The ROK and Japan must both factor in the possibility of America not coming to their aid in a similar fashion.

That wasn't a super realistic consideration until a few weeks ago.




ROK and Japan have formal legal treaties. Ukraine does not.

This hasn't stopped ROK from thinking the Biden Administration wouldn't come to its aid if push came to shove.

I see your point but the effect is going to be much, much less "discrete" and more "diffuse" if at all.

I'll buy you a beer if ROK or Japan have a nuke in 10 years.
