Eisenhower And soon to be Trump 

Eisenhower ended the war and brought N Korea to the table for peace talks. Eisenhower was a battle tested veteran with a strategy that was based on experience.

Yeah, I later posted an article from the Atlantic in response to Mango, which explains very well, the Chinese view of NK. Whereabouts in South Korea are you going? It's a great place, so I hope you have fun.

I will be between Seoul, Deajeon, and Busan.  South Korea is a great place, I have been there many times, I love the people and the food very much.

 

Here is another article discussing further sanctions and what may ensue.

South Korea’s response overall to Trump’s recent pronouncements has been much more muted than its past explosions against its protector — a sign that they know Trump is a different kind of president.

“They think they’re dealing with an unreasonable partner and complaining about it isn’t going to help — in fact, it might make it worse,” said David Straub, a former State Department official who dealt with both Koreas and recently published a book about anti-Americanism in South Korea.

 “Opinion polls show South Koreans have one of the lowest rates of regard for Trump in the world and they don’t consider him to be a reasonable person,” Straub said. “In fact, they worry he’s kind of nuts, but they still want the alliance.”

Not from what I am reading.  Didn't the ROK just conduct some live fire drills due to the last test?

That may be, but the SKorea-US partnership is facing strains.

 

This morning's China Daily front page is all about Xi and BRICS. The DPRK is kept to the back page.
