Topic: America and Korea

AikiRooster · July 17th, 2008

I think the USA and South Korea need each other for more than just that as well.
As for Russia not putting forth much effort for Korea in the earlier 1900's, I don't think they wanted another butt whoopin like they had received from Japan in the early 1900's. Hopefully your right and it is only the lefties that feel that as we have plenty of those as well unfortunately.
I am not sure I would say America mistakes Japan as a reliable ally, after all, they are still only allowed a defense force.

My entire adult life, I have thought and still do that China is an under cover enemy. I also think they are a Super Power that no one wants to admit to. I've always been laughed at for that but something tells me that even if I am wrong, I am not far from being correct on the concern. Many Korean hate the Japanese for what they did to them through history, my understanding is Korea has had many problems uniting it's people to deal with Japan whereas Japan had no problems with that. It seems China has taken over the reputation in the Far East of what used to belong to Feudal era Japan in many ways.
