North, South Korea to March Together Under 1 Flag at Winter Olympics
Posted 6:24 AM, January 17, 2018, by CNN Wire

North and South Korean athletes will march together at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony under a unified flag, the South said Wednesday, in a diplomatic breakthrough following days of talks between the two countries.

They will also field a joint North and South Korean women’s ice hockey team for the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, which begin early next month, South Korea’s Unification Ministry said.

Wow, you're the one who mentioned Trump, not I.

But now that you mention it, this is far from "isolating" DPRK.

Now that we mention it, I totally respect your opinion but, posting pro-choice articles, and now, posting about these Pakistani Muslim Clerics issuing a Fatwa against suicide bombers and comments per this article, I hope, it's not too off-topic to say, it seems clear where your sentiments lie.  In fact, some of your views seem to speak negatively on Christians, right? Posting something about what some Christian Evangelist did but look here, these Clerics are condemning suicide bombings.  :pondering:

Perhaps bringing reconciliation between North and South Korea, which was spoken about for 9 months at least, is not necessarily, "outmaneuvering us".

Maybe this is in fact, cautiously successful.

@TomSea

Interesting you hone in onto select, cherry-picked items.  I post a variety of things I don't see you listing here.  I believe in being informed, even if things aren't comfortable or supporting "our" view.

Let's look at the one today about Pakistani Muslim clerics issuing a fatwa against suicide bombers.  How often have we said that Muslims don't speak up enough against terrorism?  And now here's an example -- wouldn't that be something we might consider cheering, or at the very least, find of interest?  I think it would, so I posted it. 

You seem to imply that I'm anti-Christian, yet I specifically brought up the Christianity of a young couple I encouraged people to support, here: http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,241991.msg1546543.html#msg1546543 (http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,241991.msg1546543.html#msg1546543)  I imagine I have expressed that Christianity is probably the best and perhaps only hope for Western Civilization's future.  But I don't believe in ignoring the warts on one hand while imagining them on another.
