I thought Trump had banished him to Mongolia? I hope he does not do too much damage.

He'll sweep it all under the rug...with his mustache.

Bolton may say to Abe all high tech materials got to be banned to S Korea. Such some materials may be going to N Korea by ship to ship transportation. Bolton may understand this is a national security and a danger for other nations.

A visit from the warmonger to give Abe his orders from Washington.

Bolton. Do not come. We do not want to shake hands with them. Their nature breaks out  again soon. We want  a complete divorce.

Talk about exactly the WRONG person to send to solve any sort of dispute.

Oh crazy! It seems to me that this Japan-South Korea thing has no end. I wish each country could worry about themselves instead of talking bad about other country or causing trouble with other nation.

No person more perfect to stoke the fires of war. He must be miffed Trump loves Kim, though.

S. Korea wants 3rd party country to intervene on disputes Korea cares about, they want US, UN, WTO and their mother to intervene and pressure Japan to give them special previlage base on bad behavior.

On issues which Japan cares about and Japanese companies would be affected, S Korea wants no one else to intervene, no 3rd country, only 1 on 1 diplomacy which have failed for decades. S. Korean hypocracry of the highest.

Is John Bolton the right guy to send to mediate any dispute let alone a trade dispute.

That's a rhetorical question, right?

S. Korea is waiting for Japan to bring the issue to the ICJ, as Kono taro has threatened it. S. Korea will welcome it. But I predict that Japan will never bring the issue to the ICJ. You may have no clue why Japan can not. Let's see whether my prediction is correct or wrong.

Bolton is a hawk. Maybe he will recommend that the issue be solved by Japan and S Korea going to war.
