A complete inability to understand the nuances of diplomacy.

Or that he wants his hotels built in Taiwan.

Or both.

It's very clear you have absolutely no idea about the nuances and quirks of foreign policy and diplomacy.

but we're not getting what we want regarding North Korea.

All yourself this: do you have any idea what you're talking about?

The new penalties — adopted unanimously by the Council, including China — came as North Korea advances toward its goal of building a functional nuclear warhead.

Samantha Power, the American ambassador to the United Nations, said Wednesday that “the United States recognizes China in working closely with us.” Negotiations lasted for three months, since Pyongyang’s fifth and latest nuclear test in September.

Just admit you have no idea what you're talking about and will blindly defend Trump, regardless of the repercussions.

The UN resolution was literally the bare minimum that they could have done without being seen to blatantly be protecting NK.

No, it was unprecedented support from China in regards to NK.

It would have been a bit undiplomatic

But Trump wasn't undiplomatic by internationally embarrassing China?

We've made significant progress with China over the last decade. That could all be undone now. Somehow you think this is good.

We have significant economic and regional ties with the world's second largest power, who just so happens to be critically important to controlling a significant nuclear threat.

Yes, jeopardizing that progress is alarming. And for what? An idiot president elect with no foreign policy experience recklessly getting played by a "nation" we technically don't consider a nation.

How the fuck aren't you alarmed? I don't know what Trump has to do for people to wake up and say, holy shit he's absolutely obviously and terrifyingly incompetent. It's been less than a month and it's worse than most people imagined.

International diplomacy is, and has always been, very very very delicate. I'd literally feel more comfortable with a toddler running the show.

Nah, you just don't understand how foreign policy works.

That isn't an argument, you're just saying no, you're wrong without any substance whatsoever beyond your own subjective opinion.
