More unilateralism from South Korea:

The South Korean government will ease regulations on trade and traffic with North Korea, starting from as early as next week. Under the new measures, military inspections will be abolished for vehicles crossing the western section of the inter-Korean border using the road running alongside the Gyeongui railway.

The move comes in direct contravention of a U.S. request, in the wake of North Korea’s nuclear declaration and diplomatic walkout, to put the brakes on trade and aid projects that prop up the North Korean regime.

No matter how vile, ruthless, obstinate, or belligerent the North’s behavior, no matter how long the U.S. plays along with the charade of diplomacy with the North, South Korea still continues to demand the continued flow of military welfare from U.S. taxpayers, even as it undermines U.S. security interests and abets the murder of millions of North Koreans.
