Trump reportedly wants to reduce number of US troops in South Korea

1. I'm not fan of Trump, but...

...we're spending trillions of dollars that we don't have to fund occupation around the globe. And it makes absolutely no sense to make Americans a target over there. Which is the reality of placing troops there. We're just making them targets. We're five thousand miles away from there, they can't touch us.

Alternatively, the question should arise as to what South Korea and Japan do for us in return for guaranteeing their safety. Those alliances are fiction at best.
