13. What's interesting here is how much in denial Americans are about the rift with South Korea. Not just Trumpists but centrists and liberals. Even though the evidence is in front of us:https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/josh-rogin/wp/2018/02/08/the-united-states-and-south-korea-now-openly-disagree-on-north-korea/?utm_term=.901e22873576 …

Pence's disrespect for his Korean hosts was disgraceful. Absolutely appalling behaviour.
-
The logical conclusion of that behavior is to celebrate the representative of a mass murdering regime that imprisons thought criminals in multigenerational work camps.
