I wouldn't want to be a South Korean today...

...because this is as blatant a stab-in-the-back as history offers. It's actually comparable to Munich, to use a flagrantly over-used analogy. Whatever the faults of South Korea--and they are numerous--it's also had extraordinary accomplishments, has in essence joined the First World, and has a very vibrant culture. And it's just been sold out to its mortal enemy by the worst human being on earth, a traitor doing the bidding of the enemies of both South Korea and America. God help us all, because nothing else is going to do so--certainly not America's constitutional checks-and-balances.

their kind of a MORE important response than Americans....but damned if I can find much news, domestically...will need to do an international search...American media is domestic self-striking propaganda when it comes to foreign affairs.

are now seriously contemplating building nukes of their own.

Their only safe option now is MAD--Mutually Assured Destruction.

Not only against North Korea, but Russia and China as well.

All these nations ate only minutes, even seconds away via MRBs.

We're entering a very dangerous time.

They know full well that Trump, Kim and the Chinese aren't going to change their spots. No reason to yell and scream about a mirage. It's not like America is going to suddenly start importing Samsung and Hyundai products from North Korea.
