we should pull out of South Korea.
They don’t like us, they don’t want us there. And our saber rattling will just embolden the North Koreans.
I’m serious. South Korea has never been that great of an ally - we should just let the hungry dogs eat them.

They backed us in Vietnam, have provided us with a strategic outpost to monitor both the Russians and the Chinese, and are healthy trading partners.
But your right we should just abandon all our allies to the hungry dogs that is an excellent strategy.
This is more between China and the Us than the Koreans. It will be interesting how it all pans out.

FYI the Southies fought by our side in Viet Nam having the second largest contingent in SEA (behind the U.S.) and were fierce fighters at that. The Viet Cong were terrified of them.
Between 1965 and 1973, 312,853 South Korean soldiers fought in Vietnam.
