Countries do not have friends, they have interests.
In this case the interest is to not have Seoul blown up, loosing the biggest allied economical partner in the region, and build perhaps a powerful USA ally right on China's yard (an unified Korea would be an economic and nuclear power).
And common!!! USA did far worse not long ago, it already built up brutal dictatorships across the rest of the continent, or middle east. Even South Korea was also a military dictatorship not long ago. The difference is that NK is extremely persona list, so no point in negotiation with diplomats when the Kin Jon fatty is the one who decides.
China does the same stuff but they have a state diplomacy stronger and well organized, so in China there is an army of diplomats instead of 1 to one talk, but the talks are the same "behave on the economical side, do not blow any ally and we let you handle things inside your borders without complaining or exposing".

Actually now I am in doubt if you are talking about NK or SA...

Can't blame me
I voted for Gary Johnson

People kiss the ass of a brutal dictator every sunday in church.

All those that voted for Trump, you got what you deserved, am egotistical moron, that doesnt know how to run a country, and only incites hate and raciest bigotry through out his office. Let this be a lesson, without knowledge comes ignorant possibilities that may cause tremendous harm throughout our world and our great nation. I have always voted Independent, so i can put the best person, with the right amount of experience in the White House

It's been done all throughout history by U.S. presidents, and although U.S. presidents aren't technically dictators themselves, they're pretty damn close with their imperialistic ways.

How about calling him what he is traitor.

Ashamed? We passed that about 1,000 miles back! How about outraged? How about infuriated?

Trump is playing the part of Nero with history repeating itself.... Let's hope the story continues as written!

Instead of being "ashamed", I'm going to go with angry AF, and support his removal. By whatever means necessary.

Who? What country?

Vague posts are annoying.

I have nothing to be ashamed of but this is just another dictators ass for trumpski. He’s a pussy mob boss wannabe and he’s attracted to men that are dictators. Otto’s parents let 45 know exactly what they thought of his pandering.

It's so sad that people still support this guy.
