SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea's defense minister raised the possibility of redeploying U.S. tactical nuclear weapons in the country Monday, after North Korea showed off its latest advances in uranium enrichment.
Kim Tae-young told lawmakers that such an option could be discussed next month at a newly created joint military committee to enhance deterrence against the North's nuclear programs.
"We will review (the redeployment) when (Korea and the U.S.) meet to consult on the matter at a committee for nuclear deterrence," Kim told a parliamentary committee hearing, according to a report in the Korea Herald. "The Seoul government is closely cooperating with the U.S. in terms of intelligence sharing. So, (the revelation of the new uranium enrichment facility) did not come as a sudden surprise to us," he added.
It was announced in 1991 that U.S. tactical nuclear weapons would be removed from the country, the Korea Herald said.

They should ask Israel instead.
Won’t happen while _resident Zero is parked in the White House.
They (South Korea) should have asked for them in 1950.
Hmmm who’s telling the truth? I suppose they are worried about China maybe they want to downplay it?
Or India ... or pakistan.
None of them likes Chicoms too much and would like to balance them... in my very limited knowledge on subject....
They will get no meaningful help from Obama. He moved troops to Guam from Japan... withdrawal from the far east. He’s giving Taiwan to China and South Korea as well.

You hit that nail on the head.
Both the ROK and Israel have a better chance of Nork Nukes dropping on them than we do.

Rumor – Kim Jung Il Dead – Can Explain North Korean Attack

Its all about advancing the NWO agenda and to weaken the USA's role in the world while setting up Israel for destruction by their enemies.
ALWAYS KEEP THIS IN MIND WHILE OBSERVING OBUMMER'S STATEMENTS & POLICIES.
I bet The Whitehouse got a loud belly laugh out of that.
What a coinkidink!
Why just earlier today, NORTH Korea was asking for US nukes!
if you know what I mean (and I think you do)
and by the time he is out all the military infrastructure America built will be gone, all its secrets made public and then the weakened country placed at risk for a final solution.
The Great Satan has the devil in the White House.
