You are wrong Wharf. Read these two paragraphs. Read the first sentence!!! Where are you getting all this misinformation?

The Buzz Obama's South China Sea Strategy Is Working

koan: " our allies in the south seas are being attacked (intimidated) by both China and Russia."

Wharf:" No, they aren't.

<,The Obama administration may have been caught on its back foot by China’s rapid island building in the South China Sea over the last few years, but despite its lackluster policy response, its preference for multilateralism over containment may be achieving success. Fortunately for Washington, its allies and partners in the region have come together to confront Beijing’s deeper, more assertive expansion in the South China Sea. Washington’s hub-and-spokes security architecture in Asia now appears to be coalescing at the eleventh hour, as Pacific nations warily await a ruling from the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), widely expected to rule against Beijing’s claims.
The region’s emerging security cooperation—primarily partnerships between middle powers such as the Philippines and Vietnam, but increasingly spearheaded by Japan’s reformist Abe administration—has materialized despite the lack of coherent strategy from Washington. To wit, smaller countries are coming together based on common self-interest, in the absence of coordinated U.S. leadership. This new Asian multilateralism may be more durable in the long run because it is not simply part and parcel of the U.S. rebalance, but rather an organic reaction deeply rooted in middle powers’ strategic interests.

"I think of it in terms of their lives." That's your problem, not the US's. As for the rest of us, if China took over the Korean Peninsula, trade with China would rise by just about the same amount that trade with SK would decrease. Our troops in Korea would be stationed in Japan, if the Japanese permit that. " our allies in the south seas are being attacked (intimidated) by both China and Russia." No, they aren't.

It has nothing to do with my problem. It has to do with empathy for other people.

Who gives a shit about the trade for Christs sake-lol!!!???

And what would happen to the Korean people if China took over the Korean Peninsula?

Christ Wharf, where is your compassion??
