PattyO is a special kind of stupid isn’t he. It isn’t about being ‘friends’, it is about the much greater implication on us if a regional war breaks out there. It is cheaper and easier on us to remain that firewall.

Pats got a point. The South has an economy 10 times the Norths in size.
Time for them to step up and. Defend their own country . We could still be called on to back the mup without keeping. Thousands of US troops in the South.

Why should we spend borrow from China billions of dollars to provide for South Korea's defense?

If North Korea invades South Korea, how does that threaten the U.S.?

Why is there an implication that the U.S. must be involved in that war?

What is stupid is the assumption that America must expend blood and treasure on behalf of other countries.

Never mind the claim that “Mao’s China gave up world revolution for state capitalism” . . . pure ignorance. China is all over Africa and South America trying to spread communism (Monroe Doctrine long dead), and “state capital(ism)” is a fundamental part of communism per the Manifesto (Plank 5 clearly dictates the “(c)entralization of credit in the hands of the state by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly”—so anyone claiming that what China is practicing in terms of economy really deviates from the Manifesto is either ignorant or deluding oneself).

Playing nice with China is why we still have North Korea. Pulling the wool over Nixon’s eyes by making him believe there was some sort of rift between Mao and the USSR was one of the most transparent diversionary tactics by the communist bloc, yet the man fell for it hook, line and sinker. As Sun Tzu’s book The Art Of War clearly states, “All war is based on deception” . . . yet if you read the Manifesto, the tactics are blatantly visible for anyone to see and the efforts at deception were not very elaborate. Furthermore, the worst thing to happen during the Korean War was the firing of General MacArthur—he was following one of the chief precepts of The Art Of War, that being the fact that “(i)f fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight, even though the ruler forbid it” . . . even worse, it was Red China who attacked us, and it made us seem utterly gutless to curtail our retaliation, never mind completely against George Washington’s admonition that “it must be known that we are at all times ready for war” (lest anyone forget Washington’s special designation not merely as a prominent Founding Father but indeed the Father Of Our Country).

You've got a point. But as a nation we have gone way, way beyond bankrupt. So perhaps old Frederick has a point also.
