The following is from July 1st. Yesterday's news reported that the South Korean president offered to meet with Kim Jong-un....madness!
South Korea recently experienced their own internal chaos and elected Moon Jae-in president with 41% of the vote. Moon is a Progressive and former human rights lawyer and activist. Does this scenario sound even vaguely familiar to you? Of course it does. Look around at Canada and France and England and Germany...there's not a whole lot of discernment from the West in the electing of leaders.
I listened to President Moon answer questions from our illustrious press and at the very least it was disheartening for essentially he thinks that if we can but get Kim Jong-un to promise a few things and if we can verify that he keeps the promises.....we can make progress towards peace. I kid you not friends....he actually believes this. There are some extenuating circumstances here and we have to at least put ourselves in President Moon's shoes to grasp how he can be so naive.
South Korea has lived in the shadow of a murderous and now nuclear North Korea for some time. This isn't new to them. They, the Progressive element, simply wants to keep the danger from getting worse. Sounds reasonable and probably is reasonable in their perspective, but this argument completely falls apart when the United States is added to the equation.
We have not lived under the threat of a nuclear attack from North Korea, for it has not had anywhere near the capability to threaten our country, but that is changing fast, so we are in an entirely different situation than South Korea! What has already happened to South Korea...we cannot let happen to the United States. It's as simple as that.
So although we were on the same page with conservative South Korean leaders who were aware of the always imminent danger and evil just beyond the DMZ, we may not be on the same page today. Are they to jeopardize war with North Korea just to protect us? Kim Jong-un would be 'president' of all Korea today if it were not for the United States but how can we expect the Progressive in South Korea to see that if the Progressive in America despises our past.
