ruling family would come here to south korea and i guess she's the second best thing to rule there kim jong il and her big brother you know i the whole world was shocked to begin with when kim jong un announced earlier this year that he was going to participate in the olympics at all and ever since then south korean president moon j.n. as as done his best to try to make north korea's participation in this libya had go smoothly as possible and just how the south koreans been reacting to the fact that north korea is participating in these games. well certainly i think many people here are happy for the reprieve that the olympics have brought to the peninsula last year we had missile tests after missile tests we had transit in trump and washington threatening to totally destroy north korea we had many tirades coming from john young so certainly for the past month or so that type of rhetoric has died down and i think people here are glad not to hear it but there is perhaps not as much excitement about the unified women's ice hockey team as perhaps the organizers thought there would be there was a

madeline albright was dispatched by bill clinton to pyongyang candidate john went and met with kim jong il who is kim jong un's father then head of north korea but when there was taking place at that time it was with washington's blessing and as a consequence we see right now and this is why i consider this to be a pivotal moment it's a test of whether or not the south korean government which is clearly looking over its shoulder to see how much resistance it's getting from washington will be able to finally take a step to emerge as a truly sovereign entity and able to carry out with in korean politics and on the korean peninsula its own power. it's a shame you certainly don't see north korea looking over its shoulder to see whether russia or china approves of its moves but here you have south korea with tens of thousands of american troops still in south korea and they they arrived in september one thousand nine hundred five they're still there. north korea doesn't have foreign troops on its soil so that is the big test will south korea be able to resist the pressure from washington it's t

clinton and bush were dealing with different kims-- kim il-sung, kim jong-il, and now kim jong-un, butook the same. or maybe, maybe he just can't tell kims apart. maybe that's his thing. he's gonna be walking in the street, bumping into lil' kim and looking at her like, "you son of a bitch!" tensions with kim jong-un loomed over the entire excursion, and it didn't help that north korea released a statement calling trump "an old lunatic." and donald trump was like "i've got 280 now." - moments ago, president trump openly mocked the leader of north korea. this is what he wrote: "why would "kim jong-un insult me by calling me 'old' "when i would never call him 'short and fat'? "oh, well, i try so hard to be his friend, and maybe someday that will happen." - okay, it's a little weird for donald trump to diss kim jong-un's weight when they have pretty much the same body type. i mean, yeah, i'm not judging, but i just think people who live in gingerbread houses shouldn't throw scones. also, also, i love that trump's response was "how dare you call me old?" it's like, so the lunatic thing, yo
