I have recently seen a map being posted of South Korea with the claim that a NATO base is located in the country. That is NOT true.

The United States has military bases in South Korea to defend the country primarily against North Korea. If anyone disagrees that Kim Jong Un and North Korea is not a threat to South Korea, please feel free to try to convince me of that.

Yes, the US is a NATO member. The bases have nothing to do with NATO and nothing to do with Russia as some are trying to dupe you into believing.

3. Thanks, I stand corrected

I have no idea why I though that.

2. map would embarrass Sarah Palin--it had Kazakhstan as a site of NATO bases

not to mention the fact that South Korea doesn't have a border with Russia.

4. Exactly

It is actually North Korea that has a border with Russia and a very small one at that. The last thing South Korea would want to do is to provoke North Korea.
