The American people have no interests in Korea, but the ruling class does.
Spoken like a hippy who has no idea just how strategically vital that real estate is; or how "vital" the common American considers the trade goods coming out of Korea are. Get back in your lane.
It is not vital to average Americans, but it is to the ruling class.
Why are you supporting the ruling class, when you have nothing in common with them?
You might want to check the "made in..." labels on your electronics, before you decide what Americans consider "vital".
I can tell you, what I said, that's not strong enough. Some people said it's too strong, it's not strong enough. But Kim Jong Un, I respect the fact that I believe he is starting to respect us. I respect that fact very much. Respect that fact.
Just days later, North Korea
fired short-range missiles off its coast. Then Monday night, it issued its most brazen provocation in years
by firing a ballistic missile over Northern Japan. Kim doesn’t seem to be backing down and he doesn’t seem to respect us very much either.
Trump vowed just before taking office that a North Korean missile capable of reaching the United States “
won’t happen” while he’s president. If North Korea hasn’t accomplished this already—as
some experts believe it has—it will very soon.
Tuesday morning, Trump repeated the Washington cliché that “
all options are on the table” as the U.S. mulls its response—a warning that’s been issued time and again for
more than a decade. Kim, “
smart cookie” that he is, has probably acquired enough evidence at this point to realize that the U.S. is unlikely to take military action to stop him as long as he has literal guns to the heads of
25 million people in Seoul. Which means that for all his tough talk, Trump isn’t any closer to solving the North Korea problem than his predecessors were.
