33. I do not believe the reporters are apologists ..

‘An apologist is a person who argues in favor of something unpopular. ... Apologists tend to be seen in a negative light, as defensive people who make excuses. The word apologist comes from the Greek word apologia, meaning "speaking in defense." Not all apologists are bad news; some just defend an unpopular idea.’

The reporters are reporting their reactions and the Korean people’s reactions to her...if South Korea wants to become more friendly with the north, then let it be so....

I do agree with another’s estimation that Kim could only want financial and fuel, food, due to our continued pressure on China and others sanctions.

My question, is it better for Koreans to decide their future....?

And yes, we are all concerned about crazy Kim and his rockets...
