That’s not possible.
The South is not worried about losing a war with North Korea. They are worried about having a war with North Korea because a million people could die in the first 24 hours.
Good. Let’s withdraw all our forces from South Korea and let it handle any threat against it from the Norks.
Online, ya c@nnot see whether or not his lips are moving...in this case, it doesn’t matter anyway...........
When their psycho neighbor to the north threatens the U.S. its territories and other nations, the approval of South Korea to protect our interests is moot.
Let the Norks fire a few missiles at Guam and see how fast we respond. All I can tell this SK President is DUCK!!!
Maybe we should retrench to Japan, Taiwan and the PI with Pershing II’s and THAAD.
Leave the South to their own devices.
But they should be aware: The US now has a strategic, existential interest in disarming Norklandia. Completely.
The South can join us, or they can go their own way. Either way we don’t givva sh!t.
Yep. They really only have 2 choices .
Accept help from those who are able and willing.
Or live as a North Korean.
Beggars cant be choosers and all that....
All meant for public consumption.
Ok fair enough. We would hate to offend you, South Korea.
Let’s go ahead and bring our troops, equipment, and all anti-missile defenses back to US territory. If you don’t want our help, we don’t want to be a bother. And frankly it is costing a lot of money we could spend on other things closer to home.
We’ll send you a bill for the last 60 years worth of defense.
And when the North Koreans invade again, you can just go ahead and defend yourselves.
How’s that sound, hmm?
Notice the torturously twisted writing to make it look like ROK is standing apart from the US - which it is not
Japan also came out string and ready
Of course ROK politicians can afford to talk publicly like appeasers while privately being assured we and Japan have their back
I would trust the NYT spin.
And I don’t expect the administration to “rub the Nork noses in it” for backing off. They may be giving them a bit of rope here to save face and letting South Korea do the lifting. Who knows...could we possibly see a united Korea before all of it is over?
Agreement script:
US: We are attacking North Korea in 2 minutes.
South Korea: We agree.
The South Korean faker can say that now, since, after Trump’s blunt public diplomacy the dictator in North Korea has backed off his missile launch.
Listen, ya little punk, liberal worms like you got a lot of innocent good men and women killed not so long ago.. you probably weren’t even born then.. so STFU.
Oh, can you provide your own defense now? I am sure we can pull out and use our resources elsewhere!
This idiot doesn’t seem to realize they are trying to shoot missiles at US.
NYT in effect calls for America to be nuked.
You noodle-slurping morons had DECADES to move your capital, dig bunkers, and generally Do Something About Them. Now we’ve dawdled long enough that they have nukes so the stakes have gone from a few shells dropping to your half of the peninsula being glassed. Man up or surrender already.
F SK now. Nuke NK now.
Sorry, no can do. ROK doesn’t have a say anymore.
