What are you Korean credentials here? Journalist? Scholar of the Korean Peninsula?
I'm an academic historian with a fancy PhD, for whatever that is worth, and I have spent a lot of time looking at how difficult it is to diagnose causes behind historical events. Take my views with as many grains of salt as you prefer.
that's great. you can be a historian of whatever you like. it doesn't make your wrong take any more right.
Feel free to ignore me — I will happily reciprocate
I'm not ignoring you. I just don't agree with your assessment. The Koreans want peace with the North. History is useful here, but only insofar as understanding how we got there, not where they are headed.
1) I don't disagree that ROK would like a more peaceful relationship with the DPRK. (I'm not sure why you'd think I'm saying otherwise.) 2) I don't claim history can tell us the future. But ignoring the past in thinking about future possibilities is obviously silly.
(Also, as an aside — "what are your credentials for having an opinion" followed by "credentials don't matter" is a bad look. If you want to engage with the opinions — feel free. If you are just looking for an excuse to ignore them — then just do it, nobody cares.)
fair enough. but i do think it's far more important though to see what experts in that specific field are saying like Victor Cha. https://www.csis.org/analysis/peace-korea-what-you-need-know-about-koreas-summit-and-trump-kim-summit …
my thoughts aren't more important yours but these voices are largely absent from the debate. I have found Yonhap and others to be extremely more reliable than what US sources of news are saying.
