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.
Well the US did promise to come to Ukraine’s aid if they gave up their nukes…and here we are.
If Trump had still been president in 2022, I highly doubt we would have come to Ukraine’s aid in any substantial way.
