Well, South Korea (thankfully) doesn&#x27;t have nukes, but we have lots of US military bases and they can easily have nukes.<p>Honestly, I don&#x27;t see what difference a missile defense would make to SK, when North Korea can set Seoul in fire with artillery.<p>At least I understand that having a missile defense system right in front of China will help the US in its geopolitical game against China.  What I don&#x27;t understand is why our politicians think it&#x27;s a good idea to act as a conspicuous pawn in this game.
