Trump Talks Tough Instead of Talking to North Korea by Tim Shorrock

Democracy and Class Struggle says Tim Shorrock still has faith in Moon Jae-in the South Korean President - Democracy and Class Struggle have seen nothing concrete from Moon Jae-in and our hope for a new peace initiative from him has not been realised  

The current weakness of Moon Jae-in is contributing to possible pre emptive attack by United States on North Korea - the Trump /Moon meeting saw none of the backbone that he was advised to show by the South Korean Times.

Our view is that he is that Moon Jae-in is currently contributing to the deeping of the crisis and not its solution by his fawning and triangulating before Trump who will treat him as just another South Korean running dog.

Like Tim Shorrock we would like to see Moon Jae-in bite back and open a new initiative but we do not hold our breath in these dangerous times.
