South Korea, the new France

[steve666]

But the only countries that took them up on it were Russia, Ukraine and South Korea.

Haven't we been carrying the South Koreans long enough? Typical. We pump billions of $$$$ into their economy and they turn on us like a rabid dog. Sound familiar?

Hopefully Captain America will get the message and not try to play World Policeman anymore.

Any country that can host the Olympics and export billions to the U.S. should be able to pay for their own defense.

Perceived wholesale French disdain and hostility towards all things American.

As pertains to the OP, who gives a **** what a film is titled in a foreign market?

Particularly this one, considering that he is effectively a walking American Flag. It seems like a rather pointless gesture.

+1, I think they are very well off themselves too. We don't need to babysit them anymore.

I agree, but geopolitically it isn't possible as long as the nut case north of there is in power. IF we weren't there, we would be soon after...
