If U.S. air, naval, missile, and ground forces were not in and around Korea, and if we were not treaty-bound to fight alongside South Korea, there would be no reason for Kim to build rockets to threaten a distant superpower that could reduce his hermit kingdom to ashes.

It's not uncommon in South Korea for a building to not have a women's bathroom.

I will try and make peace between North and South Korea.

Beijing cannot sit by and let her North Korean ally be bombed, nor can it allow U.S. and South Korean forces to defeat the North, bring down the regime, and unite the peninsula, with U.S. and South Korean soldiers sitting on the Yalu, as they did in 1950 before Mao ordered his Chinese army into Korea.

I want to make Seoul the front line of the new South Korea. Seoul is sleeping, and I want to wake it up.

We shouldn't be playing second fiddle to South Korea or anyone else,
