Trump's engineered North Korean crisis a major success - Asians to spend billions on US weopenry

...“The prime minister is going to be purchasing massive amounts of military equipment,” T'rump said in Tokyo.

Continuing his tour of Asia, U.S. President Donald T'rump crowed over pending negotiations with South Korea and the purchase of a number of nuclear-powered submarines.

T' rump’s presidential tour of Asia has transformed into a bidding platform for U.S.-made military weapons, including submarines, planes and missiles to name a few.

The North Korea situation is becoming very tough, the Asia-Pacific security situation is very tough, and so we qualitatively and quantitatively have to enhance our capabilities,” he said, saying Japan is planning to purchase F-35 fighter jets as well as warships armed with missiles powerful enough to intercept attacks outside earth’s atmosphere.

“The quality and quantity (of our defence equipment) must be enhanced, and in that process we will buy more from the U.S.,” he said.

“It’s a lot of jobs for us, and a lot of safety for Japan, and other countries that are likewise purchasing military equipment from us, that frankly a year ago or two years ago were not,” T'rump said.

Engineered?

 ...A genius bit of marketing. Create a climate of fear - fear is a powerful motivater. Marketers use it all the time. Threaten WW3 then upsell billions worth of US weapons to the area that's affected,  boosting the US economy and creating umpteen jobs . 

So NK is just a bit of marketing....well that’s a relief.

 Yes, the constant launching of ICM's and the nuclear tests had nothing to do with it.

 ...Probably agood time to invest in the likes of Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrop - Gruman, Ge neral Dynamics and Raytheon,,, especially given the growing militirization of America...

Nah you’re much too late, all those stocks have already had a big run after the election.

...so not everyone heard T'rumps 'peace through strength' speech today at the Korean National Assembly where he tal ked about the US completely rebuilding it's military..

 So how did the soft handed approach work out fr DJT's predecessors?

 ..It's interesting, the Korean War (also known by the Chinese as the War to end American aggression) started in 1950 and never actually ended...so it may have stopped with a cease fire but North and South Korea have remained in a tense state of armed truce ever since with open warfare only a hair trigger away...this may explain why predecessors to DT have opted for something called diplomacy ever since the US bombed NK into oblivion way back in the 1950's...
... the Koreans( and the Chinese) have'nt forgotten about being oppressed by the Japanese either which is why they've been firing missiles over their heads...Koreans hate the Japs - something to do with the resentment over occupation 1910 - 1945, se'x slavery of their women, Japanese atrocities, genocidal massacres, Unit 731 where the Japs did lethal human experimentation, anti Japanese education also a factor...Asians have long memories...
Not condoning any of their behaviour but when you understand some of the historical context things become abit clearer about why NK is so hostile towards the US and Japan....where US citizens think NK is a threat ,the North Koreans feel just as threatened and afraid of the US invading them...
