Locker Room Banter With Kim Jong Un
by John Lawrence
Maybe Trump inadvertently hit on something when he called Kim Jong Un by name and referred to him as Little Rocket Man. Never before had a US President even so much as mentioned his name. Kim has wanted to be a player on the world stage, and, now that his little tiff with Trump is all over world headlines, perhaps he feels vindicated. Could this have had the effect of bringing the two Koreas closer together? They do seems to be making peace in light of the Winter Olympics.
Maybe this is all Kim wanted - to be recognized by name. He called Trump a dotard and Trump called him little rocket man, but so what. He engaged in verbal jousting with the leader of the free world. Locker room banter as "grab'em by the pussy" Trump would call it. Guy talk. Well maybe now Kim feels that in order to really get one up on the dotard, he'll make peace with South Korea leaving the US out in the cold. It's really between the two Koreas. The US needn't have anything to do with it.
Well that might be a good thing - a united Korea. One less hot spot in the world. One more area where the US need not be involved. They should go for it.
