This guy is all BS. North Korea did not have nuclear weapons in the early 1990's which means nothing was dealt with.
I do not feel they are worth defending except for control of the area since Japan would be next. I certainly do not see any students from South Korea demanding we leave now as i did a few years back. Where are all these kids with these ideas they had? How about we leave now kids and see how well you like the North Koreans. Them little bast*rds are all hiding in their basements hoping we defend them again. We had thousands of our soldiers die for their freedom and they had the audacity to protest us still being there. Well now they can see why we are still there.
Please re-read the article more carefully. He certainly did not assert NK had nuclear weapons in the early 90s. I’m not sure where you got that idea. Maybe from his opening sentence: “The North Korea situation is not going away. Personally, I’m sympathetic to the complexities of the situation. I’ve dealt with it since the early 1990s, beginning at the Center for Strategic & International Studies.”
He provides a factual timeline and talks about the dupes in the communist party in the US and the fecklessness of Carter:
1994: Carter visited NK and met with Kim Il-sung
1995: NK starves 10%-15% of its population to death
2006: NK announces it is a nuclear state
Please explain how he is full of BS. Extra credit if you posit a rationale thesis.
Did he say the Norks had nuclear weapons in the early nineties? No, he said nothing of the sort.
Try reading it again. There's nothing wrong with this report.
