SK Moon Vents Korea Frustration by Asserting Right to Veto U.S.

In a forceful speech on Tuesday, Moon asserted the right to veto any military action against Kim Jong Un’s regime, saying that decision should be made by “ourselves and not by anyone else.” He vowed to prevent war at any cost -- a statement that drew a sharp contrast with President Donald Trump, who has warned of “fire and fury” if North Korea continues to threaten the U.S.

“Moon’s speech speaks to his frustration, and his nation’s wider frustration -- and that is the perennial problem that they are not masters of their own destiny when it comes to North Korean geopolitics,” said Euan Graham, a director at the Lowy Institute in Sydney. “The U.S. now sees itself as the primary concern and the South Koreans as a secondary concern.”

Another great failure of the Corporate media is to ignore any anti- war talk by friend and for alike.
Why is Moon not being interviewed by media to get SK's position??
