North Korea Demands End to US-ROK Alliance to Improve Inter-Korean Ties

Here is yet another example of how the North Koreans are continuing to try and separate the ROK and the US:

North Korea strongly condemned the South Korea-U.S. alliance Saturday, accusing their joint defense efforts of being aimed at toppling its communist regime and saying such efforts may also lead to an end of ongoing dialogue between the two Koreas.

“The South Korean government must realize its foul military consultation with the U.S. may be a foolish act that will put out the hard-earned chance of improving the North-South relationship and ruin its own fate,” Rodong Sinmun, a daily newspaper published by the North’s ruling Workers’ Party, said in a signed commentary.

The commentary was largely aimed at criticizing the two-plus-two Extended Deterrence Strategy and Consultation Group talks held last week between Seoul and Washington, in which the allies agreed to continue maintaining U.S. defense assets around the Korean Peninsula.

However, it also came one day after the allies confirmed a resumption of their delayed joint military drills in South Korea immediately following the 2018 Winter Olympic Games to be held in South Korea’s PyeongChang from Feb. 9-25.

“The exact date and size of the planned joint exercises cannot be disclosed, but they will be carried out after the close of the Olympics,” Seoul’s defense ministry said Friday.  [Yonhap]

You can read more at the link, but what this all means that after the Winter Olympics expect more provocations which the Kim regime will use US-ROK military exercises as an excuse to execute.

What would stop an American President from “chastising” North Korea and removing their nuclear-armed missile threats if South Korea had no influence on our military planning?

(Hint: Nothing.)

Kim wants us gone so he can go all 625 on the South; but he might not last 5 minutes after the last boat/plane carrying US Military left the ROK.

I guess the idea of just being a good neighbor is foreign to the guy with the worm-infested army.

That’s all true. There’s only one country around here that we care about and we already nuked them twice. What chance does Fatty have?

Probably a very good chance nK could get unification on its terms if the US wasn’t here, and get it without firing a shot seeing all the south Korean commies that are around, from Moon on down.
