By declaring the NLL a maritime peace zone the Moon administration has given in to North Korean demands that dispute the ROK’s sovereignty of the NLL, of course the Kim regime is going to agree with this:

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said Friday that the leaders of the two Koreas have recognized the Northern Limit Line (NLL), a de facto sea border, as the term was included in this year’s key inter-Korean agreements.
The remarks came amid a dispute over whether the communist state now acknowledges the maritime boundary that it has long disputed on the grounds that it was drawn unilaterally by the U.S.-led U.N. Command after the 1950-53 Korean War.
In the April inter-Korean summit declaration, the two Koreas jointly used the NLL term, while pledging to transform areas surrounding the tense boundary in the West Sea into a “maritime peace zone.” That term also appears in last month’s military agreement aimed at reducing tensions and preventing accidental clashes.
Seoul has used the two agreements to argue that the North has recognized the NLL.
“The two leaders agreed to turn the areas around the NLL into a maritime peace zone and also reaffirmed that in the September military agreement,” the JCS said in a text message sent to reporters.
“This means that the two leaders have recognized the NLL,” it added. [Yonhap]
So what is a maritime peace zone that the Kim regime is so happy to recognize? President Moon’s plan has been to surrender sovereignty of the NLL to the North Koreans by allowing joint fishing along the maritime border. This plan actually dates back an entire decade to the Roh Moo-hyun administration when Moon Jae-in was President Roh’s Chief of Staff. This map shows why the North Koreans are happy with the is arrangement:
The current NLL is depicted with the Blue line and North Korea’s claimed NLL is depicted with the Red line.
Compare the two maps and the proposed joint fishing zones nearly mirror North Korea’s NLL claims. The giving up of sovereignty of this maritime territory will make it harder to defend the South Korean islands along the NLL. Such an agreement would also set a precedent that the Kim regime’s claim against the legitimacy of the NLL is valid. The last time a South Korean leftist government tried to give away the NLL the ROK Defense Ministry was furious. That is likely why the Moon administration cleaned house at the Ministry of Defense before moving forward with this plan.
I wondered how long Moon would take. He’s a real special kind of fellow…

Most Koreans don’t even know about this and how this affects their security. The only media that sensibly report on this are the Conservative outlets. But they have lost their credibility with the majority of Koreans. The vast majority of mainstream media like the very trusted JTBC and MBC have all gone over to Moon long time ago.

commie moon fulfilling on his promises to his nK overlord, selling out South Korea and spitting in the face of over 60+ years of commitment of South Korean allies. I really need to get out of this country before things get really bad.

Just in, the news that South Korean military was planning a military coup during the Park Geun Hye impeachment vote, turns out to be fake news created by the Moon government.
Since all the sane voices in the Korean mainstream media have been silenced, the most trusted voices have moved onto Youtube where they make their last stand. Moon government got red handed that they were manufacturing this fake news.
It’s not a total surprise that none of the mainstream media is willing cover this which has overwhelming proof that Moon manufactured the fake news.

What this news report says is that the document in question, which the Moon government used to make it look like the Korean military was trying to launch a military coup turns out that the document was uploaded to the South Korean military computer network for any officials to see. The reasoning is that if they were really launching a coup, it would not make any sense for anyone to upload the document for everyone to see. The Moon government also knew this, so that’s why they deliberately left out the fact that the document was uploaded to the intranet, and accused some of the leaders in the South Korean military for plotting against the state. That reasoning was used to clean house the entire South Korean military as Moon put his own people into the key positions who were loyal to the regime.
See this is the type of government that supposedly tried fairly, all the Conservative opponents currently in jail. They make up their own evidence, control the media, and they put their own loyal radical leftist people into the key positions responsible for the welfare of the nation.
