North Korea Claims that South Koreans Want US Military Withdrawal
It appears the Kim regime is positioning its self for talks with President Trump. Wanting a peace treaty that would lead to the withdrawal of USFK has been a long term goal of the Kim regime:
North Korea on Wednesday slammed the ongoing negotiations between South Korea and the United States to renew their deal on defense cost sharing, claiming that South Koreans want the withdrawal of U.S. forces from the peninsula.
The North’s claim comes ahead of a planned summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and its leader Kim Jong-un that would be held by May. It fuels speculation that the North may seek to strengthen its bargaining power ahead of the talks, experts say.
The North has long insisted that the some 28,500 American forces stationed in South Korea should be pulled out for peace. Analysts said that Pyongyang might seek inter-Korean unification by force if U.S. troops are withdrawn.
The Rodong Sinmun, the newspaper of the North’s ruling party, condemned Seoul and Washington’s latest talks on defense cost sharing, claiming South Koreans are the ones who hope for the troops’ withdrawal.
“What South Koreans want is an unconditional withdrawal of U.S. troops from the South, an unwelcome guest that poses a threat to peace and security on the Korean Peninsula,” the newspaper said. [Yonhap]

Only the leftist Commie followers in SK want our withdrawal. The smart ones know the value of having USFK here.
Of course Commie moon fully supports the nK position…
Don’t discount the impact of South Koreans repeatedly hearing that tens of thousands of them are acceptable collateral damage as the cost for a preemptive strike to ensure American national security.
JoeC, with Americans gone from the ROK, there will be less reason for America to resist the urge to strike Norkistani missile, research, and weapon storage sites…
If the netizens can’t figure that out, well, maybe they’re already wanting worms in their bellies…
That’ll be the day when their white rice and samgyopsal goes to the Norkistani occupational army and ordinary ROK citizens experience what their Commie brothers went through. That’s socialism!
