Washington says it would defend the South against North Korea with nuclear arms, if need be. But more and more people in the South think it should rely on itself.

Etelä-Koreassa kansa vaatii ydinaseita, valtio ei vielä. Tämä on kuplinut jo kauan, myös Taiwanissa. Yhdysvallat kun troppasivat molempien omat ydinasesuunnitelmat 70 luvulla.
70% kansasta, aika paljon:
Other surveys have found as many as 70 percent of all South Koreans supporting an independent nuclear arsenal. It has become increasingly common for conservative politicians and private and government analysts to support or discuss the idea, especially after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine highlighted the extent to which a nuclear-armed power could get away with invading a nonnuclear neighbor.
Yhdysvaltoja ei voida nähdä enää luotettavana kumppanina, kun Trump ja muut isolationistit eivät julkisesti puhu Etelä-Korean puolustamisesta.
