So he tariffed South Korea as well.
voice-verified
And this has an enormous impact on the South Korean economy.
voice-verified
And yes, he pulled back a bit from this, but there's still these pretty serious tariffs there.
voice-verified
And by the way, South Korea is really peeling the pain from this.
voice-verified
So it's no surprise at all that this is where the spike is.

And then in the war, it's during the Iran war.

Now, President Trump is asking for South Korea to essentially give us some of their destroyers to put at risk because we won't put our destroyers at risk.
voice-verified
No, no, no.
voice-verified
We just want to we're going to fight to the last South Korean destroyer.
voice-verified
So notice this is not working out very well, and the South Korean public is able to follow this.

voice-verified
So what South Korea, what you really have to worry about as time goes on,
voice-verified
is not just this short-term kerfuffle, but South Korea sees there's no more protection from Big Brother Uncle Sam.
voice-verified
And what does that mean?
voice-verified
The last time they worried about that, they went for nuclear weapons in the 1970s.
voice-verified
And it was only when we absolutely guaranteed that our ground forces would be there, etc., etc.,
voice-verified
and actually stationed in South Korea, that they turned off the nuclear program.
voice-verified
So this is not a small issue.
voice-verified
It may be a bit under the media radar right now.
voice-verified
It is.
