38 Koreans are laughing about the fact that Sanseito (which is advertised as the Japanese "far right") wants to remove American troops from Japan while the "far right' in Korea want to keep American troops in South Korea (media.kotakuinaction2.win) posted 335 days ago by Telia 335 days ago by Telia +38 / -0 21 comments download share 21 comments share download save hide report block hide replies
It's the classic freedom versus security question.
Japan has the luxury to pursue independence, so is willing to give up some "security"...which is largely just chains and regulations.
South Korea is in a more precarious situation, and so values the security more than the freedom.
Simply put, South Korea benefits more from American bases than Japan does.
