Biden’s Election Win Could Mean A Quick End to Cost Sharing Issue with the ROK
The Biden administration has vowed to strengthen alliances with America’s allies and one way to do that with South Korea is quickly sign a cost sharing agreement:
The election of U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden would mean a stronger alliance with South Korea and other allies, but tensions with North Korea could escalate because Pyongyang could try to test his administration, experts said Saturday.
“I think if Biden is elected, most American allies, including South Korea, will breathe a sigh of relief. He is likely to work much harder to strengthen our alliances,” said Gregg Brazinsky, professor of history and international affairs at George Washington University.
One of Biden’s key foreign policy advisers, Brian McKeon, said the Democratic candidate would immediately seek to repair the country’s alliances and reaffirm the United States’ commitment to improving its relations with its allies.
“(Biden) frequently says when he takes office, he will immediately get on the phone with some of our key allies in Europe and Asia, and centrally say, ‘America is back, and we have your back’,” McKeon said in a recent interview with Yonhap News Agency. (………..)
Brazinsky noted a Biden administration would likely treat U.S. allies with more respect.
“The U.S. will have severe economic difficulties due to the (COVID-19) pandemic, and it is possible that even under Biden, the U.S. will need South Korea to share more of the costs of maintaining American troops,” he told Yonhap.
“But I think if this is the case, Biden will attempt to negotiate this change in a manner that treats South Korea with the appropriate respect,” he added. (………………)
Harry Kazianis, senior director of Korean studies at the Washington-based Institute for the National Interest, said that Biden would likely seek to quickly conclude the negotiations and at a much lower rate of increase.
“I would argue that a Biden Administration would quickly sign a new SMA with Seoul within the first 100 days of taking office, as Biden will not want to drag on talks any longer and likely ask for a 3-5 percent increase per year for a multiyear period,” he said.
Yonhap
You can read more at the link, but I think Seoul would be willing to give the Biden administration a small increase because it would allow Biden to say he got the ROK to pay more when Trump could not.
With 8 critical states not finished counting or in recounts and DoJ investigations into vote tampering and voter fraud, it’s too early to call it for Joey Fingers. In fact, with the vote tampering in PA being whT it is, SCOTUS will likely become involved.
And allowing corporations to determine the winners of our elections is blatantly unconstitutional. In fact, it’s liable to cause a lot more trouble than they anticipated.
So Yonhap can, with a due respect, FOADIAF. Along with FOX and XiNN.
Lying Joe Biden isn’t anything except a pedo-criminal right now.
What happened to taking up arms to fight for Trump? When’s the shooting going to happen?
Baijing Boy, the majority of the Armed Right is not composed of entitled basement dwelling incels quick to conceal their social impotence with violence.
At this time, there is no reason for shooting.
There appears to be an investigation and there are outstanding court cases that need to work their way to completion.
It is correct to give the system a chance.
If the process is transparent and procedurally correct yet Biden wins, there will be hurt feelings but no shooting. Everyone will simply spend 4 years rallying around TNN… the Trump News Network.
But if the process is opaque and procedures are abnormal, as has happened in everything from Hillary’s server to Weiner’s laptop to this election so far, there may be some shooting.
After watching neighborhoods burn because a career criminal attacked police with a deadly weapon, or whatever, a little bit of shooting to insure honesty in government seems like a mild act.
Commie Moon got a big break here. Trump was only asking for the true costs of USFK.
CH, to be fair, our chinabot trolls all post like incels, so they may not know any actual women outside their family.
And their limited exposure to actual sports (as opposed to playing minecraft and watching kpop) might explain their impotent “gun” fantasies.
I would offer suggestions aimed at improving their vocabulary and social interaction capabilities; but Songtan Sally may have already retired.
Perhaps you and/or Smokes could take them under your wing, as it were. They seem to need need expert assistance.
Calling Biden a pedophile (like Chickenhead loves to do here to those who disagree with his nonsense) is defamatory. That accusation against Biden has been debunked by reputable sources.
OMG! Biden was defamed? By me?
Let me get my fainting couch!
Next, he might get accused of Russian collusion for a few years.
But it is hard to argue with Reputable Sources! After all, they are not just sources, they are reputable.
I wonder if those Reputable Sources saw him pinch that 8 year-old’s nipple.
I wonder if I did that on TV… hmm… would those Reputable Sources have my back as well?
Say, johnhenry, you don’t happen to have any young daughters, do you? I’d like to give the the old Uncle Joe treatment. You’d be cool with that, right?
What kind of shampoo do they use?
Please say baby shampoo.
You are a sick and perverted person.
johnhenry, are you a licensed psychiatrist or psychologist?
Or are you just presenting a layman’s opinion?
And what are your thoughts on videos from major news organizations over the last 12+ years showing Joe Biden touching and sniffing women other than his wife, and children other than his own?
Asking for a friend…
Johnhenry, as a man, what would you do to another man who touched your tween daughter like repeated videos show Biden touching young girls?
Nothing, it seems. You just can’t get enough of creepy old Biden.
It seems it is YOU who is the sick and perverted person.
You cannot even stand up for a helpless girl… instead, supporting the predator who gets fulfillment through lecherous touch and lustful sniff.
Why… you are not even a man.
This is why your wife cucks you.
Finally, an adult in the white house. Thank goodness.
Trump is still in the White House, so it seems paintchip is a MAGA-man now…
“Finally, an adult in the white house. Thank goodness.”
Good grief! It has been almost 4 years and you just noticed?
CH, some of our fellow-travelers aren’t really quick on the uptake…
Not only cost sharing, lying joe biden will also give Koreans opcon transfer despite none of the agreed to capabilty conditions being met.
