KIM AND MOON FALL INTO EACH OTHER’S ARMS…….NOW WHAT?

               Historic! Unprecedented! Meaningful….and so on …..and so on…….now what? I’m beginning to really wonder about this Chess Game between China and the US. “ You will go there and you will hug him and kiss him and you will plant a tree!!!! You will promise him the Moon / 😊/ and you will take tons of pictures. You will talk of families and hope. You  will get the youth of South Korea envisioning a unified Korea and then when the time comes, you will tell Trump, ‘ we are going to work towards a denuclearized Peninsula, we meaning North and South Korea………..not you’”!

The Dragon’s Objective:

               What is the strategic goal of China? The reduction, drastic reduction, of US military capabilities in the region. What would happen to the support for US forces on South Korean land if the two Koreas finally seemed to be grasping hands and suddenly The Donald slaps them down and states, “There is no deal unless you destroy your weapons”? Can the Chinese drive a wedge between the South Korean youth and the US? Can a unified Korean Peninsula dream lead to the demand for the US military to leave? Is China willing to see a unified Korea under Western / US / influence? Does the world realize the historic importance of that slice of the world to China? Do the Chinese allow the proven path of invasion to fall into the hands of the West? Perhaps the timing of this movement was not The Donald’s idea? Perhaps a nation that prides itself on deep planning is in control of what will happen next. What if a few weeks from now, it’s The Donald that is seen as the hindrance to the future of the Peninsula? Seoul has been the scene of many public protest, protest that turn very….very….violent. Are we heading in that direction? Is The Donald capable of avoiding this trap. One thing is for sure. If my hunch is correct, there will be no big contract for the Little Fat Guy in Hangover Four!
