There are a few things we have disagreed on in the past, but with this I’m totally with you.
I only expand this from “koreans” to “all asians”
Indeed. Rummaging through the archives to conjure up a “foundation of efforts by previous administrations” from the many obvious failures is undoubtedly underway.
Wel, that may be, the one way, to get, the U.S. out of South Kotea.
Could be a good thing or could be a trap. You never know with the Norks. Here is to hoping it works out.
We couldn’t of done it without the great John Kerry. Did you know he was in Vietnam?
Erm...can you elaborate? I know many Korean people.
Going cross Pacific in the late ‘80’s and 90s for business, you always had to remind yourself the Western Concept of reaching an agreement, writing it out, signing it, then getting a drink over a hand-shake in an afternoon does not apply. They have their own timeline.
The Inscrutability of the Orient..
TRUMP!!!!!!!
