You would actually have to put US bases there. Tripwire—just like in South Korea.
I honestly can’t imagine Obama responding to any military provocation against us or even allowing us to be in any defensive scenario that might result in the use of force. Such a posture simply does not fit his distorted, utopian world view. He’s simply incapable of “pushing” the buttons necessary to protect us.
There is really no reason for any country to fear him. We are sitting ducks IMO. I sincerely hope I’m wrong about this and would welcome comments to the contrary.
