U.S. vs North Korea: South Korea rejects Trump $1b Missile defense bill!

[cybersofts]

South Korea Rejects Trump’s $1B THAAD Demand.

The South Korean government has quickly refuted U.S. President Donald Trump’s call for Seoul to pay $1 billion for the THAAD missile defense system.

The Defense Ministry put out a statement Friday saying, “There is no change in South Korea and the United States’ position that our government provides the land and supporting facilities and the U.S. bears the cost of THAAD system’s deployment, operation and maintenance.”

The deployment of the U.S. Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile battery was agreed to last year by the administrations of then U.S. President Barack Obama and then South Korean President Park Geun-hye. Park was able to evade demands that she seek National Assembly approval for the deal by claiming no additional funding would be required for the THAAD deployment.

Actually, the South Koreans must hand over a $100 billion bill to Trump, for the additional expenses caused as a result of the recent provocations along the North Korean border. And perhaps they should seriously consider expelling the American soldiers from South Korea.

So what? S. Korea doesn't have to join the US is some missile defense system. The US can establish a missile defense system on the shores of the US to protect from their land. The US needs to lose the world police brand...offering to help stabilize the world is wonderful, but they shouldn't expect every other Nation to want the help.

All issues with N/S Korea stem from NK trying to take over SK in 1952. The US helped in that issue of naked aggression and has had a presence in SK ever since. Otherwise NK would go at it again. Ignoring these realities is pretty stupid.

Meanwhile it's fine for Trump to ask SK to pay their fair share of the costs. How much is that and what are the consequences of not making a deal?

I am sorry but your wrong..

If the army is for hire then our soldiers are putting there lives in danger for profit .
Do the soldiers profit?..No the weapon makers..

So if we are for hire then why not just cause a war to make money..

So our sons and daughters get threw on the front line to fight and die to line some greedy so and so pockets?..

So our sons die for

The starting salary for a U.S. Army soldier with the pay grade of E-1 was $1,491 per month as of the 2012 fiscal year, according to ArmyTimes.com. A soldier with the pay grade of E-4 with more than four years in the service received $2,266.50 per month.


So basically you will loose your life for 1491 dollars a month ..MAN YOUR LIFE IS CHEAP..
And then after 4 years service you get 2266 dollars..

So a soldier swings his guns and can get killed for 1491 dollars a month.
I swing my trowel and don't get killed and i get 3200 pounds a month..

Now if your for hire our sons and daughters will die for 2k a month.. WOW .

And TRUMP and his 2 sons who love hunting so much get how much for killing our sons and daughters .
Millions and millions trump and his crew will make..

Plus i don't see trump 2 sons on the front line do you..

The army cannot be for hire..It's not about PROFITS..
War should cost us so we think never again..But for hire and making money we will always have war..

But it's ok TRUMP wont put his 2 sons anywhere near the front line of war..

Trump will do the same as his father done for him..

Reminder: Donald Trump is a cowardly draft dodger - Death and Taxes
www.deathandtaxesmag.com/271429/donald-trump-draft-dodger/
24 Nov 2015 - While the Vietnam War that would claim the lives of some 58,000 of his ... Instead of fighting for his country, Trump went on to build his personal fortune. ... Building on his tycoon father Fred Trump's real estate success — he ..... Why don't you quit the griping and have a nice warm glass of milk and a cookie.


So to a soldier keep swinging your guns and die while i swing my trowel and live and get 2 times more pay...

War should never be for hire..Because we will keep having it to make money..
BUT our sons and daughters die for PEANUTS while lining the SHIT HOUSE POLITICIANS POCKETS..

S KOREA ..Say you will pay then DON'T PAY A PENNY..You owe nothing..
N korea is a danger to us ALL ..

We are not for hire..

Pull out then and bring all the ships back home..Let him get NUKES..
Because South KOREA you pay nothing and build your own NUKES ..Defend yourself then..
And wont need to hire an army..

Japan Build NUKES so you can defend yourselves .

Everyone build nukes and we can all defend ourselves..
No hiring armies then   to kill our own to line a politicians pockets..

But the chances of nuke war as gone up many many fold..
So enjoy life we all might be dead soon ..

Army for hire what a joke..
Go and die for 1400 dollars a month ..< IDIOTS

This will never happen. South Korea will not pay Trump $ 1 billion for the placement of its territory THAAD. The Americans not only defend South Korea and Japan. They are in their territory protect the interests and security of America. Trump you idiot! Whatever it was, the aircraft Carrier "Carl Vinson" has entered the sea of Japan.

If the South Koreans and the Japanese doesn't want the American protection, then why are you so adamant on placing the US troops there? Japan has been under the US occupation ever since 1945. Perhaps the time has come to restore the sovereignty of that nation.

No way, as you suggested the South Koreans must have to buy the "Trump Device" as the whole know the U.S. Troops are the one behind South Koreans military forces. So, no U.S Troops no south Korea, they have to consider Trump proposal whether they like it or not

These morons, first buy $3B worth of bitcoin and then send some ninjas to China to blackmail and force Wu to signal for SW and then wait at least 1 month to have more than $4B. I just solved their money problems or you know Trump could covertly print $10 trillion dollars then starts going around the world in every and each country and buys up as much as any useful and rare resources and sends them to US and start developing and advancing in order to make America great once more and again
Who could stop him? in an open sourced and decentralized project such as bitcoin, antpool were mining with 20% extra advantage over others and it took 2 years or maybe even more for us to find out about it.
Imagine a powerful country such as US controlling half the world's monetary system, the possibilities are endless.

But if all those dollars begin to return to America, you are sure that the American economy would survive? Why ravaged the country assets? Just to pay off debt. It's not worth it.

Yeah this isn't dumb at all man, I don't think the South Koreans get it that if the US took the what is it 15,000 troops off the DMZ zone and let NK go ham they'd probably do some good damage against them without United States (+US Allies) support. We (UNITED STATES) has a lot of leverage against the South Koreans if they really want to get what they want, and I suppose they'd use the leverage under the right circumstances.

Forget what people say, Trump isn't a dumb man and is following what the top brass of the military which is advising him on what to do at the moment. So, I think he should be set and fine on foreign affairs.

There is operational security in knowing that allies, and the strategic geographic bases they inhabit, stay secure. If we allow areas of interest to degrade, when they become of tactical importance, we would have to fix them first. I'm all for them being sovereign, but global security is not any one nation's  job, ESP in the case of a rogue actor like this. Also, in this time of heightened nuclear tensions, it's kinda asshole to ask someone to pay for something that is so vital to the security of the entire world. Nationalism is only cool until your country needs help. Then the borders come rdown as fast as they went up.


And SK, like Mexico, is not going to pay. Like always, the tax payers will pay.

You should be thankful to the Americans for saving your stupid asses from the north. It doesn't matter what you think or want. The second the US leaves south korea the north will invade again. After all your two countries are still technically at war.

If it wasn't for the Americans you would be eating tree bark and grass right now instead of spewing incoherent nonsense on this forum.

I certainly accept the idea that some Koreans think that if South Korea will not be a missile defense system that Kim will not attack, but it is one and not the fact that they don't work for Kim. On the forum a lot of Russian bots and that they can write to embroil Americans and Koreans.

I think SK can defend themselves, NK military will desert as soon as they cross the border, just waiting to get out of the hellhole LOL 

But SK obviously has got a death wish if they reject those missiles, given that the enemy got nukes??!! But maybe they have their own rockets? Or alliance with Klingons?

A billion is not really that much, modern defence systems cost 10-100 million per missile....

I can see that you don't have to be an EU politician to be an idiot.  They also refuse to pay the US, have a crappy military themselves (all money paid to criminal illegal """"refugees"""") and now, they even rekt the UK, the only European country with serious nukes.

THE BRITISH ARMY IS NOT FOR HIRE..If i have to loose 1 pounds a week out my wages or paying a bit more on food to help SOUTH KOREA and JAPAN ..And anyone else who is seeking help for freedom i am

BUT WE ARE NOT FOR HIRE..NO WAY..It's the law..
So many reason why we are not for hire just use your head to think why..

Your to slow in your actions SAUDI ..You must feel for your peoples.The only way..
But you are trying i will give you THAT..
So maybe you get there..

Actually it is good for the south Korean to have THAAD defense system. It is because of the threat of North korea that they have a massive nuclear and ballistic missile. And you know kim Jung un the president of north korea is so crazy in nuclear activities. So it is so dangerous in North Korea. But I am not for the pay of 1 billion $ of THAAD because south Korea is allied of US.

I think that North Korea is having problems with the THAAD mostly because it is an American system. For example, if they purchase the S-400 systems from Russia, then the response from the DPRK will be more muted.

I very much doubt that after the bombing, the American base in Syria, which was guarded by systems S-400 there are not many willing to buy them. I hope that THAAD will be more effective. Any mistake can be expensive.

If the price will suit then the buyers will definitely be found. Never need to underestimate the enemy, who at the last moment have unexpected advantages.
