Good points Pen! One way to possibly counter any attack on Japan or Korea will be to have them join NATO. I know they aren't in the North Atlantic but an alliance with them would be benficial......an attack on one is an attack on all. Taiwan is much trickier. We couldn't even ask them to join.....that alone could trigger a war. But knowing that our carriers and subs love to take in the sights in that area may be a good enough detterent.
