people would soon become the North Korean people because Kim is a tyrant and would take advantage of the opportunity in a nanosecond. People might find your views more credible if you'd been here longer than 3 posts. Count me as suspicious.

Any thoughts from Japan on Kim being allowed to run wild in that area of the world???? I'm afraid your agenda is embarrassingly transparent.

We've been in SK for 65 years. The world map has changed a great deal. China has changed a great deal. They've gone from isolationists to a world economic power. SK is also a major economic player in the world. I would agree that if SK wants us to leave, then we should.

I don't see China doing anything to upset the world economy. And I don't see NK doing anything China doesn't want.

Of course, I'm open to the possibility that I'm completely wrong about this.

I don't think so myself. He is drumpf, only smarter, just as greedy, just as much a wild card, just as crazy.

But I think China has him in check. He knows that if China decides to remove him from power, it will not be pleasant.
