Secretary of Defense Hegseth Says that He Will Strengthen Defense Ties with South Korea and Japan
The new Secretary of Defense says ties with both Japan and South Korea will be strengthened. The ties with both country’s militaries are already very strong. If anything it will be interesting to see if ties with South Korea degrade if President Trump decides to cancel joint military exercises like he did in his first term when pursuing diplomacy with North Korea:
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth spoke Friday with his counterparts in South Korea and Japan, vowing to strengthen military ties with both countries amid regional security concerns, according to their respective defense ministries.
In his first phone call with South Korea’s acting defense minister, Hegseth and Kim Seon-ho agreed to “deepen and expand the level and scope” of their 71-year military alliance and strengthen security ties with Japan to deter North Korea, South Korea’s Ministry of National Defense said in a statement Friday. Hegseth also spoke that day with Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani. The two expressed their “firm intent to continue the initiatives to reinforce the alliance,” Japan’s Defense Ministry said in a news release.
They also agreed to “bilaterally cooperate to realize the vision of a free and open” Indo-Pacific and reaffirmed that their security treaty covers the Senkaku Islands, which China claims as its territory.

The FOX man didn’t get the memo from his boss. Too busy abusing and raping teens? His boss’s close friend is North Korea, not South Korea.
Biden was the kiddie diddler. Showers with daughter, letting children rub his leg hairs, sniffing women and children even on video.
But then, we don’t expect Temu ChatGPT to be accurate.
Alright old Maggot.
If I’m Temu, let me ask you this, and it’s a serious question to you.
Why is tariff rate for Mexico and Canada are 25%, but only 10% for China?
Can you and your Maggot friends answer that? Come on, let me hear what the logic of your Maggot leaders in this is.

“Why is tariff rate for Mexico and Canada are 25%, but only 10% for China?”
Mexico and Canada produce very little that cannot be replaced domestically. A 25% tariff encourages domestic production.
China’s supply chain is currently vital to American domestic production… currently.
The reality is that America has become dependent upon China to the point a calculator states the graph of economic punishment and economic self-harm meet around 10%.
For Mexico and Canada, those graphs meet closer to 25%.
Keep in mind, America is building factories at a rate never seen before in history. This is completely independent of politics. This is a combination of the Deep State, globalists, and the multinationals taking advantage of America’s resources, infrastructure, and geographic isolation with the expectation of global unrest.
These factories will produce things cheaply, as there will be maximum automation and minimum jobs.
These will begin to replace Chinese factories for fundamental good that America is now dependent on.
How come Setnaffa gets a pet name, and I don’t?
Give me something real hateful so every time you use it, I can feel you seething with impotent rage.
I see, but I thought this was about Fentynl? You are admitting that’s just a bullshit pretext? You think that the US will become a fully self-reliant dystopia run by robots. Well, we shall see, as it’s too early to say for sure if that plan will succeed, since Trump is still working on his plan to consolidate his dictatorial power using his new organization that controls your entire society, the DOGE. Once Trump’s army controls the entire government and media, what you’re claiming could very well come true – I agree with that. However, just be careful what you ask for. If the US no longer buys from the world, the world has no need for the US currency which is where your high standard of living depends on.
US national anthem gets booed again.

You no welcome anywhere American. Go home.
“I see, but I thought this was about Fentynl?”
Maybe? Who cares. It is a good talking point. Are you saying you would not do anything possible to save families and keep kids off the streets?
“You are admitting that’s just a bullshit pretext?”
Not really. It is a problem that is costing America a lot to deal with. Further, drug flow and illegal alien flow go hand in hand.
Personally, I want MORE Fentanyl. Like abortion, it is a terrible thing but, if managed correctly, it solves a lot of problems.
“You think that the US will become a fully self-reliant dystopia run by robots.”
It is inevitable. It is unclear how humans will manage this. When everything is amazingly cheap and available but people lose purpose, history shows they don’t become great artists and poets. They become fùcktards.
“Well, we shall see, as it’s too early to say for sure if that plan will succeed, since Trump is still working on his plan to consolidate his dictatorial power using his new organization that controls your entire society, the DOGE.”
We will see, short of a Butlerian Jihad.
DOGE is amazing and wondeful and hopefully is able to cut the fraud, waste, and abuse that pervades the corrupt and lazy government.
Thanks for noticing.
“Once Trump’s army controls the entire government and media, what you’re claiming could very well come true – I agree with that.”
It is coming true completely independently of Trump.
Trump may better control the excesses of much of government but he cannot control much of media, which is structurally leftist.
Though it is nice to see Disney paying Trump $15 million and Meta paying him $22 million for their past lies and shenanigans. Paramount via CBS via 60 Minutes is now in talks to settle over their reediting of the Kamala interview which replaced her complete word salad nonsense answer with the somewhat more intelligible answer to another question.
The plan to mechanize production in a geographically isolated area with resources, infrastructure, and a large population of high-brainpower people (and the ability to attract more) is a conspiracy of shared values between the Deep State, globalists, multinationals, and many other groups. It is a practical response to growing global disorder and not designed to benefit America ot Americans. There will be benefits but they will be incidental.
“However, just be careful what you ask for. If the US no longer buys from the world, the world has no need for the US currency which is where your high standard of living depends on.”
Not exactly true. US currency is needed because America has gone though a number of evolving programs since Bretton Woods, Smithsonian Agreement, Petrodollar, etc., to maintain its value. America’s currency manipulation is so elegant and subtle the world prefers it over most other currencies.
With the recent collapse of the Petrodollar and BRICS talking of an alternative currency, America is now transitioning into the next step. The dollar will be backed by America’s growing industrial mite.
This will actually make the American dollar more valuable than it has been in a long time… real value.
A big problem with America is debt. It keeps growing and it grew CrAzY under Biden. The theory is America can keep ahead of it due to economic growth and inflation. Now with interest on the debt being America’s biggest expense, something needs to be done. This means the international bankers (etc.) get money that should go to roads and healthcare.
DOGE is about the best way to start getting this under control.
And it needs to be under control.
CH, the chinabot calls me names because he doesn’t actually know the hymns I sing every Sunday call me something worse.
A Mexican woman and a metrosexual Canadien smacked Trump’s bottom.
Doctor Trudeau: Trump! Assume the position!
Matron Sheinbaum: Trump! Take your medicine!
Trump: Ooh! Matron!
@Korea Man, no need to worry too much about setnaffa’s babbling.
He’s just an unreconstructed bunker dwelling reaganist whiner.
Yep.
Trump is quite the bītch of the Mexicans and the Snow Mexicans.
Assume the position, Trump!
…and that position is WINNING.
As long as the lefties can
t tell women from men, and winning from losing, they cant really do much but gloat that Trump lost every time he wins.Pretty harmless, really.
In the Big House … Canadien Bear:
“Trump, how do you feel about taking the bottom bunk?”
…
Canadien Bear looking out the window at the Big House garden:
“Trump, you got a long road to hoe here”.
Trump:
The lefttards have a mental illness that requres them to lie to themselves if they see Trump having any sort of win.
Amazing, really.
And all the issues the little lefties scream about are things that they win if Trump wins.
The big lefties win with government money funneled to manage illegal aliens, drug abusers, welfare projects, and all sorts of programs that are designed to perpetuate problems rather than solve them.
But little lefties are better off without this national drain o fraud, waste, and abuse.
Yet they still cry about Trump.
They dont even really know why.
“Trump, you got a long road to hoe here”.
FYI: In English, and reality, you hoe a row, not a road.
“You have a long road to pave,” would be correct if you want to go on about roads for some reason.
Instead of pave, you can also say “grade” (if it is a dirt road) or “pick up trash alongside” (if you feel some need to complete a civic duty).
I prefer “You have a long road to drag a homosexual by chain.” I think that is more fitting here becasue Trump is going to put all the ghays into camps that he missed last term.
I bet you also say, “For all intensive purposes” and “I could care less.”
Two months ago the border was an open deluge of illegals pouring through. A week into Trump’s presidency there are 93 percent less. Tariffs with Canada and Mexico end in less than a day with concessions made. Everyone can claim they saved face (El Salvador is making some plans with El Salvador at the moment that sound extremely promising).
This is all “Trump losing”.
Okay.
Saw some leftist say that with all the “chaos” trump has brought in such a short time, his former supporters will start to turn against him.
And another person retorted watching what is happening is like thinking you bought a cake, then finding out you got not only a cake, but a surprise party, a new house, a new car, and a vacation in Hawaii.
That second person is right.
I had no hope government bureaucracy could ever be weaned down even a little (our biggest problem)…and I’m watching it happen in real time.
I used to think the whole Rockefeller/Soros ect thing was a conspiracy theory myth. Then I saw how the Democrats are self destructing over any scrutiny or oversight at all for USAID.
A lot of thing that seem obvious are loudly branded conspiracy theories.
Then you notice the people branding them conspiracy theories have some relationship to the conspiracy.
But their conspiracy theories are OK.
An example would be Hunter Biden’s laptop had all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation… though it is not clear how naked pictures of Hunter smoking crack is Russian or disinformation.
I was called a racist for suggesting a bat virus that could infect humans came from China just because it started 100 meters from a Chinese lab that wrote papers on how to make bat viruses infect humans. The mental gymnastics were shocking.
The fùcktards will yell conspiracy theory at anything they don’t want to agree with but the last 4+ years really opened the eyes of people who are intelligent but have been conditioned their entire lives to think all unusual claims are just a theory.
“If it were true, it would be on the news,” is no longer a statement average people are quick to make.
This is a good summary.
In other news that will delight the lefties, the skys around Mexico (and possibly IN Mexico) are suddenly teeming with American things that collect signals.
We know what this means.
Trump is going to end the cartels. The Mexican government can cooperate and look strong and effective or they can weakly whine around about their sovereignty. The end result will be the same for America and the cartels.
Trump has likely given Mexico an honorable way to show they are cooperating with America rather than being forced to watch what is going to happen anyway.
Ukraine is already managed, as 99.8% of that was just to stop paying for it. The war is over… for America.
Panama will be easy to deal with. Canada will fall in line quickly, as they always do after a bit of retard whining. Trump may or may not get Greenland, but he will drive such a wedge between it and Denmark, the results will be the same. America will have as much influence as it does on Puerto Rico and Guam. Jordan and Egypt will take the Palistinians. The EU just gets more and more retarded, but the Trump-inspired parties are gaining such ground some countries have resorted to dirty, dirty tricks to dilute their power.
Russia will get everything it wanted in this war.
The multinationals will pillage what is left of Ukraine.
I actually hate to admit how much I am enjoying watching President Trump “crumble”.
There were illegal aliens in my elementary school in the mid-to late 60s.
Trump might make that a thing of the past. And it sounds glorious.
Now that doesn’t sound like a real Christian thing to say. Didn’t Jesus command us to love your enemy and turn the other cheek?
You’re not a real Christian. Christians do not hate people due to any race, ethnicity, or nationality. If you died today, and went to face your Lord in heaven, would you be confident to stand in front of him to be judged?
Matthew 7:21-23
22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name? ‘ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.
Come on Liz. You know that’s not true. Two months ago, the border was already very under control and the number of illegals were far less than a year ago with a considerable drop off in arrivals. Trump just played you maggots, with fake news that there were a deluge of illegals pouring through when Mexico had it under control already, compared to the previous year.

Trump taking credit for something he didn’t even do.
“Now that doesn’t sound like a real Christian thing to say. Didn’t Jesus command us to love your enemy and turn the other cheek?”
I can’t say about Setnaffa, but I pray for you.
It turns out God doesn’t answer prayers.
You are still and idiot.
And you haven’t been hit by a truck.
@Liz, if this is all Trump losing right now, I can only imagine how great it is going to be when he starts winning! 😉
It’s amazing how chinabot has stopped mocking me for using the Bible and now has religion.
Worth noting that Satan knows the Bible very well, even tried quoting it to Jesus, tempting Our Lord in the Wilderness; but taking verses ut of context is sinful.
May the Lord rebuke those who do that.
In the meantime, Romans 6:23 might be useful.
I did no such thing. I have not stopped mocking you.
