President Moon Calls for “Reasonable” Level for US-ROK Cost Sharing
I think President Trump has a far different definition of what “reasonable” means than President Moon:
NEW YORK, Sept. 23 (Yonhap) — South Korean President Moon Jae-in told U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday that his government is open to sharing the cost of the U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) on a “reasonable and fair” level, a Cheong Wa Dae official said after their summit here.

You can read more at the link, but it will be interesting to see if President Moon tries to raise anti-US sentiment like he has done with Japan if he can’t get Trump to back down on significantly increasing the ROK’s cost sharing amount each year.
It’s reasonable for South Korea to pay market rates. How much is a free South Korea worth?
For how many years has the American tax payers been reasonable and fair? Pay up Chairman Moon.
The U.S. wants to be there as South Korea is foothold for its interests and potential launching point for invasion of China.
“potential launching point for invasion of China”
We may have different ideas concerning the magnitude of the word “potential”.
I’m really thinking someone has their neckwear constricting the flow of blood to the brain if they mean even 25% of what they say… If the US is going to invade China, we’re going to do it by selling a burger, fries, and a Coke. And then mortgages. After that, we’ll sell them little blue pills, hair tonic, and Johnny Walker, not necessarily in that order.
