Awake Goy More than twenty-seven Korean American and peace/anti-war organizations in the United States issued a joint statement, which states, in part:
In addition to Koreans’ demands, we the people in the United States oppose the Trump administration’s ill-informed escalation of tensions with North Korea, call for a peace treaty between the United States and North Korea to finally end the Korean War after 64 long years… and stand in solidarity with all people — Koreans, Americans, and others throughout the world — unconditionally committed to preventing a disastrous rekindling of the Korean War.
Military conflict on the Korean peninsula will inevitably result in the deaths of those not only on the Korean peninsula, but in nearby countries who will be subject to an influx of US military personnel via the web of existing US military bases throughout the Asian Pacific region.
Civil society groups in Japan, South Korea, and the U.S. also issued a joint statement, which denounced the Trump, Moon and Abe administrations for aggravating military tensions in the region and called for a bold shift in policy toward peace:
Even as President Trump calls his predecessor’s policy of “strategic patience” on North Korea a failure, he continues the same policy, i.e., intensifying U.N. and unilateral sanctions and military threats… The Abe government, seizing on the crisis in Korea, has quickened the pace of remilitarization and revision of Article 9 of its constitution. South Korean President Moon Jae-in meanwhile, despite an unambiguous mandate from the South Korean people, who ousted his hawkish predecessor in hopes of a radical transition to harmonious North-South relations, instead continues to do the bidding of the United States as he assumes a hostile posture vis-a-vis North Korea.
When Trump arrives in Seoul on November 7, the “No Trump Joint Action Task Force” a coalition of 220 civil society organizations, plans to mobilize another mass protest in Gwanghwamun Plaza. And while Trump addresses South Korea’s lawmakers the following day on November 8, protesters will rally in front of the National Assembly building.
