Would South Korea survive a Trump presidency?

There seems to be this notion among some liberals and conservatives alike that America’s allies would simply crumble in the face of enemy attack if America weren’t there to do the defending.

Say what? Are you under the impression that there are artillery pieces with a minimum range of 20 miles? That’s more like the maximum range of most howitzers. I don’t think minimum range is an issue unless you’re talking less than a few miles, or if you’re firing one of these. (The M777 howitzer has a min. range of about 2 miles, for reference.)

Huh?

Yes. Because China would probably back NK in a war.

I’ve lived in China pretty recently, and live in South Korea currently. Kim Jong-Un is the punchline to a joke in both countries.

I’m not sure if South Korea’s constitution allows for a naturalized citizen to be president, but if it does, I say, let’s take a chance on it!

North Korea’s constitution could be easily changed … The Donald would gain important experience there in four years … maybe he comes back in 2020 and wins the US Presidency then …
