(Some) Freepers loving on South Korea’s socialist appeasing Left.

It just freaks me out sometimes. Criminy.

“Moon has bad intentions.”

Really. Everyone assumes that their coming together means that Un will adapt to SoKo culture, ideals, etc. It easily could be that the exact opposite might happen.

Some also start to believe that Kim purged other officials with anti-aircraft guns because they are getting in the way of his 'enlightened' policy and others are still holding him back.

Too many people have invested so much of their emotion into the summit success that their perspective begins to become warped.

Summit “success” or (vs) denuclearization/eventual peace.

There’s your choice.

Maybe South Korea and The United States are playing “good cop bad cop” respectively.

I think both U.S. and South Korean leadership are acting in the way they think best for their respective country.

Moon’s family were North Korean refugees, he was an early activist and long has been a leftist activist.

Yep, Moon basically has been a hard-core leftist radical, despite his position in South Korea. One downside to this quick resolution is that it likely will cement his position and influence in South Korea—thus helping his cohorts in an eventual, unified Korea.

Is Gordon Chang related to Donna Chang?

Or David Chang of the "Kosher cheeseburger"?

I'm wary of my Changs lately.

Well, give Gordon credit for having the long view.

Many believe that China is behind the denuclearization of NK as the next step in control over the South China Sea.

-Get U.S. troops out of SK,
-Merge North and South, controlling both,
-Take over Taiwan,
-Threaten Japan, and take over their economy,

This 50 year plan could be done in 20, depending on who’s running America in 10 years.

This is what the south Korean nationalist commies believe: One Korean under commie rule is acceptable to two Koreas. Moon is a nationalist commie. Majority of the Koreans are duped into thinking that this is a good guy. Every single newspaper and news outlets are controlled by people worse than the media here. They only have one newspaper that is conservative. Korea is in deep sh** with this guy. Only Trump can save them.

Gordon Chang knows the region - and he one very smart person. If that’s his call I would tend to agree...

The Japanese birth dearth means that China will have them eventually so why go to war?
