North By North Numbnuts, accomplishment.

[Rev. Rye]

I fucking told you that nothing would change about the North Korea situation if we didn't get China to join the Singapore talks, since China is pretty much the only other nation North Korea listens to.

The orange turd has no clue.

China only puts up with North Korea, not because they like the Kim family, they don't. They don't want two things. 

1. They don't want a refugee problem if the rulers fall. 

2. They don't want a western society right next to their borders if North Korea falls.

China needs North Korea as a buffer.

Yeah, pretty much, that and they're afraid that if North Korea falls, then there could be a domino effect where China itself becomes "capitalist" (at least more than they are now). And thanks to this, they've gotten the Kims out of too many scrapes for us to reasonably expect to reach an understanding with the Kims without them. Christ, last year, they smooth-talked Kim Jong-Un and Trump out of blowing up the world. LAST YEAR. Ten months before the talks happened.
