South Korea and Japan need to have their views taken into serious account if this now inevitable withdrawal is to succeed. By contrast, unilaterally announcing the withdrawal - and then unilaterally implementing it - may harm the very purpose that the remaining US troops in Asia are intended to serve: assuring deterrence, stability, and nonproliferation in Korea and Asia.
如果这次现在看来无可避免的撤军想获得成功，就要认真考虑韩国和日本的需求。恰恰相反，单方面宣布撤军后再单方面执行，可能会损害留亚美军的根本使命：那就是确保朝鲜和整个亚洲地区的威慑力、稳定及核不扩散。
