Can Korea Save Its Relationship with the United States?
The premise, of course, is to either preserve or prolong an unhealthy dependency that serves the interests of neither Korea nor America. But both the (leftist, incumbent) Uri and the (conservative, opposition) Grand National Party are proposing to join forces to that end. A joint delegation from both parties intends to travel to the United States to lobby Washington.
Can they even agree on what they will lobby for? Not only does the South Korean view of the North Korean threat seem irreconcilable with America’s, but the two Korean parties’ views seem irreconcilable with each other.
Professor Chaos, meet General Disarray. No, there isn’t necessarily a way every time there’s a will.
