If US withdraws, it is on Korea's account

You quote Bruce Bennett of Rand Corporation as stating “If the United States leaves, it won’t come back” was his prediction, in the event that the US and North Korea sign a peace treaty.” He is simply warning, not casting a curse, that Korea is splintering the US-Korea alliance by its ambivalence toward the US As a passionate Korean-American citizen, from this side of the Pacific, Korea comes across as a self-centered, unreliable, ungrateful, irrational, unruly, vociferous, entitled “ally.” I would like to remind you that only the US military intervention, with its treasure and blood, “scoop...

Your German reader in Seoul has been quiet after you had fully convinced me on the NK issue. But agreement is also worth expressing, and this time I have to.

Confused over who is mob

Does rightist irrationality represent the spirit of democracy whereas progressive indignation over power abuse represents Korean absent-mindedness?

Differing opinion can be patriotic

I read your article in the Korean Times with keen interest. l have lived and studied in Korea for about eight years, and followed the political situation in the country closely. Your article was a break from the media coverage of the current turmoil that has engulfed Korea for the past month. l must admit that my knowledge is limited to the English language articles and discussions l have had with my Korean friends. The president has been judged and found guilty in the court of popular opinion. It is very fashionable to insult and call the president names in public, and anyone who holds a co...

Don't blame foreigners

I have read with utmost attention and interest your editorial in The Korea Times on Oct. 21 about “ppalli ppalli” culture in Korea. As a foreigner working in the finance industry in Seoul for two years now, I'm hereby humbly offering my views.

Putin/Nazi comparison

The Russian Embassy in Seoul has noticed the editorial “Dopey Olympics” published in your respectable daily on July 27, 2016. By no way we could leave such an article without comments.

Coup attempt in Turkey

What happened on the night of 15 July 2016 in Turkey was an attempted coup by a small faction within the Turkish Armed Forces to overthrow the democratically-elected government and disrupt the constitutional order in Turkey. This attempt had nothing to do with the vast majority of the Turkish Armed Forces. The coup plotters were defeated by the bravery of the Turkish people, who in their thousands took to the streets to defend Turkish democracy. I am pleased to note that law and order in Turkey has been quickly restored and the culprits are being brought before the Turkish courts to face jus...

Sometimes the way a question is not answered gives you the true answer. And I think your question to the defense minister about the THAAD was very spot-on and important and unfortunately, you got the real answer by his evasion.

Irrational British decision

My feelings as a person from "the continent" after BREXIT might be similar to those of a spouse whose partner of decades, despite all the pleading, finally filed for divorce. But the project of the European Enlightenment is not tied to one form of political organization.
