      6. Obvious problem is Trump's nuclear bluster ("fire & fury" Rocketman on a suicide mission). But the problem goes beyond that. Trump administration explicit policy is devaluing South Korean lives.

      7. CIA director Mike Pompeo told Fox News that “this administration is prepared to do what it takes to ensure that people in Los Angeles and Denver and New York aren’t held at risk from Kim Jong-un having a nuclear weapon"

      8. What Pompeo is saying is that the "risk" that USA lives as risk is so intolerable USA is willing to launch a war that will almost certainly kill tens of thousands of South Koreans (and Japanese).

      9. In the words of Victor Cha, originally on track to be Trump's ambassador to South: "Some have argued the risks are still worth taking because it’s better that people die 'over there' than 'over here.'"

      10. Trump's policy is very much an American First one: American lives worth more than Korean ones. Morality aside, why would South Koreans accept that logic?

      They don't want to die in a nuclear war either.

      Talk about being willfully obtuse. He is asking if the nature of the Kim regime is not a factor, because you are not talking about that at all.

      4. Is North Korea a Stalinist hell-hole & threat to world? Sure. You know who knows that more than anyone? The South Koreans. They're more likely to be killed by North than anyone, have had citizens kidnapped, etc.

      Yet he does not actually talk about it other than saying they know. He is maintaining the South Koreans prefer a family that runs multigenerational death camps because Trump shoots off his mouth He has not explained why the don’t like Trump, but not the preference for the North

      Nobody has a preference for the North. They have a preference for not having their nation destroyed in a nuclear holocaust.

          Your argument started as “US looks bad in comparison to the North.” How is that not a preference for the North?

          So better red than dead? People forget that evil is really evil. It isn't an act. The NK regime really starves to death & tortures to death it's citizens on a daily basis. Fight for freedom or literally eat dirt. That's their decision to make.
