North Korea War 'Could Happen' says Trump, but South Koreans Oppose Pre-Emptive Strike
According to a Gallup Korea poll of 1,004 South Koreans carried out from September 5 to 7, a majority of respondents (58 percent) said they did not think North Korea will provoke a war, while 37 percent said they thought it would.
In 2007, 51 percent of respondents said they expected a war, while 45 percent did not, also a much lower percentage than when the poll was first conducted in 1992. Back then, 69 percent of respondents thought North Korea would start a war.
The option of a pre-emptive strike in response to North Korea’s provocation was also unpopular, with 59 percent of respondents opposing the U.S. attacking North Korea first in response to Pyongyang’s provocations, while 33 percent supported that option.
Despite both South Korean citizens and their president Moon Jae-In’s opposition to conflict on the Korean Peninsula, President Donald Trump is keeping the option of military confrontation with North Korea on the table—albeit with a certain reluctance.
