It is good to see that common sense is still alive in South Korea. Around 200,000 people took to the streets against President Lee Jae-myung’s policies, including what they see as his overly soft approach toward North Korea. Three South Korean soldiers were wounded by the explosion of North Korean mines. The UN Command documented a violation of the Armistice Agreement, while Lee Jae-myung described what happened as an “unfortunate accident.” And the very next day, the president publicly turned his criticism toward Ukraine and threatened “additional measures.” It gives the impression that this was an attempt to shift attention away from a problem unfolding literally on South Korea’s own border. A very low move. Unworthy not only of a president, but of a man. It is good to see that Koreans themselves understand a simple truth: it is better to be prepared for a war that never comes than to find yourself helpless one day when the enemy has already entered your country. And that kind of preparedness requires a president who faces problems directly and calls them what they are. Is Lee Jae-myung that kind of president? That is for Koreans themselves to answer. Ukrainians do not interfere in the politics of other countries — until their politicians start dragging Ukraine into it.
