Korean Olympic day Todd this is trip and today I'm talking about the beginnings
of maybe a day taught between the two Koreas which gathered momentum during
the recent 2018 Winter Olympics Kim jong-un the self-styled the great leader
of North Korea sent his little sister kim je-yung kim yo-jong to south korea
she invited South Korean president moon jae-in north on official unofficial
visit one day at the opening ceremony the two of them Kim and moon sat in the
vicinity close vicinity to each other later they went to dining and to a
concert together and I think they did any dancing together the two Koreas at
the opening ceremony marched out under a unified flag of Korea the two hundred
North Korean cheerleaders were there doing what they what cheerleaders do
best you don't really pick your cheerleaders
wearing wearing a short short style skirts to come from out North Korea
which is a cold drab millet military-type totalitarian nation
basically they were everybody was putting on a big smiley face and North
was all it was a public relations thing the Korean pop music groups and singers
some of them performed there was a room of the Ron bong band from North Korea
might come to the south that's the group that Kim Jong Un's started for public
relations reason they're girls it is a a band they dance they're very talented
they dressed like pop singers do sometimes I dress in military type
uniforms very catchy some of their songs imran bong band or my country is the
best the hymn of advancing socialism and glory to General General Kim jong-un
which of course is Kim jong-un's favorite song
the singer for that group eunsung eunsung wall came to the Olympics says
to the in advanced preparation she was there before the Olympics so kind of
paving the way for logistics and for the north not the north delegation visit
she's a star in North Korean some of her songs are excellent horse like Lady
footsteps of soldiers I love Pyongyang and that great
toe-tapper which many of you have danced to she is a discharged soldier okay time
to be a little bit serious now I was born during the last Korean War June of
52 July of 1953 during that war 33,000 US soldiers and 35,000 were killed in
action we also had thousands of other one didn't some that were prisoners of
war some are captured and brainwashed and never came home in addition several
thousand of our allies separate casualties killed wounded captured but
far greater than our losses were the two to three or four million Koreans Korean
casualties of that war they in killed wounded and captured plus the Korean
continent was destroyed the Korean War so cold war came just five years after
the end of World War two Korea was recovering from that and the two Koreas
of course were divided along the 38th parallel until the north the North
Koreans attacked the south with far greater forces in the south and we you
know we and our allies went to defend the south it was never declared war it
was called a police action well 70 years ago 70 years later we still are paying
for that war think of the cost over many years of 70 years although I'm sure the
South Koreans have offset part of that cost when will we ever leave South Korea
we'll probably be there 70 years from now
our children and grandchildren other permanent presence that permanent
presence that we have in the world in so many countries we're just in too many
places and for too long a time but what is what is the solution to it when can
we bring our our forces home and no longer beat no longer have that ISM as a
distraction in a potential tripping point for another war what we've never
been there and the two Koreas have united under the North would it still be
that would there still be the same tension in the area well we went to
Vietnam and that nation suffered so many millions of casualties it was destroyed
we lost the Vietnam War it's now united under under the north is there a
socialist or communist country when a North Korea is a dictatorship the people
are starving there are gulags is repression we know all of them what if
we weren't there what would it look like in what will it look like 70 years from
now so is this they taught from North
Korean of hostilities the beginning of something great that like the Berlin
Wall when it came down between East and West Germany or is that they taught
Nealon is it really just something whereby the north is trying to buy some
time to build up their nuclear forces so that we can never even think of
attacking them in case they continued to threaten to attack the US or our other
allies in the region is an attempt by the north to isolate the u.s. from its
allies that's what I'd like to know and I appreciate you commenting below and
