Why South Korea Should Go Nuclear

[ThirdTerm]

I recently read this alarming article published in the Foreign Affairs magazine. There is a real possibility that South Korea actually goes nuclear in the next four years. South Korea's MAGA-style nationalism is getting out of control. Today, the biggest obstacle to South Korean nuclearization is not a domestic constituency but a foreign one: the United States. Trump has swiftly acted on the emerging threat and South Korea will be classified as a sensitive country along with China, Russia, Syria, and North Korea.

Sensitive countries are nations that require special consideration for national security, nuclear non-proliferation, regional destabilization, and support for terrorism. Researchers from countries designated as sensitive countries may face restrictions on working or participating in research at Department of Energy-related facilities and research institutes.

[Exclusive] US classifies South Korea as ‘sensitive country,’ limiting cooperation on advanced tech

This is the first time in history that South Korea has received this classification by the US government

The USS Alexandria, a nuclear-powered submarine, arrived at Busan naval base in South Korea last month, which sends a strong message that Pyongyang will be wiped off the map, if North Korea dares to use nuclear weapons against the southern neighbor. This is how the long peace was kept between Moscow and Washington during the Cold War.

South Korea does not need its own nukes. The U.S. military presence alone may deter North Korea's provocative moves. The U.S. military presence in South Korea is extensive, including at least 24,234 active-duty soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines as well as nine major bases. You never know how many American nuclear submarines are lurking in the Sea of Japan.

North Korea warns of ‘counteraction’ after US submarine docks in South

North Korea’s state-run media lashed out at the United States on Tuesday over the arrival of a fast-attack submarine in South Korea’s largest port, calling it an “undeniable threat” and an effort to escalate tensions on the peninsula.

I've been saying for years that South Korea should go nuclear. They should NOT count on the U.S. to retaliate on their behalf.
