USA has 50,000 soldiers in Japan and 24,000 in South Korea. If USA tells these two nations, who have a complex history, to do as they are told... they will do as they are told. China is the most important trading partner for both so it would be much better to remain peaceful, even neutral, with China and cultivate economic ties. USA is more or less seen as an imperialist bully trying to contain China militarily. I would say that currently the biggest threat to world peace is the American strategy against China. Clearly USA is putting together an alliance that will trigger all the remaining US allies against China if and when a war breaks out. Europe, Canada, Australia, South Korea, Japan and maybe Singapore will be sucked in. Rest of the world thinks USA is basically a threat, which it increasingly is. Ian should sometime do a video on how US is militarizing Australia and edging them closer to a nuclear weapon base. I am willing to bet good money that even among the democratic allies, you are going to see a movement away from USA, because being dominated by USA is becoming such a liability.
