Anyway, it was exciting to see the summit meetings between Koreas and US.

True or not, believe it or not, it is a new spring breeze upon us who got tired of long-standing status quo. 

Why is there a somewhat sudden change of mind (?) by the KIM of North Korea?

My feeling is that:

1. KIM has realized that his military has no defense at all against the South's invasion together with the US.

2. His nuclear weapons might have been a complete failure.

He has not been able to reduce the size and weight of the nuclear head for his ICBM or any rockets of his.

3. Or he failed to achieve ICBM's smart capabilities good enough to hit anywhere at all.

Making a nuclear bomb is an easy task. Nowadays, any idiot can do, even a college student!!

But making the smart guided missiles are not.

4. He has no other choice except the gestures for peace rather than continuing confrontation.

By this way of thinking, KIM should not abandon his nuclear program for the sake of combined Korea.

South Korea will solve the remaining problems of their unfinished imperfect nuclear weapons.

Korea shall need the nuclear power to get out of the slave status once and for all.

Let's have the cake and eat it too!!

Now is the critical time to think carefully about our future in the long run.

It's not the time to listen to China, Japan, the US, or any other wolves in sheep's clothing.

They are trying to keep us forever as their puppet and slave. Don't get cheated!

We should keep the original independent and brazen psychology of the North's KIM family.

 I think that withdrawal of US troops from South Korea after the peace treaty is very possible.

 US has 800 military bases in foreign countries. There are 113 in Germany, 83 in Japan.

 It encircles the planet spreading over 80 countries. These bases were deployed during the 

 Cold War. The Cold War is long gone and we do not know why the troops are stationed in 

 certain places. 250,000 soldiers are in foreign land and 156 billion dollars of our tax money is

 being spent annually for the bases.

 In the mean time US government budget deficit will be 804 billion dollars by September 30, 

 this year. It will reach one trillion dollars in 2020.

For South Korea, US troops are undeniably a Foreign troops in a sovereign nation.

When South Korea was a toddler, parental assistance was quite necessary. Now

She has a very strong economy and stable democratic system. She can stand up alone

just like grown-ups.

Free election in Korea is very, very long shot. Because North and South will not have

same system for a long time. Xi must be delighted that Kim is setting up same system

like China. 

For now Kim will get help from China, Japan, US and South Korea by giving up 

nukes. I think he is very smart.

Dark side (?)of opening up North Korea is that it may destroy the Kim dynasty. We saw what

happened to Soviet in Gorvachev’s Perestroica.

The problem is when US troops are removed from South Korea,

the North Korea sympathizing leftist in power will turn "대한민국" into North's puppet government

and North will suck the blood out of  South Korea until it is dry.

문재인을 대통령으로 뽑아주는 국민들이 무슨 안목과 안식이 있어 제대로 된 통일을 이룰수 있겠습니까?

미군 철수를 주장하는 사람들은 미군이 북한만을 상대 하는 것이 아니고 중국의 팽창을 저지 하는 

것이 주된 목표라는 것을 알아야 합니다.

미군이 빠진 한반도는 조선 조 말기와 비슷하게 친중, 친북, 친소파가 각축하는 난장판이 되겠지요.
