North Korea Sort of Endorses Moon Jae-in for ROK President

The Kim regime is cheering for a liberal to win the upcoming Presidency likely in hopes they will get another pay day for little or nothing in return like during the Sunshine Policy years:

With South Korea’s presidential election just one day away, North Korea on Monday called for an end to the history of inter-Korean confrontation.

“The tragic North-South Korea relations today have been wrought by the conservative groups which, having been in power for the past 10 years, revived the foregone period of confrontation and maximized the political and military rivalry between the same race,” the leading ruling party newspaper, Rodong Sinmun, said in a column on its Monday issue.

On Tuesday, South Korea is to pick a new president to replace Park Geun-hye who was removed from her presidency in March over corruption charges.

The last poll before the election showed Moon Jae-in of the Democratic Party leading the race by a wide margin. If elected as president, Moon is likely to tilt toward engagement with North Korea, a departure from the sanctions-focused policy under Park and her previous conservative administration led by Lee Myung-bak.

“Our people’s yearning for peace has been mercilessly trodden by the conservative groups, manic followers of confrontation,” the North Korean newspaper said. “The history of inter-Korean confrontation, led by the conservatives, should be put to an end and a new era of unification should open up in collaboration between our race .. To that end, the conservative groups’ scheme to seize power again should be resolutely shattered.”  [Yonhap]

And if they vote the liberals into office the United States need to get the hell out of South Korea and hand it over to the dictatorship of Kim Jong Un and the communist Red Chinese. A weak minded liberal is the last thing that South Korea needs.

Not necessarily. China, Russia and US will ignore South Korea to resolve the North Korea issue since this stopped being just a Korea issue. North Korea is a threat to many other countries. China seems to have curtailed or stopped coal imports from North Korea, a major currency earner. Russia backs China. Moon will isolate South Korea if he tries to get in the way.

Over or under – 1 year for approval rating for Moon and Macron to be under 45%?

I’m betting on both countries being overrun by their enemies unless something changes fast… There won’t be an approval poll in that case…
