is President Moon an idiot?

I saw this over at the blog ROK Drop: "PRESIDENT MOON ORDERS INVESTIGATION OF WHY THAAD BATTERY WAS DEPLOYED WITH ALL OF ITS LAUNCHERS."

Apparently, newly minted South Korean president Moon Jae-in was aware that two THAAD launchers had been deployed in an agreed-upon location, but when another four launchers showed up basically unannounced, he pronounced himself "shocked" upon discovering the existence of the "extra" launchers. It turns out, however, that six is a standard complement of THAAD launchers. ROK Drop humorously notes that this fact is no secret, as the information is readily available on Wikipedia.

Moon looks like a clueless idiot for adopting a drama-queeny, "Why wasn't I notified? We must investigate this!" stance to this non-problem. Couple that with Moon's reflexively lefty desire to re-engage with North Korea in a Sunshine-y way, and you have to wonder whether the man has all his marbles. Is this the presidency we're in for? If so, God help us.


UPDATE: perhaps I stand corrected about the Sunshine part.
