ROK Air Force Agrees to Form Joint Space Consultation Body with U.S. Military
It looks like the U.S. wants South Korea to play a larger role in space policy:
Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Park In-ho has signed a deal with the chief of the U.S. space operations and agreed to form a joint consultative body on space policy to strengthen cooperation, his office said Sunday.
During his visit to the Air Force Space Command in Colorado, Park signed a memorandum of understanding with Gen. John Raymond on the formation of a joint space policy consultative body on Friday (U.S. time), becoming official partners in space security cooperation.
The Air Force plans to further boost cooperation with the U.S. space force, including exchanging information, through the consultative body.
Park also held a bilateral meeting with the command chief, Gen. James Dickinson, and agreed to strengthen partnership on sharing information on space surveillance, as well as improving joint space operations capabilities, such as missile defense.

Interesting. This is despite Japan’s extensive lobbying efforts to isolate South Korea globally. Japan tried hard especially to convince the US to treat South Korea as a pariah terrorist nation. But the Biden administration seems to want none of Japan’s temper tantrums because the US knows where their national interest lies. US knows South Korea offers far more than what Japan can offer, namely, buying of American treasury bills with printed money. The upside is that Japan can do this because they have unlimited exchange swap line with the US dollar. But the downside is their economic decline is a steady long term collapse. Also, Japan’s incompetent military is a joke – I think even the inner American leadership knows that.
