North South Korean War- Peace Finally?
I'll start it off with a brief recap for those who might have missed it, as despite the absolutely monster of a news story this is, it hasn't been aired as much as it should be. North and South Korean presidents met today and worked out a peace agreement to formally end the Korean War. The Korean War has been technically ongoing since the 60s and though the most of that has been with an armistice between the two so no active fighting, but merely large tensions.
https://www.soompi.com/2018/04/27/no...tement-inside/ Is a link to a news article that goes into detail about the peace deal. Now there is time for either side to back out, and tensions go right back where they were. I do not trust the leader of NK to keep his word however I am cautiously hopeful that this is good news for absolutely everyone invovled. I've personally been thinking something was up given China's lack of public huge commitment to NK since Trump took office, that it has exhibited in the past. As without China NK would have fallen decades ago, but we no longer live in the world of the Cold War. I hope this is the beginning of a process that will end with the fall of Kim family, and reunification of Korea under a democratic government without bloodshed. Thats high hopes indeed and even unrealistic but if the treaty is followed, I have hope that maybe it can be done in my life time.
