Picture of the Day: No THAAD In My Backyard

Residents block trucks to oppose THAAD deployment

Residents of Seongju County confront policemen on May 29, 2017, as they block the entry of trucks to the site picked for the deployment of a U.S. anti-missile defense system. Five trucks tried to enter the golf course in the county, 296 kilometers south of Seoul, that will host the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) for environmental inspection but then turned back. The deployment is fiercely opposed by local residents and some civic groups and religious organizations, including Won Buddhism which provided this photo. (Yonhap)

It may be time to get the hell out of South Korea. They value the Red Chinese money more than there self defense.

Much ado about nothing really …

Mun is (albeit very quietly) indicating that he is supportive of THAAD.

China is hurting itself just as much as it’s hurting Korea with all its BS tactics – right when it could use the kind of investment Hyundai, Samsung, etc. can provide.

And a lot of the noise you hear about this is just Korea exaggerating about how the big bully China is f’ing with the Koreans.

In a few months, China is going to quietly back off, Korea is going to stop licking its fake wounds, and Namdaemun and Dongdaemun markets will once again be crawling with Chinese.
