Are You Ready For This, Peace Lovers?

There are stories making in the mainstream media that predict that at the meeting between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jung Un, a declaration ending the Korean War may be signed.  The stories then go on to discuss why a formal end to that war is a bad idea.  I'm not kidding.  There are actually pundits and Democrats who are announcing that a peace agreement with the North Koreans is a bad idea.  Amazingly, these are for the most part the same people who have been saying that when America sent huge quantities of humanitarian supplies to help the starving people of Venezuela, that was just a "trick" by President Trump to drag the USA into a war in Venezuela.  It seems that these "experts" a both against ending war and providing help to starving people so long as President Trump is on the other side.

It's important to keep in mind that the fighting in the Korean War ended in 1953 when president Eisenhower threatened to use nuclear weapons against the North Koreans and their Chinese allies.  After the passage of sixty-six years, it seems about time that the war should brought to a formal end.  Nevertheless, the "experts" are busy announcing that should this happen, it will be the result of Kim Jung Un "tricking" president Trump.

In nearly all of the recent past, the Democrats have claimed to be the party that promotes peace.  Republicans, they told us, are war mongers.  It seems stranger than strange, though, that these self proclaimed lovers of peace are now against a formal peace with North Korea and the helping of starving people in Venezuela.
