That is the difference between the WEF and UN Agenda’s. The WEF doesn’t care if you are a Republic, Democracy, Socialist or Communist. The Agenda works, regardless.

Does that happen before, after, or during the Taiwan takeover?

Great he won. My old karate instructor served in ‘nam alongside ROCs. He said they were vicious and very effective fighters. It won’t go well for Kim Jong Un should he invade.

I once got into a throw the tables and chairs fight with bunch if south african hoodlums. A South Korean guy came to my aid. Together we put those thugs away. Copped a few chairs to the head, but we finished the job. The SK guy was hard as nails but humble and a good hearted guy.

Yes,the ROK soldiers are better trained...better equipped...and better motivated. But for every one of them there are ten from the north.And don't rule out the Red Chinese getting involved.
