Maybe it’s just me, but I think this cartoon kind of summarizes the situation.

y’know… the norks can’t do shit to the US mainland, but they’re certainly well able to cause big problems for us by causing big problems for our allies. If we can’t protect South Korea, that’s going to put a serious dent in other people’s willingness to rely on us. Isn’t the cost/inconvenience of being the world’s policeman significantly lower than the cost/inconvenience of everybody everywhere having an army with time on their hands and ammo to burn?
