“No, but I don’t have an agreement to mutually defend my neighbors.”
I didn’t ask if you have an agreement; I asked do you? I could care less why you do.
Why do we have such an agreement and for how long is that agreement, forever?
I am tired of my tax monies defending another nation when they can defend themselves. Why doesn’t Korea defend the USA?
If it is proper for the USA to defend everyone else, then everyone else can defend the USA. Simple transitive property of logic: If A=B and B=C then A=C, meaning if two nations can defend themselves then neither needs to defend the other.
The logical conclusion is that the USA shouldn’t be defending any other nation capable of defending themselves, such as Korea.
And I respect your opinion, but we either stand with our allies or we don't have allies. When we and SK are ready to sit down and change our agreements, under the reality that a state of war with NK still exists, then we can do so. But its my own opinion that the state of war needs to end before we can just walk away.
