South Korea and Japan Reportedly Institutional Cooperation As Much as Possible Before Return of Possible Trump Presidency
After the U.S. Presidential debate debacle, the ROK and Japan are probably accelerating the institutionalizing of various parts of their combined cooperation:
Former U.S. President Donald Trump caused friction with both allies during his time in office by demanding greater payment for their hosting of U.S. troops while holding one-on-one meetings with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.
Under Biden, Washington is seeking to solidify its system of alliances, both with increasingly sophisticated exercises and diplomatic agreements, Graham said. “It’s obviously a U.S. attempt to try and mesh their alliances as positively as possible, not just given the challenge of their adversaries, but also the uncertainty around a second Trump administration,” he said. “They’re trying to institutionalize as many of these habits of cooperation while they can.” Tensions with North Korea are at their highest point in years, with the pace of Kim Jong Un’s weapons programs intensifying, despite heavy international sanctions.

The only thing that broke Japan/Korea relationships recently was Commie Moon. And yes, a country wants Uncle Sam’s protection it is time to pay up and stop getting by on the cheap. Anytime Korea wants to end the mutal defense pack it is free to do so. Cutting their own throats, but free to do so.

Ah yes, our right wingers realizing that they cannot have both a Trump Presidency and USFK in Korea Forever have decided to give up on USFK in Korea Forever.
It’s obvious that they won’t be caught dead voting for Biden.
As for USFK leaving Korea, they are free to leave anytime. However the US have to be willing to give Korea nuclear submarines and nuclear weapons so that Korea can defend itself.
There’s always a price for getting what you want.
KP, the US doesn’t have to give SK anything. SK can make that in-house, it has all the technologies required. What’s required though is courage and vision in the leadership which is sorely lacking. SK needs a government that sticks up for the country and its people. Being a doormat for friends and foes, is what causes the problems. It’s ridiculous how even countries like Indonesia are taking advantage of SK. The word is now out that SK is a sucker that can be easily bullied and taken advantage of.
