No, but I don't have an agreement to mutually defend my neighbors. If I did I would honor it until my neighbor said it was no longer needed or desired. The SK,s have been good allies and friends. We either stand by and for something or we don't and our word becomes no good. Just my opinion, though I admit as a nation with our back and forth politics, our word is questionable already.
“No, but I don’t have an agreement to mutually defend my neighbors.”
I didn’t ask if you have an agreement; I asked do you? I could care less why you do.
Why do we have such an agreement and for how long is that agreement, forever?
I am tired of my tax monies defending another nation when they can defend themselves. Why doesn’t Korea defend the USA?
If it is proper for the USA to defend everyone else, then everyone else can defend the USA. Simple transitive property of logic: If A=B and B=C then A=C, meaning if two nations can defend themselves then neither needs to defend the other.
The logical conclusion is that the USA shouldn’t be defending any other nation capable of defending themselves, such as Korea.
