Around the time of our invasion of Iraq the South Korean President of Korea criticized the Bush administration’s fixation with Iraq. A day or so later Rumsfeld announced that the U.S. would withdraw from South Korea in the coming years. Their stock market went into a downward spiral and they quickly recanted their criticisms. The U.S. has done a lot of good and a lot of bad. An Australian once said to me, “If someone is going to rule the world you could do a lot worse than having it be the U.S.” One of the few things I liked about Trump was his statements that our allies need to spend more on defense. We should not shoulder the burden alone. https://thediplomat.com/2015/06/evolution-of-the-u-s-rok-alliance-abandonment-fears/ https://thediplomat.com/2015/06/evolution-of-the-u-s-rok-all...
