"I think we'll see troops out of Korea, and possibly out of Japan as well."

That would be abandoning our allies. I don't think that's going to happen and it would not be a good thing. Our southeast asian allies are a lot different than our western European allies. They want us there, they are not jerking us around and they are not disbanding their military, rather they are ramping up their military. They are much better strategic partners than our Western European allies. We need to work with them and our Central European allies, real allies not Angela Merkel type allies.

That seems to be the President's goal. He was very clear this morning on his ultimate goal of bringing troops back from overseas. He noted it won't take place overnight but if he has any say in it then it will take place. And I take that to mean Japan as well as Korea. He's complained about the cost time and again.

If the President is that adamant about bringing troops home from Korea then I would say that all the troops in Europe should be expecting to be packing up and coming home as well.
