Korean Olympic day Todd this is trip and today I'm talking about the beginnings
of maybe a date on 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 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 200 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 draft Millett military-type totalitarian nation
basically there 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 it's a a band they dance they're very talented
they dressed like pop singers do sometimes they 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 hoon
which of course is Kim Jong Un's favorite song the singer for the
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
wound 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
the so-called war came just five years after the end of World War two Korea was
recovering from them 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're not 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 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 of
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 and 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 the 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 the 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 date aunt from North
Queensland and the South it is the beginning of a relaxation of hostilities
the beginning of something great that like the Berlin Wall when it came down
between East and West Germany or that they taunt Nili is it really just
something whereby the north is trying to buy some time to develop 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
