. however, yesterday, we met as the chairman mentioned we met with our u.n. ambassador who said that the drc has anounced that they will hold presidential elections in december of 2018. that seems like a ridiculously long time to wait considering the elections were supposed to be held long ago and i think you mentioned that's a way of really extending it to another term. but my concern is even if it is genuine there will be elections held in december of 2018 i'm not convinced that does not mean that cubillau won't be on the ballot. until we hear definitively a public announcement that he will not seek a third term and will not change the constitution and i believe if i heard the ambassador right she did say that he said he wouldn't change the constitution, correct? but i do not believe he has made it public statement he will not be on the ballot. which obviously if he was on the ballot, that's a violation of the constitution. however, we all know that sometimes people find ways of saying they're not violating the constitution. like in berunldy it was just a different interpretation. i wa

call south korea, was a very different situation. with the assistance of the u.n., they sponsored elections in south korea and south koreans elected a democratic government. north korea, however, wanted to unite under its terms and so it sent insurgents into south korea to try and overthrow that government and they failed to do so. then, in january of 1950, the u.s. secretary of state dean achison made a significant error. in a speech talking about the areas of influence and positions that were vital to the united states's interest, he mentioned japan and the philippines and omitted south korea. the north koreans interpreted that as a statement that the u.s. wouldn't go to war to defend south korea, and so in june of 1950, armed with soviet equipment and aided by the chinese, the north koreans invaded south korea, and as you can see from our map, they stormed right across the border. the south koreans were largely caught off-guard and unprepared. the u.s. had military forces in japan under our far eastern commander douglas macarthur. the problem was that those troops and their uni
