Small steps I believe will not hurt at all, but if it is one big Step I think it could hurt a lot of things depending on who is in control. If North Korea is in control then I thin it will hurt South Korea, but that is only my opinion. If South Korea is in control I think it will benefit the north. But I guess this is where I am confused with the unification how would it work. Both countries combined but who will be in charge, whose laws will the follow, so many questions, that I don't think anyone has the answers for at this moment. But if they take small steps they can work each one out as the go along.

I'm afraid that I am far more circumspect with regards to the North Koreans.
The American press may fawn all over Kim Yo Jong, seemly just because she shot a few dirty looks at VP Pence, but they seem to forget that that friendly smile is just a facade for one of the most brutal and repressive regimes on the planet, responsible for the murder of thousands and the continued suffering of millions. As the party's chief propaganda minster, she is directly responsible for much of that repression. It's essentially like they are singing the praises of Joseph Goebbels (Hitler's propaganda minster). I personally found it despicable.

I have seen some of the performances. You would think I would be used to them being so many hours ahead of the US. But it keeps throwing me off that the closing ceremony still has to show on TV here when it is already over  The pictures you have been posting are amazing! Thank You! |

Yeah, the time difference is confusing. I kept having to explain to my elderly mother that everything she was watching live in prime time was happening starting at 10AM the next morning in Korea (14 hour time difference EST to KST). I can't really take too much credit for the great pics - most of them are linked straight from the official Korean PyeongChang2018 Facebook news feed.  |
