Reading Thomas Rick's Churchill & Orwell as refreshers for William Manchester's The Last Lion and George Orwell's Homage to Catalonia. Both recognized the truth despite vehement resistance. Churchill's early recognition of Hitler as someone to be resisted at all costs is what made him the hero of the previous century and Neville Chamberlain the great appeaser with his misguided statement that "Hitler is a man we can work with." Today in South Korea we see its new President Moon Jae-in try to better relations with Kim Jong-Un by whatever means possible. From afar it looks like he hopes that the bully playing with nuclear matchsticks will respond favorably to peaceful overtures. Worse yet China, the Super Power of the region, doesn't see the kid for the menace that he is for disturbing the harmonious inter-working of the region's economies to China's detriment and chastises South Korea, and important part of the region's successful economy, for having taken U.S. defensive missiles. President Xi Jinping needs to come to Churchill's determination that Kim Jong-Un is the Adolf Hitler that no nation can work with and take him out.
6 Jul 2017 fixed name to Kim Jong-Un rather then to his grandfather, Kim Il-Sung
