Lee Jae-myung Vows to Restore Military Agreement with North Korea
What exactly did this military agreement achieve that makes it worth restoring?:
South Korea’s leading presidential candidate has pledged to restore a military deconfliction agreement with the North if elected, aiming to reduce rising tension on the Korean Peninsula. Lee Jae-myung, leader of the opposition Democratic Party, said the Comprehensive Military Agreement signed on Sept. 19, 2018, should be reinstated. The deal was effectively scrapped by both countries last year. “We urgently need to ease military tensions and restore trust between the two Koreas,” he said in a recent news release.

Pre-surrender documentation.
He vows it cause he probably discussed it with the North already.. this is all part of his/their plan.. he wants to get points for this for the sake of “easing tensions.” BS.. the reason why he and everyone are living freely in South Korea is because of the U.S. and many other nations who fought against communism. And now, he wants to give that all up.. just utter trash!
I remember reading about a document signed by the English PM and the German Chancellor in Munich 1938 that promised peace.
Apparently, a signature cannot stop armed aggression.
@setnaffa and the Setnaffarian bots need to get a life.
Lee Jae-myung’s proposal to reinstate the 2018 Comprehensive Military Agreement (CMA) reflects a return to engagement-centered diplomacy, but the effectiveness of the original pact remains highly contested.
While the CMA was intended to reduce accidental clashes and foster trust, many defense analysts argue it disproportionately constrained South Korea’s surveillance and response capabilities near the border—weakening deterrence without securing meaningful reciprocity from the North.
Although the agreement may have contributed to a brief period of reduced visible provocations, Pyongyang continued advancing its missile arsenal and conducting cyber operations, exploiting the South’s restraint.
Reviving the CMA without enforceable conditions or verifiable mutual compliance risks repeating a cycle in which the North buys time and strategic space, while the South assumes all the political and military risk. In this context, Lee’s pledge may be seen less as a durable peace strategy and more as a symbolic gesture that underestimates the asymmetry and opportunism in North Korea’s approach.
This forum is nothing but neocon galore. South Korea should make peace with their Northern brothers and kick out the american invaders.
Besides resuming the bribes, which are kicked back to DPK donors, what value does anyone in South Korea receive?
Setnaffa, it will make the Korean Thangs happy.
