Perhaps this is just the first of many steps towards loosening the authoritariam hold on NK through grease rather than by force but, like yoy I'm rather uncomfortable with the idea of normalising/conveniently ignoring the countless abuses by the DPRK ranging from the famines and political purges to concentration camps literally filled with entire generations of families spanning from grandparents to grandchildren.
Perhaps Moon's endgame plan is to get the flies through honey rather than vinegar? If more influence from the south seeps through that in turn might soften the foundations of the regime and force them to take a somewhat looser turn on things. It might even give some figures up to even the Kims incentive to go down as figures responsible for the "gravious reunification" rather than to hold onto a slowly sinking ship.
Yeah that's not what happened though
As much as I hate our current presidency; as terrible a job I think Donald "Mushroom Head" Trump is doing; I cannot fault the man for how he's handled the N. Korean situation as for late nearly as much as I can for his other blunders. He's made seemingly more progress with the Koreas than past US presidents going back generations. Is he doing things perfectly? Hell no, he's incapable of doing anything perfectly as far as I care. Has he done a good job here? I'm not so sure, but he's not doing a bad job. I wait with cautious optimism to see how this pans out; let's hope he doesn't ruin the rest of the world before we see progress towards reunification or at least long-term peace talks.
Trump hasn't accomplished anything that prior presidents also accomplished. The only difference is he met Kim personally, satisfying one of their biggest geopolitical goals.
This is pathetic tbh.
Kim has met with President Moon more than Trump has, given more gifts to each other, engage in government level talks, sent musicians, but apparently Trump deserves the credit.
Great logic guys
It should be noted that they're only removing mines from a small part of the DMZ.
But still good seeing this will lead road to officially ended this long overdue originally Civil war.
