Yes, I'm well aware of the treaties with Japan and Taiwan, but if they suspect that they are in danger of a nuclear attack, I doubt they are going to want to be solely dependent on the US -- especially if they believe, as you seem to, that the US appears weak and ineffectual.

I haven't seen any real Defense cuts yet -- only a reallocation of funding from programs that are out of control and into programs that support US war plans. I can personally assure you that the AF does not need both the F-22 and the Joint Stike Fighter. A lot of Defense programs are way over budget and way out of schedule and I for one, was happy to see that Obama is cracking down. As long as US Defense contractors have a lions share of the defense market, I don't think anyone is perceiving the US can't defend itself.

I'll take the NK situation as other than saber rattling when I see the US diverting additional troops to South Korea.

BTW, NK leader is somewhat out of the norm for an Asian leader. That part of the world still rests on saving face and politeness. They would be the last countries to think it odd that the US president bowed to the Saudi King. Beating on their chests is considered bad form in Asia.
