” let the frickin’ UN handle it and let U.S. get out of the way. “

If I understand the historical background correctly, the U.S. *is* “the frickin’ UN” in this situation, since our Status of Forces in South Korea was established by a UN mandate which predates SEATO or any bi-lateral defense treaties which may be in effect....

Yes, I recall that the original “police action” was in concert with the UN and that the action never ended but is now in truce. I also understand that we, the US, requested a UN mandate but that it is not a UN requirement of US.

So, since it is a UN action, as you assert, why is the US so prominent and the others so absent?

The US represents 4.4% of the global population. We have 30,000 troops in SK at our cost and our risk. I’ll risk that some may understand the implication of this proportionality.

When last I checked my facts the US is one nation of 192 member states. Where are the other 190 in this engagement?
