Survey Shows that Only Half of Americans Favor Deploying U.S. Troops to Defend South Korea from North Korean Invasion
I wonder how many of these people surveyed even know the U.S. has troops already deployed to South Korea? This means there is no question the U.S. is getting involved to defend South Korea from attack regardless of what this poll says:

Half of U.S. citizens favor using American troops to defend South Korea in the event of a North Korean invasion, a recent U.S. poll showed Thursday, underscoring the public polarization over the security issue.
The Chicago Council on Global Affairs recently released the outcome of the 2023 Chicago Council Survey conducted by Ipsos, a market research firm, from Sept. 7-18. The survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
The poll found that 50 percent of those questioned supported the idea of committing U.S. troops to defend South Korea if it was invaded by the North, while 49 percent opposed it.
In previous surveys conducted in 2020, 2021 and last year, the percentages of those backing the idea were 58 percent, 63 percent and 55 percent, respectively.
In the latest poll, a majority of Americans — 57 percent — continued to favor the mobilization of U.S. troops if Russia invaded a Baltic NATO state namely Latvia, Lithuania, or Estonia, and an even higher proportion — 64 percent — favored the use of U.S. troops if Germany were invaded by Russia.

Polls can be easily manipulated. And anything out of Chicago is tainted.
I just invented a new curse.

“in the event of a North Korean invasion”
This shows just how out of touch everyone involved really is.
There are some traumatic events possible with North Korea but “invasion” is low on that list.
Meaningless polls asking meaningless question to shape public opinion rather than evaluate it.
Changing the Overton Window is their goal; but they may not have pivoted away from defending Hamas quickly enough.
People are getting red-pilled every day at an increasing rate
So, the polls are showing half of Americans are Democrats?
SK alone is building 14 Giga factories in America while building none in Korea. Taiwan gave up on building mega-semiconductor factories in the US because they didn’t want to pay the going American labor rates. Korea on the other hand, is on target to open new semiconductor factories offering high-paying high-tech jobs to Americans. Why does America have a labor shortage while having high inflation and a booming economy when the rest of the world is suffering from an economic crisis? Because so many factories are being built, especially by companies from Korea. Without the America First policy, all those factories would have been built in Korea employing Koreans and padding Korean exports and the Korean economy. What has Germany done for America to think that Germany is more useful to the Americans than SK? Fu*king ingrates. Just leave and fu*k off.
“America First”?
Seems like the chinabot can’t get the taste of Trump out of his mouth…
Biden is President now…
