Kim with whatever he needs to keep S Korea, Japan and the USA on edge.

And there's not a damn thing we can do about it.

"Believe me!"

Why did our past great leaders think that shipping our jobs and factories and raising the wealth for China was a good idea ?
Did anyone ever believe that besides the politicians and the profiteers ?
Where and who developed this line of BS ? I don't remember ever considering it a good idea.

That is history. We have to scrub history and start fresh in the present.

Keep that in mind going forward. Going forward is allowed apparently.

The Dems are big on that.

Nearly every thread talks about what is going to happen after Trump did something.

The US is in NO position to call China out for something like this. Considering how much US debt China owns, they could easily tell us to sit down and shut up.

Yes, our Chinese overlords 'own' us. That's a myth that keeps being perpetuated. Surprisingly, Americans and American institutions own most of the US government's debt.

China owns only about 5.5% of total outstanding US debt. Even the US government itself owns more of its own debt than China.
