Bill Neely: It’s Trump Who They Are Really Worried About in Seoul, South Korea Today

‘People are deeply worried this kind of tweet increases that anxiety’

EXCERPT:

NEELY: "The curious sense is that people spend a second or two seconds listening to the latest threat from Pyongyang and then they simply get on with the rest of their lives. I thought it was very odd. I mean, you know the anecdote of the frog in the boiling water, that the frog never actually realizes that its life is seriously in danger, because as the temperature rises, it can’t sense those tiny rises in temperature until the moment when it expires. That was almost the sense that I got in Seoul, that people weren’t able to read the rise in temperature and it would have to be said that they were more worried, fact, by the threats that were coming from Washington than the threats that they heard every day from Kim Jong-un. Those they, as I say, they almost dismiss. It’s President Trump, it’s Washington that they are really worried about in Seoul today."
