It
is only going to be a few weeks from now before President Trump meet with
“Little Rocket Man.” This historical first is making a lot of folks
uneasy—especially across the isles of both the Upper House and the Congress.
Some fear that Trump will make some extraordinary gaff and Kim Jong-un, who is
known within his realm as the First Chairman of the Communist North, will hop
all over the opportunity and make hay of it. If anyone believes this to be true
then they need to go back reading comic books.
If
anyone will be prepared for this meeting it will be President Donald Trump. He
is noted for never going into any negotiation without being fully briefed and
holding all the winning cards in hand. Trump is no fool in spite what Senator
Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi think. He recognizes the
past history of North Korea’s blatant lies and manipulation of the western
powers. He also knows that every President following the truce with North Korea
has failed in dealing with un’s father Kim Jong-el, also known as “Eternal
Chairman of the National Defense Commission,” or “Beloved Leader.” These
failures have resulted in North Korea becoming a nuclear bomb maker and
threatening all its neighbors including Japan and the United States itself. The
only problem “little rocket man” is confronted with is delivery.
And
it is the question of delivery of a nuclear device President Trump is concerned
about. He has made it plain that if North Korea was to launch such a device
North Korea would become the biggest hole in the world! So, using true
statesmanship he has adroitly pushed Kim into a position of comply or else—and
by else Trump means a renewal of the war between the two Korea’s. That stopped
as a result of an armistice that was signed July 27, 1953 calling for a cease
fire to end to the conflict. The only thing that really happened was the
shooting ended.
Since
that time North Korea, with the help of China and Russia, continues unabated to
enslave the North Korean people while they carry on to build up their military
and weapons. Where was the United States while all this was going on all these
years since the armistice? Apparently sucking their thumbs!
This
all happened because Democrat President Harry Truman wouldn’t take the advice
of Five Star General Douglas Macarthur. After North Korea invaded what is now
known as South Korea June 1950, the surprise nearly drove American forces into
the sea. General Macarthur, who was given leadership of the United Nation
Forces that were quickly assembled, began the arduous march to reclaim the lost
ground. And battle they did! Building up strength and through heroic courage of
the American forces who fought for every inch of ground, the communists were
slowly pushed back. Then on September 15, 1950, Macarthur pulled off one of the
most brilliant military surprise strikes of the war by an amphibious landing of
Marines on the west coast of Korea at Inchon. Some 75,000 American fighters
landed on the beaches and quickly overtook the enemy army. This maneuver
resulted to cut off and stranding North Korean troops in the south and
liberating Seoul.
But
Macarthur wasn’t done. He wanted to continue the battle all the way up to
Korea’s northern border with China but rather than back his plan Truman fired
him! And so the war continued. Following this the war seemed to be coming to an
end but then the Chinese got into the battle saving the North Korean communists.
And then Russia entered the conflict supplying the Chinese with Mig fighters
and pilots to fly them. All this continued until a “truce” was signed.
Since
that time North Korea has continued to rattle their swards and demanding
assistance in the form of agriculture goods, money (lots and lots of it), and
concessions that most reasonable people would think ludicrous. But leave it to
American politicians. Rather than confront the Communists we gave in to them
for fear of starting a war with China. As time went by North Korea became more
entrenched and more powerful to the determent of her neighbors.
This
unhappy episode has continued to the present when a new sheriff came on the
scene—Donald Trump!
But
now everything is in play. The old way of doing business has come to an end and
we now have someone in charge who isn’t going to give away the farm. Trump has
made it plain that if North Korea tries to pull off the same old game he is
willing to walk away from any deal with them. Again the liberals bite their
nails and whine that this isn’t the way to handle tyrants as Kim. But in
reflection it seems that the President’s plan is working well—too well it seems
for his opponents who are continuing to scream for his impeachment. It appears
that those folks who are continuing to be obstructionists are more in favor of
hating Trump than loving America.
All
this seems to not bother the President. He is now considering where the
upcoming talks with Kim will take place. He seems to favor the demilitarized
zone between North and South Korea but nothing has yet been decided. Wherever
the meeting will take place you can bet your bottom dollar that Trump will walk
away with exactly what he wants in favor of the United States.
Remember
the surprise General Macarthur came up with when he invaded Inchon? It’s the
belief by many that President Trump can come up with a similar plan and you
know what happened when the Marines hit the beaches!
