Completely ignorant.

Like North Korea threatens us and not Japan. For the world to take this little scumbag down once and for all they will need the complete cooperation of the USA. Don't ever forget it. Any lives we lose in the matter will really be in defense of those in the region and not us. So you have it exactly backwards AND upside down, and that is exactly what Donald Trump realizes.

Not that we aren't going to be strong, but we aren't going to pretend that we need THEIR cooperation, when the truth is that they need OUR cooperation. Or that we need THEIR good graces to station our troops there, when the truth is that they need OUR good graces to station our troops there.

This kind of backward upside-downedness has been going on all my life. We really are stupid.

You'll need to Google it quickly to catch up to speed to mask your apparent ignorance about this whole issue because you are obviously ignorant about such critical elements and facts as the US-Japan Treaty of Mutual Defense, (do you think he can unilaterally abrogate it!?) the amount of Japan contribution to the stationing of troops there through omoiyari yosan contributions, the large amount of US nationals and business interests in Japan directly and closely threatened by DPRK?, our listening posts we have in forward bases on Japan to protect our assets all throughout the Pacific and now on the US West Coast? Do you any understanding of these?
