Fears crazed North Korean despot will blast the South with nukes after Donald Trump threatens to remove crucial US troops from the border
Donald Trump previously suggested he would withdraw US troops from South Korea if he was elected
Fears have been raised that Kim Jong-un could unleash nuclear weapon on South Korea after Donald Trump threatened to remove US troops from the border.
Trump previously accused the South of not paying enough towards keeping thousands of US troops in the country and suggested he might withdraw them if elected.
And now the nation is concerned about the explosive war that could be triggered with North Korea if the President-elect keeps to his word.
Trump even invited Kim for hamburgers in a bid to end the dispute with the despot.
South Korean media said the nation had angered the tyrant by hosting America’s THAAD nuclear shield.
In an article for the South’s Joongang Daily newspaper, Professor Moon Chung-in said it was crucial to find a breakthrough, rather than relying on US sanctions and pressure.
"The US-led world order should no longer be regarded as absolute,” he wrote.
"We can draw a better strategic plan on the economy and security when we accept the changeability of the US-led order.
"The Korea-US alliance serves to fight the North Korean threat. It is therefore important to solve the stalemate in inter-Korean relations.
"We must try to find a breakthrough in the bilateral relationship instead of blindly relying on the US-led foreign policy of sanctions and pressure.
"The instalment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system and a hasty Korea-Japan intelligence-sharing agreement were therefore rash missteps."
North Korea has previously praised Trump’s threat to pull US troops out of South Korea unless Seoul pays more for the protection.
He further unsettled South Korean officials in May when he declared he would be willing to negotiate directly with Kim to try to stop the North’s nuclear arms program.
“I would have no problem speaking to him,” Mr. Trump said.
Japanese military bosses are also set to spend billions on beefing up their surface-air-missile capability amid fears North Korean nukes could start raining down.
The island nation is terrified that wannabee nuclear warlord Kim Jong-un isn’t really bluffing about pressing the red button.
