Okay guys. Time out: go to your corners.
First of all, doesn't the NY generational "analysis" seem odd to you? Since when is media concerned about factual history?
Just asking.
Please consider these basic components:
This territorial division was part of the 1948 FDR/Eisenhower great post WWII giveaway and empire splitting. Now North Korea's population consists of over 25,000,000 and a per capita GDP of $1,000. South Korea holds over 51,000,000 people with GDP of $30,919.
Recently several North Korean soldiers have defected--no small accomplishment.
At an earlier time in history, East Germans looked over The Wall into West Germany. Some recalled post-WWII clean-up years when easterners formed bucket lines to remove bombed rubble while westerners watched bulldozers doing the job more efficiently. Then easterners watched the Berlin Airlift. We did not leave westerners to starve. As time passed and communism/socialism failed, The Wall came down.
The point is that Korea is still divided and Kim, the fat rocket guy, is playing power games. Who needs a Russian May 1st military show -off parade? The Olympics scenario is a manipulation meant to be played out on an international stage. And by gosh, it's working.
(Lay off John. If you trust an NY media source, your vision is skewed.)
