President-Elect Yoon Looks to Revive US-ROK Alliance and Diplomacy with Japan

It looks like US-ROK exercises will go back to Key Resolve and UFG level and diplomacy with Japan will be enhanced if I am reading the tea leaves correctly from President-elect Yoon’s recent statements:

South Korean President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol vowed Thursday to strengthen strategic alliance with the United States, build a strong national defense to deter North Korean provocations and pursue a future-oriented relationship with Japan, hours after winning the nation’s closely contested presidential election. (…..)

He promised to reconstruct South Korea-U.S. alliance and strengthen comprehensive strategic relationship with Washington by sharing the core values of human rights, market economy and human rights.

Earlier, Yoon talked with U.S. President Joe Biden on the phone prior to his visit to the Seoul National Cemetery and they affirmed strong bilateral alliance and close cooperation, according to PPP officials.” (…….)

In relations between South Korea and Japan, it is important to find out what will be beneficial to both countries and to the people of both countries in the future rather than in the past,” the president-elect said.

Yonhap

You can read more at the link, but Yoon has promised to respond “sternly” to any illegal North Korean actions or provocations with the international community. It is almost certainty based on that statement that North Korea is going to launch some provocation to test Yoon once he is President.

When a people prepare for war, their neighbors are more respectful. When a people prematurely grind their swords into farming tools, they are swallowed up.

This from a person who suggested that Korea should not develop its own weapons and depend entirely on the US for its defense!

Make up your mind, Setnaffova!

Silly Korea Person, you can’t get any better protection than when buying it from America.

Plus you get trannies in the package deal.

KP seems not to have read the link, does not know who actually destroyed the turtle ships.

Shouldn’t a real Korean know Korean history?

Koreans have a long history of throwing away advantages because of political jealousy.

And I neve said Korea should not develop weapons. I said Korea needs weapons *now*, not some “pie in the sky by and by” secret weapon that isn’t ready *now*.

Single syllable words too tough?

Ah yes the history card.

Well then let’s talk about American history, which I think Setnaffova, if his claims of being an American are true should know.

Especially the part where his Texan ancestors and others from the South decided to band together and destroy their nation for the ridiculous reason of wanting to still own slaves from Africa.

On top of that now they have a Putin fetish and look forward to the day Putin rules over America!

Hardly the person who should be giving history lessons to Koreans, and trying to admonish Koreans for “not doing their best to defend their country.”
