last night I saw a story that South Korea was ending its security agreement with the US.

I found it deeply disturbing.

Today I see no whiff of that story.

I don’t remember the publication.

Did anyone else see that?

2. Thank you.

Oh man.

3. Removing U.S. troops would end the stalemate between S. Korea and their N.Korean/China enemy.

I don't think So. Korea wants us gone.

5. It could also end S. Korea.

6. So this thread question doesn't make much sense does it.

4. They signed what was first reported as a defense pact with China

But it was a pretty meaningless expression of the desire of both parties to peacefully oversee the development of the Western Pacific, etc etc

7. They'll likely talk Trump out of Taiwan next.

I really don't think China cares too much about Korea and simply considers them an export market and a source of cheap labor. Now Taiwan, that's a horse of a different color.
