Donald and Melania Trump in South Korea on Wednesday (Reuters)
President Donald Trump, speaking to South Korea’s National Assembly on
Wednesday, issued a stern warning to North Korea's president
Kim Jong-un that his continued development of nuclear weapons
and ballistic missiles did not protect his regime, but instead
the regime into extreme peril:
<QUOTE>"All the while, the regime has pursued nuclear weapons
with the deluded hope that it could blackmail its way to the
ultimate objective. And that objective we are not going to let it
have. We are not going to let it have. All of Korea is under that
spell, divided in half. South Korea will never allow what's going
on in North Korea to continue to happen. ...
To this day, it continues to launch missiles over the sovereign
territory of Japan and all other neighbors, test nuclear devices,
and develop ICBMs to threaten the United States itself. The regime
has interpreted America’s past restraint as weakness. This would
be a fatal miscalculation. This is a very different administration
than the United States has had in the past. ...
Today, I hope I speak not only for our countries, but for all
civilized nations, when I say to the North: Do not underestimate
us, and do not try us. We will defend our common security, our
shared prosperity, and our sacred liberty. ...
America’s men and women in uniform have given their lives in the
fight against Nazism, imperialism, Communism and terrorism.
America does not seek conflict or confrontation, but we will never
run from it. History is filled with discarded regimes that have
foolishly tested America’s resolve.
Anyone who doubts the strength or determination of the United
States should look to our past, and you will doubt it no
longer. We will not permit America or our allies to be blackmailed
or attacked. We will not allow American cities to be threatened
with destruction. We will not be intimidated. And we will not let
the worst atrocities in history be repeated here, on this ground,
we fought and died so hard to secure."<END QUOTE>
In addition, did everything possible to make his warning as
personally insulting as possible to Kim himself:
<QUOTE>"North Korea is a country ruled as a cult. At the
center of this military cult is a deranged belief in the leader’s
destiny to rule as parent-protector over a conquered Korean
Peninsula and an enslaved Korean people. ...
I also have come here to this peninsula to deliver a message
directly to the leader of the North Korean dictatorship: The
weapons you are acquiring are not making you safer. They are
putting your regime in grave danger. Every step you take down this
dark path increases the peril you face."<END QUOTE>
Mainstream media reaction to the speech as usual was incoherent, with
comments festooned with the usual snarky remarks about Trump himself.
Nobody writing about the speech seemed to understand what Trump's
strategic purpose was, and many articles concluded that it was a
wasted speech because it won't stop North Korea from continuing its
development of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles -- which it
certainly won't. White House and Washington Post and CNN and The Atlantic
****
**** Trump's speech targeted at China
****
There's a paragraph quoted above that's worth repeating:
<QUOTE>"America’s men and women in uniform have given their
lives in the fight against Nazism, imperialism, Communism and
terrorism.
America does not seek conflict or confrontation, but we will never
run from it. History is filled with discarded regimes that have
foolishly tested America’s resolve."<END QUOTE>
Everybody knows that it North Korea attacks the U.S., then the regime
will be destroyed. So Trump was making this statement not for North
Korea's benefit, but for China's benefit. Trump is reminding China
that Japan made a disastrous mistake attacking the United States in
1941, and that the US defeated Japan and also saved China.
The reason that most reporters are completely confused about Trump's
strategy is because they don't understand Generational Dynamics. As
regular readers know, I've worked with Trump's former chief strategist
Steve Bannon off and on for almost ten years, and Bannon is an expert
on world and military history, and he's also an expert on Generational
Dynamics. Some news reports say that Bannon still talks regularly
with Trump, so it's not surprising that Trump's foreign policy this
year has almost completely consistent with the Generational Dynamics
analysis. If you want to understand Trump's strategy, then you have
to understand Generational Dynamics.
Trump and Bannon are well aware of the following:
China has previously said that if the US preemptively attacks
North Korea, then China will defend it, but won't defend it if
North Korea attacks first.
Testing nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles and flying them over Japan,
is already an act of war, and exploding one over the Pacific, as has
been threatened, could threaten any aircraft or sea vessels in the
area, and the radiation could be carried by the winds to any country
bordering the Pacific. Any of these tests could be interpreted as a
nuclear attack by North Korea requiring a military response, and if
China keeps its promise, won't retaliate. However, this situation
would certainly threaten the security of China.
Chinese media have been discussing China's "Plan 2025" to overtake the
United States and have worldwide hegemony by 2025. In a recent
interview, Steve Bannon described China as "an enemy of incalculable
power, not a strategic partner and we have to understand that." He
summarized Plan 2025 as having several objectives:
Trump's speech was a warning to China that its plan for world hegemony
is going to be a lot more difficult than they expect. Trump may even
hope to persuade China to choose a different path, but that can't
happen. Generational Dynamics predicts that the world is headed for a
Clash of Civilizations World War III, pitting the US, India, Russia,
Iran and the West versus China, Pakistan and the Sunni Muslim
countries. Breitbart and South China Morning Post

Trump and Bannon are well aware of the following:
- Nothing in Trump's speech will stop North Korea's nuclear
missile development from continuing.
- China LOVES the North Korean nuclear missile development because
the missiles are pointed at the US, and not at China.
- China won't do anything to stop the nuclear missile development
unless they believe that it threatens their own security.
China has previously said that if the US preemptively attacks
North Korea, then China will defend it, but won't defend it if
North Korea attacks first.

interview, Steve Bannon described China as "an enemy of incalculable
power, not a strategic partner and we have to understand that." He
summarized Plan 2025 as having several objectives:
- Dominate ten separate industries, including robotics,
artificial intelligence, and chip manufacturing.
- Using its One Belt, One Road initiative to co exert
economic control over all of Asia, stretching into Europe.
- "They’re really working out to become the world’s reserve currency
and also have financial technology that the United States cannot
de-couple them from the world’s capital markets, which is our one
point of leverage."
- Become the leading mobile technology provider by dominating the
technology and markets for "5G" wireless internet connections. This
will be a major speed boost to wireless technology allowing, for
example, an entire HD movie to be downloaded in a few
seconds.
Trump's speech was a warning to China that its plan for world hegemony
is going to be a lot more difficult than they expect. Trump may even
hope to persuade China to choose a different path, but that can't
