It's about time that an American president demanded that our "friends" pay a bigger share of their own defense.
Our "friends" in Asia and Europe have been taking advantage of us long enough.
During the campaign, Mr. Trump said that he wanted to do what was best for our country, not necessarily for other countries.
People are shocked and absolutely deranged that he is actually trying to keep his promises!
I hope that he plays hardball with our Korean "friends."
Most Koreans and Many Japanese (the entire island of Okinawa) would love to see the US Military get out...Not needed or wanted.....That's what our "friends" think

Here is one vote to give them what they want. Why have 28K of our kids in harms way in Korea. Same with Japan. At the same time we could pull the Pacific fleet back to Hawaii.
Ironically if Trump did this you,CNN and MSNBC would scream he is an isolationist.
Which would be an acknowledgement of reality.

Not necessarily...If he conducted it in an open coordinated process...I know the locals in Japan and South Korea would approve...Ultimately their opinion is what matters most
So we are in agreement. Give both governments a year notice then leave. Gives the military to time to close things down properly.
We should poll other countries in the world. For example if the people of Germany are tired of occupation I would be in favor of leaving there as well along with most of NATO countries.
No it would be giving the people of those nations what they want. If Canada wants to send a fleet to protect shipping lanes in the Pacific have at it.

Many countries see the US as either an hegemony or even an occupying force. No point debating it on here though because a good chunk of American posters still believe the " Team America World Police" narrative.

Up until the minute the next door neighbor starts eyeing their turf and then the hysterical screeching for the Americans to come to the rescue kicks in.
Everyone is holding their breath...
Why, exactly should we abandon a long time ally and friend--- one who lost plenty of troops fighting in America's wars over the years?
And how exactly do you "know" this?
So be honest, plain and painfully specific here, Cur...Which would be an acknowledgement of reality.

Are you for "the United States of America" to be out there at our own expense, blood and treasure, in "the name of capitalist freedom" as you put it in another thread denigrating the nation that protects your Canadian butts, as well as defending the rest of the free world...
Or not? Cannot have it both ways, bro.
If they want us out we need to listen.
Having traveled to Korea numerous times , most Koreans under 40 do not want the US Military on their soil.....Most Japanese the same, Okinawan's have protested for years against the US bases there...Time to bring them home
