The Americans and Japanese have decided that US bases must remained in Korea

What was the main reason for the stationing of American troops in South Korea? No prizes for correct answer. There was a war between North and South Korea. Though there is a truce, technically both sides are still at war and American troops are needed because the useless South Koreans could not defend themselves against the North Koreans. So they needed the Americans to back them up just in case they got they got themselves chased all the way to Pusan again. Never believe that the South Koreans could defend themselves against the North. If they could, then there will be no need for the American presence.
 
With the changing of time and leadership, the North Koreans are willing to talk about peace and peaceful reunification of the two Koreas. If they do and agree to peace and both Koreans establish friendly relations and taking steps to reunify the two people, why is there a need to have the continuing presence of American bases in the Korean Peninsula?
 
The Japanese are hyping about the threats of China and Russia when in reality it was the Japanese that invaded China and Russia in the Second World War. The threat to peace in north east Asia is from the Japanese, not China or Russia. The Japanese have a lot of reasons to want the American troops to remain in Korea. If the Americans were to move out, the only American colony left in Asia would be Japan. As a proud people, they would not want to be seen as the only country that is still colonized by the Americans. They would want the Koreans to be dragged into the same sorry state of affair.
 
Also, militarily, if there is a conflict between the US and China or Russia, the first military targets would be the American bases in Korea instead of Japan. When all the American bases are in Japan, Japan would be the first to be hit while the Koreas would be safe from any attacks and becoming a war zone.
 
As for the Americans, the bases are there as part of the American Empire, to contain China and Russia and also to keep Korea as a colony. And this is exactly the reason why they are deciding that the bases must stay without having to consult the Koreans. To the Americans, the Koreans are just subjects of the American Empire and the Americans are the overlord that decides what and where they want to put their military bases. A colony has no right to object, no speaking right on such matters.
 
Both the Americans and Japanese would like the Koreans to continue to be an American colony and the first line of defence of the American Empire. Sorry Koreans, even if you are united as a single Korea, you will still remain as an American colony and the American troops would be there to take charge and control of your country.
