South Korea officially recovered four US military bases in South Korea. Is this an American compromise?

As long as the United States has troops in South Korea, it is not a problem or a compromise to recover several bases. This time, we just moved a few bases-the new base was built by the Korean government for the American government. This kind of "compromise" made South Korea earn face and the United States earned lining. Why not do it?

In fact, the relocation plan of the US military base in South Moon Jae in was reached by the leaders of Roh Moo-hyun and George W. Bush at that time. Now the government has just decided to speed up this process, so in terms of time, this does not mean that the United States has any compromise.

Note that this is a relocation base, not a real restoration. At present, the base of the US military stationed in South Korea and the Korea-US Joint Command is located in Longshan, which is a prime location in Seoul. South Korea has been dissatisfied with this for a long time. The new base for moving to the suburbs of Seoul is Pyeongtaek.

According to relevant reports, the construction cost of the Pyeongtaek base exceeds10 billion US dollars, and the commitment of the South Korean government does not exceed 9.2 billion US dollars, so it is really hard to say that this is a compromise of the United States.

Of course, for the Moon Jae in administration, the early recovery (relocation) of the base may be an expression of dissatisfaction with the United States, or it may be an attempt to do something-Moon Jae in is in a bad situation, trying to liquidate the chaebol, get rid of the control of the United States, make peace with North Korea, and make enemies everywhere, and may end up like previous South Korean presidents.

Besides, as a leftist president, Moon Jae in has a strong national pride. Recently, the United States has been playing a partial role in the dispute between Japan and South Moon Jae in, which has aroused strong dissatisfaction in South. In addition, the annual expenditure (defense fee) of the US military stationed in South Korea also makes people feel popular.

Anyway, we haven't seen the position of the United States yet, and between Japan and South Korea, the United States may really value Japan more and care less about South Korea as an ally, so we can't say there is any compromise.
