A deeper reading of that “80% of Korean men abuse their girlfriends” shows that “pathological abuse” was included… such as “stipulating how she dressed”.
With that definition, I abuse my wife about one a week.
Also, with that definition, it is likely thst 100% of Korean girls have “abused” their boyfriends st some point.
This sounds like a case of imagining a sensational conclusion and then formulating a “study” that will back it up.
Despite the headline; I think Moon really has no interest in improving the defense of South Korea. What he is really starting here is a secretive investigative arm of the police, similar to the Soviet Cheka. “Saying that major tasks include establishing a new body for investigating high-level government officials suspected of corruption and rearranging investigative powers between the police and prosecutors….” He will say it is to crack down on “corruption” but really be used to round up and persecute his political opponents.
So.. yeah.. I guess this was what it was like to live in the in the early 30s when everyone was sitting on their asses saying “Meh, Germany’s not going to do anything.”
Really only 3 reasons for the DPRK to build up like this:
Protection of the Kim regime from assassination but it’s not like any country has overtly tried that except well… the DPRK in 68.
Protection from invasion but who the hell wants North Korea? It’s a shithole filled with uneducated starving peasants. The prize for winning an invasion of NK is a massive burden of rebuilding the worst country on the planet, wow what a prize.
Firepower to backup global demands. <-My guess.
So CH… I've been quiet and am waiting for your boy Trump to come through but he's falling short man. I know he's only been in X months but NK's not going to wait for him to get up to speed. Enough with the old man rhetoric and fucking do something.

“So CH… I’ve been quiet and am waiting for your boy Trump to come through but he’s falling short man.”
It seems that way.
On the other side, he has given ownership of this problem to China… so every test NK conducts builds a stronger foundation for changing the trade status (and trade deficit) with China.
One could argue America’s financial situation is more important than a NK threat.
Opinions on the resolution of this will best be resolved by history books.
It would be satisfying to see Trump smack NK’s peepee.

“he has given ownership of this problem to China”
By that do you mean that if this comes to a head the world will see China as the reason for the ensuing war?
I’m not so sure on that. People keep throwing around China like they’re the secret key to the whole thing. Ignorant to the fact that they’re the very reason we’re where we are and that they will not do a thing in regards to shutting down the DPRK.
“One could argue America’s financial situation is more important than a NK threat.”
Which is why the addiction to cheap Chinese manufacturing needs to stop. It’s a larger crisis than Opioids, Texas, Antifa, and all the other junk combined.
“It would be satisfying to see Trump smack NK’s peepee.”
It’s way beyond that. This isn’t a standard country that’s puffed its chest and needs a spanking. What other country in the history of ever has been allowed to get away with what they have? They outright shelled the RoK @ Yeoungpyong-do, most likely torp’ed a naval vessel, planted land mines on RoK soil maiming soldiers, attempted to assassinate the RoK president, abducted other nation’s citizens… GI’s got a whole series on the DMZ bullshit they’ve pulled.
If true, this is a crazy high number. Seems to be a serious problem. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/24/almost-80-south-korean-men-have-abused-girlfriend-study-claims/
Flyingsword, that is kinda fake news.

Then there is this today. http://m.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20170828000748#cb Moon calls for military capable for ‘offensive action’ against NK attack.
