Pull out US troops from the Korean peninsula in exchange for North Korean denuclearization

On South Korea, Trump has seriously miscalculatedCNN · by Opinion by Jonathan Cristo

Trump may believe that if the United States withdrew from South Korea, the costs associated with maintaining the servicemembers would disappear -- but that's not what would happen. They would need to be housed, fed, and supported no matter where they were redeployed, including inside the United States. In 2016 hearings before the Senate Armed Services Committee, the late Sen. John McCain asked the nominee for United States Forces Korea commander Vincent Brooks if "it would cost more to keep those troops stationed in the United States than it would be in Korea?" to which Brooks replied, "Absolutely, Senator."

Seoul and Tokyo are no doubt questioning that reliability and commitment, and they are right to do so, at least as it pertains to the White House.

Some states may find it necessary to bandwagon with China or Russia. Others will pursue their own nuclear deterrent and spark regional arms races.

 トランプが馬鹿なのは、現状で韓国に米軍置いておいたほうが、アメリカに米軍を戻すよりコストが安くつくのに、「値上げに同調しないなら、でていっちゃうぞおお」とかやっているところ。

 そうなりゃ、同盟国としては、中露につくか、核武装するかの選択肢を考えるのは当然。

 これについては日本も同じ。

 もっとも、経済的な理由ではなく、北朝鮮の非核化の quid pro quo交換条件としてなら、いいとは思うんだよね、おれとしては。米韓同盟も破棄しちゃってさ。

韓国もーー少なくとも左派はーーそれなら、納得するんじゃないの?

そのあと、何が起ころうと日米の知ったことではない。
