In an area where “saving face” is paramount, this will be difficult.

What we see in the Korean Left is the same thing we see her int he US and in other regions. The continued fall back on old grievances for political expediency!

The Japanese are not going to apologize for past harm, they’ve done all they will. Very, very few are alive today that participated in these acts.This is the same idiocy as asking for reparations from American whites for slavery!

The real problem is none of these countries believe they can base their national security on the guarantee of the US under this administration, an administration that for all intent and purposes is owned by the Chinese!

This fake honeymoon episode or manufactured ersatz will not last.

South Koreans will never forget the time when their former tormentors or former colonialists tried to stem out their culture and language.

As a result of those heavy past actions, the Korean language of today is peppered by loan words from their tormentors or occupiers or squatters.

It’s an unfortunate development or unlucky stroke of history, one the south Koreans can’t reverse or shake off. No hope at all.

Thus the rapprochement won’t last. It will disappear once the sun of righteous nationalism of both sides moves to 12 o’clock high position.

For Japan, the days are numbered. The car industry, an important economic pillar, is being overshadowed and even overtaken by erstwhile bit or peripheral competitors and thus finito for the Tokyo state rulers.

For Seoul, the future isn’t that bright either. The US military has a choking grip on its neck and it is only breathing because the grip has not been forced to the nth degree otherwise it’s certain death. Or send to the next step beyond.

This ‘rapprochement’ won’t last. It’s like an agreement made between two expert highwaymen or between two highly skilled casino scammers.

In the end, both will scheme for the collapse of the other.

In the process, they will drag one another into the deep end or into the part of the water filled with sharks.

Both nations deeply distrust one another, and this ‘rapprochement’ is just a piece of playacting neccesitated by the direct personal wish or insistence from current top playactor of the world biden the chief dogbarker.

Once the chief dogbarker exits the stage, it will be back to business as usual for the two scammers or pros.
