Blackwell, in reality, South Korea has two electorates of about equal size. The “progressives” are the ones you write about. The other is fanatically pro-American. And, fortunately, public opinion is going our way.

Another point: There is no holding Japan in an alliance if we walk out of South Korea. Japan becomes essentially indefensible once we lose South Korea and Taiwan. Look at a map.
