"South Korea's Yoon seeks dialogue, path to unification with isolated North."

Great idea!! And yes brothers, cousins at times will have disagreements. But it should never result into full blown wars. Striving for peace should be the way forward.

And then he will attempt to jump unaided into the stratosphere, lol.

There will be a unification with the North after it collapses and all the Kims are dead.

Until then, stop wasting your time.

It already has. And actually still is, just a truce in place.

And what's wrong with all the Kims you wish them dead? Have you visited North Korea lately or your opinion is based on regurgitating sound bites from main stream media

They may share the same language and part of their name. But make no mistake; the two are two entirely different countries.

Seoul needs to make the first step: expel the Yankee interloper invaders.

It would be welcome if separated Korean families could finally be reunited.

All Koreans, in the north and south, are victims of the messy proxy war between the U.S. and Russia, a war that had its roots in Japan’s occupation of Korea between 1910 and 1945. The Korean War was a military and diplomatic disaster from its very beginning.

Pretty scary having a thriving, successful, human rights-respecting democracy so close to your borders, huh?

Not everyone operates at your beck and call and that is a good thing.

The best way to do that is to remove the US interventionists from the region, who only live off war and regional chaos, are envious and afraid of China and do not know what to do..

Truth hurts, like it or not..

The truth is you will never remove US troops from free countries.

-2 ( +1 / -3 )

No free countries have US occupation troops. They are vassal states willing used and exploited. As such, they cannot be taken seriously as independent countries and their foreign policy is null and void. South Korea (and Japan) are good examples of this.

How can a country be free when you have foreign troops in the country?

They are there at the request of the host government.

Promoters of people being bots for Xi and Putin have no right to question people's independence.

TaiwanIsPartChina,

Also interesting how you are unconcerned with Taiwan's freedom despite them not having US troops.

0 ( +2 / -2 )

Oh, Taiwan has US personnel there alright in civvies. We all know that.

Someone else's real estate from the Mainland.

No one's real estate from the mainland. No right to comment on anything in Taiwan.

Other places should be taking the positive example of SK in note. Reunification would be good for the Korean peninsula and province of Taiwan with the Mainland.

Just a nonsense proposal. The only acceptable outcome is the NORKs agreeing to become part of the South.

You seem scared.

Is it troubling that nations like South Korea, Japan, Germany, etc are infinitely better off by any and all metrics than mafia states like Russia in every conceivable way?

Of course, they do trail in the all-important "Invade a smaller neighbor and get utterly embarrassed" score, so you have that to console you, I suppose.

why?

Living in harmony and practicing equality in thought, word, and deed is a time-tested value. Nowadays humankind is searching for it, here, there, and everywhere.
