OP, you still haven't provided evidence of intelligence that Japan wants to nuke D.C.
Afterall, that IS what you claimed would happen if we left South Korea?
You must've gotten this information (or misinformation) from some source, unless it is your own little conspiracy theory.
Have you ever been to Pearl Harbor? If so, you would notice the thousands of Japanese that travel there as well. Do you think they are coming there as a sign of respect for our lost soldiers? NO....they are there because it's a memorial for their victory, for their big f*ck you america in their history books. There's no conspiracy theory behind Japan hating us...it's in the history books. You think they like us more because we dropped 2 atomic bombs on them? WTF is your problem? You're puzzled....it's simple. N.Korea and China are allies. Japan and China are allies. N. Korea takes over S. Korea and kills millions when we leave. N. Korea, Japan, China are also allies of Iran, who in-fact can cause us major problems militarily speaking.... don't be a naive and ignorant respondent....read your history before you post about misinformation. These are all very plausible scenarios if you remove our troops from our foreign locations.
your ignorance and stupidity is a shame
Japan and China Allies? what are you smoking! They hate each other more than they hate the USA. Heard of the Rape of Nanking? The constant low level tit for tat arrests between them? The fact we are there specifically to protect Japan? That we used Japan as a base from which to launch to Korea? I mean honestly you claim others are ignorant and stupid, look in the mirror if you want to try claim that Japan and China are allies!
Edit: Also a lot of the resentment for the USA in Japan today comes from the fact that US soldiers based there have regularly committed crimes such as rape on the locals.edit on 23-1-2012 by bonnieprince because: Adding info
My apologies, I said Japan and China as allies and I meant Russia and China. and I 100% believe Japan would strike us if given an opportunity, simply out of retaliation. I don't trust our partnership
and you are sitting there telling me that china and japan and korea would not be allies against the united states?

Another thing that doesn't make sense is our military is so much more advanced and powerful than other country's
military's how will closing down bases make our military advantage disappear?
If country's do not have the military means to attack us now how does closing down bases change that fact? They still will not have the military might to go up against us!!!
So your saying if we remove our bases, magically overnight all our enemies will have ICBMs, advanced Aircraft carriers and destroyers and F-22 Raptor equivalent fighters?
To think the USA is the big dog on the block you pit-bulls sure are scared of the Chihuahuas
Just makes no sense.
Not at all...the thought of minding our own business and allowing other countries to mind their own business would be a great plan if the other countries would do it. we know they won't. do you want to take a chance for the next 4 years of minding your own business and allowing our enemies to operate without interference from the US? I don't

Your absolutely right Newt will definitely turn the country around. Not. He didn't do anything to help the US before at least not in a good way and he definitely isn't going to do it now. Post human believer, writes the forward to Alvin and Heidi Toffler books. Can't make up mind about anything without waiting for a paycheck. Sell out his country, sell out his business, sell out his family. Sell out his own soul if he ever had one. As much as I can't stand the idea of 4 more years of Obama I will vote for him before I would sleep at night voting for Newt.

Regardless you are saying NK will not attack SK because of our troops at the border. Im asking you if America warns NK that they are leaving the border but any attack on SK would be considered a attack on the USA and we will mobilize within 24 hours of attack and deal with them whats the difference?

We have satellites that can read the year of a penny on the ground from space. we do not need to have bases all over the would to keep track of what other countrys are doing.
If we see a legitimate threat we take care of it. We can mobilize and take care of any threat before it could come to fruition.

China successfully carried out its first test of an antisatellite weapon last week, signaling its resolve to play a major role in military space activities and bringing expressions of concern from Washington and other capitals, the Bush administration said yesterday.

So you're essentially admitting that the only reason we are safe is because we are policing the world and the second we turn our backs, the rest of the world will form alliances against us.
When you were writing that up, did you have no idea that you were arguing FOR us and not against us?
If you're afraid that our actions around the world would turn the entire globe against us, it sure says a lot about what kind of insane crap we're trying to pull...doesn't it?

Nope.... But I am tired of blind idiots like yourself. Not even worth reading this thread, you obviously have no idea what you are talking about.

Lets get of the NK/SK thing for a moment.
Do you believe Israel has the military might to deal with Iran by themselfs?

In case you didn't read all that was written, I didn't say that I hated RP, I said I do NOT agree with his foreign policies and what I believe it can lead to. We have troops in foreign countries for a reason. Previous post-war agreements mostly but none-the-less, we are there and we do provide allies with our presence and knowing if we are attacked while on their land, it's an act of war against US. That's why we put small contingencies of troops there. For instance in SK, our troops would do nothing against NK. But if they attacked and killed our soldiers, that's an act of war DIRECTLY against the US.
I do NOT disagree that the world is f*cked up guys...I do NOT disagree that we as a country don't follow f*cked up policies and f*cked up hidden agendas... be that as it may, we are where we are right now and it has to be corrected. MY opinion against RP strictly sits with his outlook on foreign policy. I do not believe it's the right time for his golden rule. I believe it's too late for something like this to take place. Maybe 20 years from now....not this November. I believe nothing but chaos and death will evolve from turning our backs on our foreign allies by removing our presence. That's essentially what we will be doing, turning our backs and saying go ahead and take care of yourself...you've leached off us for far too long. It has to be a slow process or it fails...the golden rule will not work at this point in our history
