South Korea’s Likely Next President is Expected to Implement Policies to Appease Kim Jong-un
Appeasement of North Korea is what one analyst expects and the Korean left’s track record on this issue shows this will likely come true:
Sung-Yoon Lee, a fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C., said Yoon’s removal “virtually enthrones” Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung as the likely next president. Lee, who has not formally announced a run for the presidency, faced Yoon in the 2022 election.
In December, he famously scaled a wall at the National Assembly to block Yoon’s martial law decree. Yoon defended his decision, accusing the Democrats of obstructing legislation and conducting politically motivated investigations of government appointees. “If Lee Jae-myung or another [Democratic Party] politician takes power, we can anticipate big changes — mostly for the worse for South Korea’s national security and its alliance with the U.S., based on the ignoble record on North Korea policy …,” Sung-Yoon Lee told Stars and Stripes by email Friday. (…..)
“Politicians are prone to switching colors on various issues,” Sung-Yoon Lee said. “But Lee Jae-myung and his fellow lawmakers are united and unswerving when it comes to appeasing Kim …”

Appeasement? Donald Trump’s behavior towards Kim is not appeasement?
The MAGAS are really funny.
@Korean Man, Trump did not appease KJU by giving the DPRK billions of dollars which left wing governments have done over the years. The Korean left is solely responsible for funding the nuclear and missile programs the DPRK now wields to threaten not only the ROK, but the whole region at this point.
Trump tried diplomacy and it failed because the DPRK did not want to completely give up their nuclear weapons. If I was KJU I would not give them up either, that is why a different diplomatic goal with DPRK needs to be tried. Just handing them billions of dollars for little to nothing in return which the Korean left tends to do is not it.
I threw in a question to AI: “Did Donald Trump try to appease North Korea?”
Reply:
Yes, Donald Trump made unprecedented efforts to engage and appease North Korea during his presidency — though whether you call it appeasement or diplomacy depends on your perspective.
Here’s what happened:
Key ways Trump tried to appease North Korea:
But… it didn’t work.
Just giving more South Korean tax money to the north, didn’t work before, won’t work now.
KM your interpretation is completely wrong.
Appeasement is giving up something that hurts you hoping that you won’t get hurt more.
Diplomacy is giving up something that doesn’t hurt you in hopes you can encourage reciprocal action.
One of Trump’s many strengths is that he will walk away from a bad deal instead of taking a bad deal just for a fake political win.
His dealing with NK didn’t work out the way he wanted. Nothing was gained, but nothing was lost.
Those who scream fAiLuRe the loudest live lives of failure, so are quick to point.
So if Korea did exactly the same as what Trump did, you’ll be calling it “appeasement”. You maggots are like pretzels, bending backwards, forwards, and sideways, to excuse/explain away everything that Trump does, as a brilliant strategy. But if somebody else does the same, it’s a commie move. There’s no other explanation for this phenomenon other than one explanation. You guys belong to one massive brainwashed cult movement. I don’t know if there’s a way to deprogram you people.
Once again, Korea Thing shows his lack of reading comprehension.
‘So if Korea did exactly the same as what Trump did, you’ll be calling it “appeasement”’
But Korea doesn’t do the exact same thing.
Korea provides money and resources.
Then South Korea makes a terrible deal just to brag they made a deal.
…and South Korea gets screwed every time.
The easy explanation for this behavior is that (south) Koreans are stupid and never learn.
Except South Koreans have a history of not being stupid and of learning very well.
So the next explanation is that it is intentional with a full expectation of the results.
Which brings up the question…
Why do South Korean leftists keep sending so much money and resources to North Korea when it is clear they will eventually be used against South Korea?
Along with strengthening the North Korean military and further developing missiles and nuclear weapons, some resources will be used to finance leftist anti-Korean politicians, promote forms of public disorder, and create bad publicity for South Korean nationalist.
Hmmm.
Maybe if I just sat in silence, I could answer most of my life questions all by myself.
@setnaffa , @GIKorea and the Setnaffarians do not want South Korea to improve relations with North Korea.
They want USFK to stay in Korea forever and they know any improvement in relationship has the potential to create a situation where the USFK leaves Korea.
Anyone who has brains will realize better relations with North Korea means a more quieter peninsula.
At least under Moon, we had a quieter peninsula until Trump after appeasing Kim Jongun decided that he might be liable for the appeasement did an about face and left with Kim holding the bag.
That’s why Kim is angry and turning to Russia.
It didn’t help that the buffoon Yoon had no clue about effective foreign policy and made Kim more angry.
Poor, poor, Korea Thing. Now he is blaming Kim Fatty III for being a Russian bot. From Yoon trying to work with Biden, of all things.
They still have doctors where he lives, don’t they?
Now he is blaming Kim Fatty III for being a Russian bot. From Yoon trying to work with Biden, of all things.
So @setnaffa
Who’s projecting and deflecting now?
“Who’s projecting and deflecting now?”
Who’s making racist accusations now?
Trump tried a new diplomatic approach and it didn’t work in regards to getting Kim to denuclearize. Trying to get Kim to denuclearize was a poor goal from the start because there is no way he would denuclearize. Any future negotations with Kim need to begin with that fact. Trump’s failed diplomacy did in fact lead to quiet peninsula during the remainder of his term in office.
Additionally his failed diplomacy is far different from Korean left wing appeasement that funneled billions of dollars to North Korea that allowed them to build the nuclear weapons they curently threaten the south and the region with.
As opposed to Trump appeasement of 2018 where he almost signed the proposal for North Korea to keep their nukes, and Trump to eliminate all economic sanctions against North Korea? Trump appeasement where he calls North Korean leader a great and wise leader whom Trump gets along very well? That’s not appeasement? What is the definition of appeasement?
“As opposed to Trump appeasement of 2018 where he almost signed the proposal for North Korea to keep their nukes, and Trump to eliminate all economic sanctions against North Korea?”
That’s not appeasement. That’s almost appeasement.
But I see how your mind works.
Imagine something, get outraged, make decisions as if your imagination was reality, get more outraged because the world does not reflect your expectations.
Maybe keying a Tesla will make you feel better.
