In Japan and South Korea there is deepening concern over the reliability of long-time American security guarantees – whether the U.S. will come to their aid in the event of a war. This has been turbo-charged by Donald Trump’s tough treatment of traditional U.S. allies, which has some in Tokyo and Seoul calling for a reassessment of their non-nuclear policies.

    As an American, I don’t trust Trump to come to America’s aid. I’d be sweeting bullets if I was Korea and Japan.

      Well the US did promise to come to Ukraine’s aid if they gave up their nukes…and here we are.
