So long as South Korea is an American military outpost the North will feel threatened and peace will be impossible. I would love to see it but it would require serious material changes on the part of South Korea.

Edit: i may have got my wish lmao

As long as China tries to bully its neighbours, South Korea will never give up the security of America. I would love to see it happen, but it would require serious political changes on the part of China.

China hasn't invaded anyone in like ~~70~~ 47 years. South Korea doesn't need thousands of US military personnel and arms to protect itself from China. Trade protectionism does not require this

Vietnam was less than 70 years ago. Kind of nitpicky, but that's just not true.

I was referring to vietnam but admittedly my sense of time is not very good and I just threw a number out there that felt right
