Should foreigners be leaving the Republic of South Korea now due to a very strong likelihood of an attack on Seoul? This looks like an accident waiting to happen given recent developments near Seoul. It is obvious that the South Korean government does not have the spine to take any defensive action other than spewing their usual mindless rhetoric while the DPRK appears to be gearing up to take over the South. After jumping through all of the hoops to get here and now being on an E1 visa teaching at a college, I wonder if the situation is worth the risk. The 28,000 soldiers from the USA that are stationed nearby would be too drunk or too slow to get mobilized to help the ROK in the event of an attack and by the time they even got out of bed Seoul would be long gone. I think it might be time to vacate South Korea.
