SEOUL (THE KOREA HERALD/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Un views US forces stationed in South Korea as a counterweight and "bulwark" against China's "real threat" to his sovereignty, said former US secretary of state Mike Pompeo.
The former top US diplomat said that a critical lesson he had learnt from nuclear talks with Pyongyang is Mr Kim's perception of the United States Forces Korea (USFK), although the Trump administration "didn't get all the way to try to convince Chairman Kim that his nuclear weapons pose more of a threat to him than they did a security blanket".

So. Little Kimmie is glad for US forces. Protecting him and his against Chinese threats.
We truly are living in an upside down world.
Smells like BS to me.
Pompeo is somewhere between Lindsey Graham and Dan Crenshaw on my trust list. Closer to Eyepatch McCain on a good day, which the day he made this statement apparently wasn’t. :)
Don’t forget. The US is in NATO to keep the Germans in check. Damn Krauts.
Learnt??? Is that a word of just another of our great students of Journalism school.
Learnt is the Brit spelling which is what they use in Singapore.
It was said that NATO was formed to” keep the Americans in, the Germans down and the Russians out of Western Europe”
