South Korea Proposes Peace Talks with North Korea

[blackascoal]

South Korea on Monday proposed holding bilateral military talks with the North this week aimed at reducing tensions across the border*and Red Cross talks on Aug. 1 to discuss resuming reunions of the families separated since the Korean War more than 60 years ago.

South Korea wants military talks to begin Friday*at a North Korean building in the truce village of Panmunjom, the Ministry of National Defense said in a statement picked up by South Korea's Yonhap news agency.*Vice Minister Suh Choo-suk said the talks would attempt to end*"all acts of hostility" near the Military Demarcation Line that divides the two Koreas.

The talks*would be the first dialogue between the military authorities in almost three years.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un voiced support for talks last year, saying dialogue could ease tensions in the region. A series of missile tests since that time, however, had added stress to Pyongyang's relations with*Seoul as well as other neighbors in the region and the West.

The standoff between North Korea and Seoul and its allies drew even more tense July 4*when Pyongyang tested its first intercontinental ballistic missile. The Hwasong-14's estimated maximum range of about 4,163 miles means it could hit targets in Alaska.

Pyongyang's tests have spurred urgency in development of a missile-defense system being deployed in South Korea. Last week, the U.S. military*successfully intercepted a simulated intermediate-range ballistic missile using the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system.

The defense system, along with joint military exercises conducted between Seoul and the U.S., have drawn sharp condemnation from Kim. Moon says bilateral talks could ease tensions.

I'm guessing the South Koreans have watched Trump's buffoonish behavior and decided they needed to make their own deals.

And I'm guessing the North Koreans have watched Trump's resolute behavior and decided they need to come to the table.

I guess you haven't been paying close enough attention.

A. The South Koreans are angry at Trump for slipping more missiles into their country without telling them.

B. It is the SOUTH Koreans who are extending the olive branch of peace.

.. but feel free to interpret this anyway you choose.

No doubt Trump is going to want to take credit for this. :0)

Expect to see all kinds of new global military and economic alliances without the US included.

B. It is the SOUTH Koreans who are extending the olive branch of peace.

A. Are South Koreans "angry at Trump", or are They scared of China, who reacted aggressively to the THAAD deployment?

Even the failing NYT says South Korea "Voices Support for U.S. Antimissile System".

B. Are these allegedly unilaterally angry South Koreans extending "the olive branch of peace", or simply making another in a long series of diplomatic feints which have been ongoing for decades?

Please, expand on your theme.

OK. Can we also expect to see less foreign and military aid to these faithless "allies"?

Interesting fact:

November 8, 2016

According to the chief of United States Forces in Korea, GEN Vincent Brooks, the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile system will be deployed to South Korea sometime in the next eight to ten months. Brooks’ remarks also suggested that the South Korean battery would be larger than the one currently deployed in Guam. The THAAD deployment is motivated by an increasing number of North Korean nuclear and ballistic missile tests. According to a Yonhap report, the deployment decision has led China to cease all high-level defense discussions with South Korea, some of which date as far back as 2011.
