One can only hope. I’m honestly less concerned about S. Korea than I am Europe. They’re big boys and girls, they don’t need a 100 billion dollars in defense aid only to turn around and snub us whenever it’s convenient.
I realize we have some great and firm allies on the continent(at least on the island near the continent), but our relationship will only be better once they are required to adopt a responsible form of government, which will never happen so long as we foot the bill.
100 Billion could buy/fix a lot of things in the US.
