N and S Korea ending the war?

[depotoo]

Has a lot to do with what their educators are feeding them.

IMO, even if they kiss and make up, our troops will be on the line for at least another 10 years.

The Berlin Wall fell when, 1990? We still expanded NATO (Poland, Hungary, Czech Rep), prior to Putin.

Here is the funny thing...when the Berlin Wall fell it was our society which began to decline. Communism died everywhere in the world except for the likes of Cuba, N Korea, Venezuela and the US Democrat Party. I think it has to do with security in general. Once the immediate threat was over people felt like they could sit on their laurels. Even revelations that came out when the USSR collpased that Senate Democrats had been working with the communists against Reagan didnt seem to do much.
it is why the GOP in Florida always won the Cuban vote. Cubans knew the horror of leftism first hand and reliably voted Republican. I spend a fair amount of time in S Florida and my family owned land in Cuba before Castro seized it. There is no hatred for communism, socialism and the Democrat Party like you see from people who had to live under it.
But the very youngest generation has never seen it first hand. Propaganda slowly corrodes reality and I notice the intensity isnt there for the younger Cubans now.

and younger people being a natural rebel, they want something different than their parents had. given they don't know how bad it can be, they just see it as adults "getting it wrong" and they can do it right.

good info.

I have my own theories about the 'fall' of Communism but I won't derail the thread.
