у нас в деревне это называется "clear message"

Мысли текли свободно и даже как-то машинально, за этот месяц они успели проложить себе привычные и постоянные русла, и Кандид наперед знал, какие эмоции возникнут у него в следующую секунду. У нас в деревне это называется "думать".

I've made it clear to President Xi Jinping that I thought they had an obligation to attempt to make it clear to North Korea that they should not engage in long-range nuclear tests. And I made it clear as well that if they did - "they" meaning North Korea - that we would have to take certain actions that would be more defensive on our behalf, and it would not be directed against North Korea - I mean - excuse me - it would not be directed against China, but it would be to send a clear message to North Korea. We are going to defend our allies, as well as American soil and American capacity.

And so - but I do not think that - it's difficult to determine whether or not China has the capacity. I'm confident China is not looking for North Korea to engage in further escalatory means. Because I made it clear - and I made it clear from the very beginning, and last year as well, that we will do what it needs to defend our capacity, to defend ourselves and our allies - South Korea, as well as Japan - and that it would be - we'd be more up in the face of China. But it wouldn't be because of China, it'd be because of what was going on in North Korea.
