What Is South Korea's Secret Weapon?
Forbes ^ | May 31, 2018 | Peter Pham

Buying the best quality and most up to date smartphone can be a hard choice.

But why?

Because there are really only two options: Apple’s iPhone or Samsung’s Galaxy.

The renowned Samsung Group (KRX: 005930) is Korea’s largest ‘chaebol’ (conglomerate).

To people outside Korea, Samsung is purely a technology company. However this family-controlled business operates in a wide spectrum of fields, from engineering to chemicals.

The diagram below illustrates the complexity of the Samsung Empire....

I would quietly talk to Moon, and I would say that if North Korea doesn’t completely disable all its nuclear weapons ans programs, then South Korea will get heavily nuked. Japan and Taiwan, too.

I’m sure your post doesn’t mean what it seems to say. You’d attack three allied countries if an enemy doesn’t comply with our demands?

No, I’d arm them heavily with nukes. (I included Taiwan to send a message to the Red Chinese sponsors of the Kim regime.)

From what I have heard, South Korea is on par with Japan when it comes to ambition in academic achievement. They are dead serious about it.
Many times, they overdo the drive to obtain acceptance to certain schools, resulting in suicides of students who have failed to make the grade. Perhaps they grow up seeing North Korea as the country (right next door!) that NO ONE wants to end up like. Modern America doesn’t have a parallel to that mindset.

Arm them to the hilt — all three of them — unless North Korea does what we want it to do. That arming to the hilt includes making sure they get nukes for themselves. And anti-missile defenses.

“will get heavily nuked” — nuked by Korea, is how I read it.

Getting nukes and getting nuked mean too different things...

One of the Samsung sons tried to abuse my business in a deal. We shut him down.

For other reasons with a different company on a different deal, he was charged with illegal behavior and locked up. Same dude.

Lucky we caught him in our case before he took us to the cleaners.
