This is good news. North and South Korea have decided to march together under a single flag at the upcoming Winter Olympics in Seoul.
The two Koreas will field a combined women’s ice hockey team and march together under one flag at next month’s Winter Olympics in the South, Seoul said on Wednesday, after a new round of talks amid a thaw in cross-border ties.
North and South Korea have been talking since last week – for the first time in more than two years – about the Olympics, offering a respite from a months-long standoff over Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile programs, although Japan urged caution over the North’s “charm offensive”.
The two Koreas will compete as a unified team in the Olympics for the first time, though they have joined forces at other international sports events before.
North Korea will send a delegation of more than 400, including 230 cheerleaders, 140 artists and 30 Taekwondo players for a demonstration, a joint press statement released by Seoul’s Unification Ministry said, adding the precise number of athletes will be hammered out after discussions with the IOC scheduled for later this week.
This is a definite breakthrough. None of us want to see a war on the Korean peninsula. The fact that they have agreed to do something like this is a historic accomplishment. Donald Trump definitely deserves some credit for this. Of course, he won’t get any credit because the Jew-run media is obsessing over him allegedly saying “shithole” to describe shitholes.
Ultimately, some type of solution needs to be worked out that leads to a unified Korea. This type of situation is not all that different than division between West and East Germany after World War II. The Koreans are one people and should have one country to call their own.
