65%의 미국인들이 북미회담과 남북회담 지지한다는 여론 조사와 함께 남북한 평화 프로세스가 트럼프 지지율 상승에도 기여했다는 뉴스가 있습니다. 그런데도 불구하고 트럼프 대통령이 극우, 초강경론자, 전쟁 지지자인 존 볼트를 백악관 안보자문위원으로 내정했습니다. 미국내 평화단체는 더 적극적으로 한반도 평화 프로세르, 남북, 북미회담 반드시 성공해야 한다는 각오로 불철주야 평화 운동을 전개하고 있습니다. 이분들의 냉철하고 우수한 분석들을 아주 길지만 보냅니다. 글 한편, 인터뷰 한편에 담긴 한국에 대한 사랑과 지극한 미국시민들의 정성, 많은 지지 바랍니다. 많이 클릭 하셔셔 구글 서치에 쭉쭉 올라 오도록 해 주십시요. 대한민국 국민들, 남북한 흔들리지 말고 단결 반드시 주권과 평화를 지키는 역사적 사명을 완수합시다.

"Sixty-five percent of the respondents said they believe the U.S. will able to resolve the situation diplomatically, the highest level in all the surveys since August…On Trump's ability to handle the situation with North Korea, 46 percent expressed confidence -- the highest in all surveys."
미국인들의 65%가 북한과의 문제를 외교적으로 풀어야 한다고 최근 여론조사에서 답했다. 이는 지난 8월이후 조사에 가장 높은 수치다. 또한 트럼프 대통령이 북한 문제를 다룰 능력이 있느냐는 질문에는 역시 최고치인 46%가 믿음을 갖고 있는 것으로 나타났다.
Dear Friend,
According to the latest poll, sixty-five percent of the American respondents support President Trump’s decision in support of the U.S.-North Korea summit. The same poll shows that American’s confidence in the prospect of a diplomatic solution to Korean peninsula is at the highest and that President Trump’s ability handles North Korea is the highest! This good news for both President Trump and America was in part due to the diplomatic efforts by two Koreas!
However, there is a terrible news. At this critical moment with an amazing momentum when Koreans and Americans are hopeful for diplomacy, even giving credit to President Trump for his efforts, President Trump fired the 3-star general and Iraq war veteran, McMaster, and appointed an extremist hawk (draft dodger) and pundit for Fox News, John Bolton for the National Security Advisor (please see information about Mr. Bolton below). It was a morally wrong choice!
Yesterday, hundreds and thousands of our American teen-agers marched on Washington to protest gun violence in their schools, streets, and homes. It was truly inspiring and a reminder for us. Subjecting our kids to violent death is wrong. And, as you know, the biggest gun violence is war—the biggest of all a nuclear war!
That’s why peace on the Korean Peninsula is so important as to deem our attention.
We aren’t going to send our young people again to another phony war, definitely not to a nuclear war!.
This week I am kindly sharing with you excellent works by our independent American analysts, peace activists, and journalists who are determined to expose the truth, preserve the current moment for peace and prevent wars. The mainstream media won’t report them, but we will! They are pushing us forward, not backward to the failed wars!
Please help these activists by promoting their great works!
Imagine a nuclear-free-northeast Asia-Korean peninsula with a 80 million peaceful nation with awesome purchasing power!
A unified and peaceful Korea will be pro-China, pro-Russia, pro-Japan, and most importantly, pro-America!
Please help us!
The inter-korean peace process is unstoppable!
The more hardline and bullying approach the United States takes toward the Korean Peninsula, the more two Koreas will be forced to rely on each other.
· The inter-Korean summit is more important than the U.S.-DPRK summit.
· North Korea agreed South Korea’s proposal to hold the second high-level talk on March 29.
· The Blue House announced the theme of South Korea’s concert in the north: “Spring is coming”.
1. More U.S. voters confident in diplomatic solution with N.K.: poll
65퍼센트 미국인들 북미 정상 회담 지지 최근 여론 조사. 남북한 평화 프로세스 트럼프 지지율 높힘에 기여.
Sixty-five percent of the respondents said they believe the U.S. will able to resolve the situation diplomatically, the highest level in all the surveys since August…On Trump's ability to handle the situation with North Korea, 46 percent expressed confidence -- the highest in all surveys. Another 51 percent said they do not have confidence. Still, 66 percent approved of the planned summit, while 24 percent disapproved.

2. [News Analysis] President Moon stresses need for denuclearization, establishment of peace on Korean Peninsula. Hankyoreh
문재인 대통령 긴 안목과 비젼으로 한반도 평화 체제 구축 강조. 안보및 남북한, 북미 경제 협력, 북한의 다국적 국제기구 참여와 남북한 경제 공동체및 동북아 경제 공동체 목표 달성 강조.
Moon stressed Washington’s role in establishment a permanent peace regime on the peninsula numerous times during the meeting. Emphasizing that peace will not be achieved through an agreement by South and North alone, he insisted on “guarantees from the US.”
Moon’s emphasis on the importance of North Korea-US economic cooperation falls along similar lines. Lifting sanctions and helping North Korea become a “normal state” and member of the international community as denuclearization progresses will require the establishment of diplomatic ties between Pyongyang and Washington and the amendment or abolition of US laws barring North Korea from engaging in external economic activities.
“If [the agreement] includes all of the basic agreement terms from the past plus the results from this summit, it creates something along the lines of a legally binding ‘inter-Korean basic treaty’ like the basic treaty between East and West Germany that served as a cornerstone for German reunification,”

문재인 정부하 대한민국의 동북아시아및 국제 사회에 외교 강대국으로 비상, 스텐포드 대학 아태 연구소 소장 신기욱 교수 평가.
Amid the growing threat of war with Kim Jon Un, the South Korean leader’s upcoming trip affirms his country’s new place in the world.
"South Korea is becoming a bigger power," says Gi-Wook Shin, director of Stanford University's Korea Center and Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center, offering a colorful analogy for Seoul's place in its neighborhood…."Moon does appear to want to raise the visibility of South Korea as a mediator and a diplomatic force, not only in the Asia-Pacific region but the world as a whole," says Charles Armstrong, professor of Korean Studies at Columbia University. "He doesn't want to become overly dependent or submissive to China, but he also understands that China is and will continue to be South Korea's most important trading and economic partner."

문재인 대통령의 북한과 평화위한 베팅이 성공하고 있다, 더 네에션 한국 전문가 베테랑 기자 팀 쇼락 기자의 우수한 분석. 강추! 필독!
After this, of course, came Moon Jae-in’s spectacular diplomacy with Kim Jong-un’s representatives in Seoul, and the agreement in Pyongyang for Moon and Kim to hold the third intra-Korean summit in April at the truce village of Panmunjom, to be followed by the unprecedented summit between Kim and Trump. Moon’s approval rating among South Koreans is now hovering at 74 percent, “thanks to positive views of his handling of relations with North Korea,” the Yonhap News Agency reports…. And while they worried about the short time span before the summit and the lack of preparation on the US side, they said there were plenty of past US-North Korean formulations to rely on as precedents. They include declarations about denuclearization, respect for sovereignty, and economic and political normalization made jointly in 1994 and 2000, and the broader Six-Party declaration in 2005.

과거 북미회담 끊임없이 불이행한 자는 북한이 아닌 미국이다. 북한 신뢰 못한다는 기존의 편견을 타파해야 한다는 조셉 에스티어 교수의 저펜타임지 기고.
The United States did not keep its promises under the deal. Washington promised to “provide formal assurances to North Korea, against the threat or use of nuclear weapons,” but it threatened North Korea over and over, such as in 1998 when long-range nuclear attack drills on North Korea were simulated from Seymour Johnson Air Base in North Carolina. In 1999 the Clinton administration made some fresh promises and the North agreed to continue to respect the agreement, even when for years Washington had violated it and not made a good faith effort. Negotiations with North Korea have worked in the past. Please do not be a naysayer, get the facts straight and give credit where credit is due, so that peace can confidently move forward and thrive.

6. Gareth Porter’s interview with Democracy Now
Democracy Now. Trump’s Most Alarming Foreign Policy Move Yet? Warmongering John Bolton Named National Security Adviser. 트럼프 취임후 가장 위험한 선택. 초강경론자, 전쟁광분자 존 볼튼 안보위. 존 볼턴은 대북선제공격론 주장하는 위험한 전쟁광분자다. 게럿 포터의 우수한 인터뷰.
With regard to what he could do as national security adviser, obviously, he will have the ear of Donald Trump more than anyone else in the administration at this point. And despite the fact that Donald Trump has committed himself to a summit meeting with Kim Jong-un in May, you know, we have to anticipate that there are bumps in the road in the future that will give John Bolton the opportunity to try to convince him to move not just away from that agreement with the North Koreans, but towards the kind of unilateral first-strike policy that Bolton has championed in the past.
AMY GOODMAN: And the super PAC. Time magazine says, “President Donald Trump’s pick for his new national security advisor has ties to Cambridge Analytica, the voter-profiling firm currently facing criticism for its use of improperly obtained Facebook data. A super PAC run by former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton has paid Cambridge Analytica more than $1.1 million since 2014 for research.” That’s according to the Center for Public Integrity review of campaign finance records. We’ll end with that, Gareth Porter.

7. Bolton Fabricated Lies that Justified War on Iraq
존 볼턴 내정자는 이라크 전쟁을 정당화 하기 위해 거짓말을 했다. 미국은 그 어떤 국제법, 국제 기구 위에 존재한다. 타국에 대해 미국의 전쟁 권리를 광신하는 자다란 극한적인 편견을 가진 자다. 필리스 베니스의 인터뷰.
Phyllis Bennis’s interview with The Real News.
It's this sense of America first on steroids. You know, this notion that there is no accountability that the United States is bound to. Every other country in the world is bound to abide by international law except for the United States, and the United States has the right to use military force of its own volition against any country that might not be abiding by international law. So it's an extraordinary version of this kind of exceptionalism that is so incredibly dangerous. You now have an administration where the president has surrounded himself with all of the, the most extreme elements. The most Islamophobic, the most opposed to diplomacy, the most favoring war of all of the people that he has had at various points. He's been replacing his own administration right and left. And what people like to call the adults in the room, most of them are gone. They didn't do much to keep the others in line, anyway…. These are not acceptable appointments. It's going to have to be a massive movement to change that. It's not going to come from Trump himself.

8. Peace Action. John Bolton’s Appointment is a National Security Nighmare
존 볼턴 임명은 악몽이다, 미국 거대한 평화 단체 피스 엑션 성명.
볼턴의 목적은 북미회담 실패로 유인, 대북선제 공격을 정당화하기 위한 미국 전쟁 광분자, 강경론자들 대표함.
“This isn’t just another terrible appointment, this tips Trump’s hand about the likelihood of military action on the Korean Peninsula. Americans who recognize the recklessness of starting a war with North Korea need to stand up make themselves heard. Whether or not Trump follows through with his plan to meet with Kim Jong-un, Bolton’s appointment to this central role at the national security council strongly suggests Trump intends to sabotage the budding diplomatic opening, declare that diplomacy failed, and pivot back to war.”

Like so many of my fellow veterans who served in Iraq, I witnessed the cost of war firsthand during my 12-month tour in 2005. This was a major motivation for me to offer to serve in Congress—so that I could do everything possible to prevent our country from making such disastrous and costly foreign policy decisions again…. The American people are sick of our failed regime change wars. They are sick of paying the price for counterproductive wars that have taken the lives of our sons and daughters and taken resources away from our communities, while undermining our security and increasing the threat of terrorism.
The White House takeover by neocon warhawks John Bolton as National Security Advisor and Mike Pompeo as Secretary of State will further perpetuate our country's destructive policy of interventionist regime change wars, no matter the deathly cost or consequence. Now more than ever we must speak out for peace.
Reject the neocon, interventionist foreign policy establishment and join our campaign for peace.

존 볼턴은 정말 위험하다. 뉴욕 타임지 사설.
30년 동안 3명의 미국 대통령하 존 볼턴은 외교와 군축 회담 반대,폄하한 인물이었다. 군사 해결, 전쟁을 지지한 인물이었다. 1994년 북미협정을 파괴하기 위해 그 누구보다도 분투한 인물이었다. 현재 북한이 20여개의 핵을 보유하는 것도 바로 볼턴 같은 자의 외교 파괴 결과다.
Over a 30-year career in which he served three Republican presidents, including as United Nations ambassador and the State Department’s top arms control official, Mr. Bolton has largely disdained diplomacy and arms control in favor of military solutions; no one worked harder to blow up the 1994 agreement under which North Korea’s plutonium program was frozen for nearly eight years in exchange for heavy fuel oil and other assistance. The collapse of that agreement helped bring us to the crisis today, where North Korea is believed to have 20 or more nuclear weapons.

Dear President Trump, President Moon and Chairman Kim,
As US civil society groups and individuals deeply concerned about dangerous military tensions between our nation and the DPRK, and the rising global risks of nuclear catastrophe, we wish to convey our deepest gratitude for the groundbreaking steps you have taken to begin the essential dialogue and diplomacy that must be undertaken if we are to prevent a war that would likely result in an unthinkable disaster for the Korean Peninsula, the United States and the world. We fully support the upcoming inter-Korean summit in April and the U.S.-DPRK summit in May, and we urge you to patiently and diligently seek common ground….Your talks hold the promise of moving not only the region, but the entire world closer to realization of that most desirable outcome, in which there would no longer be a need for a menacing US nuclear umbrella relied upon by the ROK and Japan, and a nuclear-weapon-free zone in Northeast Asia would exist in a nuclear-weapon-free world....
With all best wishes for success,
