Building nuclear weapons could be South Korea's "plan B" in an increasingly "unpredictable" security landscape, Seoul's top diplomat told the country's legislature Wednesday.

The remarks from Foriegn Minister Cho Tae-yul signal that the U.S. ally could back away from its Seoul's recent Biden-eracommitment not to develop nuclear weapons.

I wonder if China thinks Trump was a good investment still?

I don't think China explicitly wanted Trump, unlike Russia. China just wanted to sow disarray in the US.

Well they sowed disarray during a time that was only favourable to Trump. Not like they could expect a different outcome.

True. I don't think though that they realize that the orange toddler will not act rationally in regards to them. If Putin orders it he will go after them.

To be fair, Trump seems to be harsher on western allies than China.
