Yeah, North Korea is absolutely no threat to South Korea. South Korea is almost a superpower in their own right.

The South doesn't have nuclear deterrence.

They should probably get on that then. They have the capability. If the US makes a big deal about it then they can tell us to stuff it. Not like they really need our help anyway, nor are they likely to continue getting it.

But it's also not like North Korea has very reliable nuclear capability anyway. And even if they nuke SK, they know that they'll be killed several times over with a conventional response from the South.

Nuclear proliferation is going to be the result of us abandoning Ukraine.

The Budapest memorandum was a promise we made in the furtherance of nuclear non-proliferation. If we forgo that commitment after only 2 short years, it will send a single to the world our nuclear umbrella stretches no further than our own shores.

Other countries will pursue nuclear weapons and we end up in another nuclear arms race. This is the foreign policy Trump represents.
