Blue House Considering Cancelling GSOMIA Pact with Japan Before April’s Parliamentary Elections
|It figures that the Moon administration would bring up the GSOMIA issue again before April’s parliamentary elections in order to promote anti-Japanese sentiment:
Controversy is resurfacing over the possible termination of a military intelligence sharing agreement with Japan, ahead of the March 1 Independence Day and the April 15 general election.
Speculation is mounting that the government could ultimately terminate the General Security of Information Sharing Agreement (GSOMIA), given the absence of any significant outcome from bilateral negotiations to remove Japan’s trade restrictions imposed on certain Korean companies last summer. In response to the restrictions, the government announced the termination of the agreement, but held off on this in November to show its commitment to bilateral negotiations to settle the trade dispute. (……)During a recent press conference, Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha said that Korea could still consider terminating the GSOMIA depending on what is deemed best for the “national interest.” “There have been talks between the export authorities, but we have still not returned to the situation before July 1 [when Japan imposed the exports ban],” Kang said.

You can read more at the link, but it is pretty clear how important April’s vote is for the Blue House. They have changed election laws that will increase the number of unelected left wing parliament seats, covered up the investigations into Blue House corruption, fired the head of Statistics Korea to get better economic stats, has not reached a cost sharing deal with the U.S., and now threatening to cancel the GSOMIA pact again.
Obvuously, “Get Rich Quick(TM)” schemes have fallen on hard times.
I remember when they at least tried to pretend some self-respect. Note that the recent crop all use the same URL for whatever nefarious purpose they want your clicks…
Note they don’t even pretend to understand spelling, punctuation, grammar, or rules on upper and lower case letters.
If I were a betting man, I’d probably bet on one of our former trolls’ little brother who traded the family cow for some magic beans that refused to grow a beanstalk and provide a goose that lays golden eggs. Or the Chinese equivalent.
