Just think about this for a moment. These folks live right next door to North Korea. They would bear the biggest brunt of a war. And they say “no” to President Trump. This is kind of like a disagreement with your next door neighbor, and then the Governor sends in the National Guard.
President Moon Jae-in of South Korea has spoken before the General Assembly of the United Nations in an impassioned call for peace.
He began by stating that his country has only recently come to embrace democracy, but that it has done so peacefully.
The South Korean President made multiple references to the so-called “Candlelight Revolution” which transpired between 2016 and early 2017. The peaceful demonstrations against the corrupt and militant leadership of Park Geun-hye, helped bring about the impeachment of the former President which paved the way for Moon’s election victory in May of this year.
When Moon previously ran for President in 2012, the South Korean intelligence services illegally meddled the election effectively rigging it in favour of Park. Several investigations into this are ongoing.
