Instead, he declared what may be dubbed the Trump doctrine — peace through strength. “America does not seek conflict or confrontation. But we will never run from it,” he said. “If you want peace, you must stand strong at all times.”
(scoffs) "The Trump Doctrine"? Nevermind that Goldwater (who didn't win the presidency, but actually used the phrase "peace through strength" during his campaign), Kennedy, Reagan, and others used this very same strategy. Kennedy even said so in his inaugural address. Honestly, the lack of historical memory many have is troubling. But this article was written by a Korean, so perhaps it's forgivable - I wouldn't expect them to know as much about our history.
We in South Korea welcomed him, saying that the objective of showing strength is to draw North Korea to the negotiating table to talk not only about its denuclearization but also about sustainable peace on the peninsula. South Koreans felt relieved by Trump’s promise not to “let the worst atrocities in history be repeated here on this ground.” Peace, indeed, is the imperative for us Koreans.
Well, I would like to make SK feel good about our stance. I'm glad it's being greeted somewhat well, according to this writer.
