Kate Turlington + 44 KT January 17, 2018 Well, be that as it may ... kudos to South Korea for this diplomatic coup (in the making) ... not a popular decision and a political sacrifice for South Korean leadership in my opinion. But it's still on shaky ground. Kim didn't like South Korea saying that the deal was in part thanks to Trump ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

damirUSBiH + 327 DD January 18, 2018 Let's say this: It's not a small step, a tough past is behind them. Could the two peninsulas unite around socialist ideas? It's the natural compromise between communism and capitalism. Nationalize Samsung, too hard!? Too much question, but still I believe how will come that day..

damirUSBiH + 327 DD January 18, 2018 Out of what we’ve seen and heard over recent months and years, this is a very positive step forward. Let’s hope humanity can come through. Also the Olympics is a great setting, competing in sports in good faith instead of competing in words of war Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pavel + 384 PP January 22, 2018 Protests in Seoul against North Korea's leader, KJU, started. Conservative activists in SK use a blowtorch to burn photo of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, protest recent inter-Korean rapprochement deals. In same time, delegation of NK with their most popular girl band visited Seoul. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
