Those who do not know what they are doing ..

Even though I tried to avoid listening to any news about the latest presidential election in South Korea, I happened to listen to the news from the BBC radio while walking on a street in Tokyo. 

A professor who advises to the newly elected president about diplomacy was talking on an interview with a BBC announcer this evening.

He said that, like Trumph who had said America First, South Korean government will also say 'South Korean peace First'.

As always I feel whenever I hear left politicians talk about diplomatic or any political or economic issues, I could see the leftist professor seriously lacking the consciousness of the reality. 

It seems that he does not know what kind of country North Korea is, and what kind of country South Korea is. 

Besides, the thoughts of the professor were sadly not shocking to me, as this situation was expected enough. 

In the first place, when the ex-president was impeached amidst the ordinary political dispute, this tragic comedy was foretold already. 

The impeachment of the ex-president was nothing but the result of the irresponsible and opportunistic attitude of South Korean politicians, who seemed to regard such attitude as almost their traditional virtues, and of the immorality and ignorance of the public, who were ready to be utilised and manipulated by socialistic and nationalistic propagandas. 

Those BBC reporters and Western experts on Korean issues do not know how much weak South Korean public is to demagoguery and how much inclined South Korean society is to socialism.  

If they knew that the economic policies of the newly elected government are closer to those of Jeremy Corbyn or Bernie Sanders, they might not have used the term 'center left' in such a careless way, even though the current trend of Western media is also biased to some degree in favour of social democracy.   

More importantly, they do not understand what kind of ideology Korean socialism is. 

It is national socialism, and it is the same ideology as Nazism (Nationalsozialismus) of 20th century Germany. 

It is therefore no wonder that South Korean left politicians seem to have little fear of North Korean nuclear weapons. They do not know how much irritating the present situation is to all the other countries in East Asia and to the world, except for the Kim Jeongeun regime of North Korea and the newly elected government of South Korea. 

Until now South Korea has been a hostage to North Korea, and this was the principal reason that the US could not solve the problem of North Korean nuclear weapons. However, now South Korea has decided to act in the same way as North Korea does, which means that they would threaten East Asian peace together from now on. 

Now both governments of the Korean peninsula have become trouble makers as a couple. 

I wonder what Koreans would say now if Japan decides to make nuclear weapons. 

It may not take a long time for the world to confront the reality of national socialism of South Korea, which can be a trigger of a new race for developing nuclear weapons across the world. 

Anyway it is still astonishing to find that South Korean society and its public are so vulnerable to such political populism of national socialist propagandas. 

Would they really know what it means to say 'South Korean peace first', which was put forward today by its left government?

It is, simply put it, a declaration that they would not care about the long term effect on East Asian peace, as long as the South Korean left political party continues to win elections and maintains its political power.

This is hardly surprising considering the behaviours of South Korean leftists for the last decade, which shows an incredible shrewdness in using tragic situations and events for their political interests.  

 

North Korea has only to wait for the change of the government from the left to the right in order to threaten South Korean citizens. 

Nay, South Koreans in the future would not dare to vote for the right that are willing to face up to the reality of the threat from North Korea, no matter how corrupt the left government may become. 

This is the way that North Korea could control South Korea from now on. 

This is the way that indirect threats work when power balance between two sides has broken.

In summary, now South Korean citizens have become a hostage to both the North Korean regime and the South Korean left party.
