Presidents Xi and Moon May Attend Trump-Kim Summit to Announce End to Korean War
It has been speculated that the Trump administration would agree to end the Korean War and it appears that is the direction Trump-Kim II Summit negotiations are going:
President Moon Jae-in and Chinese President Xi Jinping may join the summit to be held between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un this month in Vietnam to declare an end to the Korean War.
Korea Times
As U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun stated last week, President Trump is open to formally ending the war as part of measures to spur denuclearization talks with North Korea. This is an idea Moon, Xi and Kim have all been supporting.
One major obstacle was North Korea’s opposition to the continued presence of U.S. troops in South Korea. However, the North has reportedly changed its stance on this.
U.S. and South Korean officials said ending the Korean War is a major topic in the ongoing pre-summit talks in Pyongyang.
You can read more a the link, but I have said this repeatedly, North Korea does not have to call for a withdrawal of US troops when its surrogates in South Korea will do it for them.
Anti-US leftist groups will claim that a peace treaty calls into question why US troops are needed in Korea. Two of the largest anti-US leftist groups, People’s Solidarity for Participatory Democracy and Minbyun-Lawyers for a Democratic Society are already advancing this idea.
The PSPD and Minbyun are both extreme left wing pro-Pyongyang organization that have long been anti-US. For example PSPD is one of the groups behind the ongoing THAAD protests, blamed the US for Christian missionaries kidnapped by the Taliban, was a member of the Korean Alliance Against the Korea-U.S. FTA that even had one of their own set himself on fire outside one of the FTA meetings in Seoul. PSPD was also one of the lead organizations against the relocation of US forces to Camp Humphreys.
Minbyun on the other hand, have been used to legally attack North Korean defectors, one of the groups behind the US beef riots, and have long attacked the USFK relocation plan.
I would not be surprised that these groups and other large anti-US leftist groups eventually mobilize to protest and blockade US military bases to disrupt operations and make life miserable for US servicemembers in Korea. The THAAD site is already experiencing this.
If the traffic at Camp Humphreys is already bad can you imagine what would happen if people had to deal with protesters as well while trying to get through the gates?
The protests combined with the ROK government playing hardball on USFK cost sharing would be intended to convince President Trump to withdraw some if not all of the US troops. This is why North Korea doesn’t have to call for US troop withdrawals when they have surrogates to do it for them.
Fine, pull US troops out. Let the Koreans figure it out. The US gave Korea 73 years to embrace Jeffersonian Democracy. If they don’t want it after this, so be it.
So who is KJU putting on the blame line to fund his presence?
Why is Moon showing up to these parties he’s not invited to? I would love to see Trump’s handlers at the door saying “Let’s see, Moon, you say? (checking the list) … Nope, I don’t see a Moon on the list, you can’t come in.”
Moon has no say in the end of the Korean War. South Korea never signed the Ceasefire.
Moon with KJU is a total embarrassing shameful event that is one step back for human rights and democracy.
Now what will you people say when US’s Trump meets with KJU in two weeks in Vietnam? I’m sure you people will have no problems with that picture.
Appeasing still thinks Moonpie and his little RoK collection can be compared with Trump.
How wonderfully naive.
Emperor Xi needs to sign off. Commie Stooge Moon is just a sidepiece.
We could very quietly simply stop sending troops to Korea. In12 months all that will be left are support units and the USAF. That will reduce a lot of the traffic issue but put a large uptick in the ROK unemployment rolls. It would make the quick evacuation a lot easier…
Doc, that makes too much sense to ever make it through the Pentagon.
2ID Doc and Setnaffa,
Trump can suck on KJU’s a$$ in Vietnam all he wants, but I worry about you Americans. US has more worries over China overtaking them, articles like this won’t help your attempts to stay #1.
“Terence Corcoran: Americans are trying to kill Huawei. Canada shouldn’t be helping them”
https://business.financialpost.com/opinion/terence-corcoran-americans-are-trying-to-kill-huawei-canada-shouldnt-be-helping-them
US is now famous for backstabbing their allies like Canada, Germany, S.Korea, all the while they demand their allies stay loyal to the US. Let’s see how much longer they’ll likely stay with you guys. A lot of countries are starting to see the US attempts to kill Huawei, as not really a security issue (overblown), but for what it really is – US can’t accept the fact that China is challenging them. Do you think you can bully your ways into buying loyalty? If having US troops in South Korea is that bad of a deal for you guys, then I say I agree with you people. Good riddance, good bye, and don’t let the door slam while on your way out.
Dang… Appeasing has gone kinda sideways on us… apparently he is just nork agitprop….
NORK agitprop? Strange coming from a person that has his tongue up the behind Trump who is about to sit down with North Korea and give them everything they want. Not really. I’m just facing the truth. Trump is no better than Xi of China, and certainly not any better than Moon. Both Xi and Trump are fighting for world domination and could care less about human rights. US is now getting in bed with North Korea, why should any South Korean conservatives still support a US regime that supports and encourages Moon, gives money to North Korea, then demand more and more protection money from SK and Europe, etc? How is the US different from how China behaves, other than the fact that one is a democracy and the other communist? (but both acting like bullies). If you think I’m the only one wondering we need to tolerate US shakedowns, then ask others in Germany, Canada, France, even UK.

FLYINGSWORD, China buys its way into Europe, but the US demands their way into Europe. Your commander in Chief wants you guys to be all home, but expect his allies to support the US in its fight against China’s domination. The US has a funny way to ask for help, by constantly bashing its allies, while relegating North Korea’s nuclear crisis as a bargaining a chip for betterment US financial standing. Disgusting.
FLYNGSWORD, by the way, you’re posting old articles that no longer applies to UK. Let’s see if the US attempt to create a common front through the use of bullying its allies will work in the long run to put a lid on China’s rise. Didn’t Trump say he will look out for US interests only? Why should any country help the US position at the expense of their own interests, just so that they can serve US interests?
Fittycent trolls… it is to laugh…
Setnaffa, I think you were half correct….appeasing is nork agitprop, but as a bonus he’s a chinese agitprop, thinking he was emperor xi’s right hand man, but xi has no clue he exists….I enjoy our troll, clueless and blathering.
To setnaffa and mcgeehee, foam different the mate
To setnaffa and mcgeehee foad and diaff thx mate
Another random fittycenter…
These PEBKAC commandos are so precious! It’s almost like watching a silkworm realize they’re bound for the bondaeggi cart…
I’d love to meet ’em and invite them to a decent coffeeshop to find out if they really hate that much or just follow the same scrip here and at other sites.
If they really have that much hate, I hope they fi d a cure before the cancer eats away their soul.
