The last time the US pulled back from South Korea, just after the Vietnam war ended, they started a nuclear programme. I suspect this is what will happen again.
Why so surprised? The orange colored traitor and child rapist hates democratic countries and loves dictatorships. It’s common knowledge across the globe. He loves Hitler, Putin, Stalin, Orban, and even that fat north korean pig. We are a shithole under this bastard and the former GOP.
