In Japan and South Korea there is deepening concern over the reliability of long-time American security guarantees – whether the U.S. will come to their aid in the event of a war. This has been turbo-charged by Donald Trump’s tough treatment of traditional U.S. allies, which has some in Tokyo and Seoul calling for a reassessment of their non-nuclear policies.

    After the UN ramble yesterday, no one should rely on Trump and the US for anything. Every country should be looking for alternatives to US guarantees.

      I didn’t watch and haven’t seen anything on it. Was it Normal 2025 Trump bad, or something extra special?

          It’s very incoherent. Either Donald has become the usual “old man yelling at the sky”, or he’s genuinely unhinged long time ago. People say Donald used to be more sane decades ago but it could’ve been an act back then. Anyway, sorry for making comparison with Hitler again but Hitler also did the same on his book Mein Kampf; a lot of it is just rambling.

            Watch the videos. There are interviews in the 80s or 90s where there is a clear train of thought and a logical progression to his statements. His phone interview after 9/11 is less coherent, but not too bad from a grammatical and logical standpoint. These days, he can’t string together 2 or 3 complete sentences about a single topic. Note that none of this is related to the truth or accuracy of his statements.
