And you still haven’t responded. How much more are you willing to pay for S. Korean products because the S. Koreans haven’t contributed enough for our defense? Do you see any cognitive dissonance there at all?
My point in asking how much will the Koreans pay for our defense is a sarcastic poke at the fact the US, in keeping with treaty obligations, stations some 30,000 troops to defend South Korea. Unquestionably, that is a a huge transfer of wealth.
Perhaps we finally wised up and said to the Koreans after the last artillery barrage, "If you want our protection - agree to this".
