<pulling our nukes out of S. Korea isn't being polite? We gave up something and gained nothing as a result.> We gave up nothing. We can reach N. Korea with nukes from submarines, aircraft carriers, Guam. We can reach them from Alaska or the contiguous States, by missiles or planes. Withdrawing nukes from S. Korea is symbolic, not substantive. In addition, they have no way to verify that the U.S. has actually kept its word to remove the nukes from S. Korea. How many inspectors would it take, on the ground in S. Korea, to reliably verify this? Given our poor track record of keeping our word, why should they trust anything but intrusive inspections by thousands of inspectors?
