“A man will contend for a false faith stronger than he will a true one,” he observes. “The truth defends itself, but a falsehood must be defended by its adherents: first to prove it to themselves and secondly, that they may appear right in the estimation of their friends.”
-The Acts of Pilate.
What strategic value? Strategic value to keep an eye on NK, perhaps. Which they wouldn't need if it wasn't for you to begin with. Japan is their key strategical partner in East Asia, not SK. They're pampering you, because they're being nice. Not because they think the few hundred miles closer to China is going to achieve anything significant.

What are we gonna do now? Taking off his turban, they said, is this man a Jew?
'Cause they're working for the clampdown
They put up a poster saying we earn more than you!
When we're working for the clampdown
We will teach our twisted speech To the young believers
We will train our blue-eyed men To be young believers

A leader " going Cersie" is exactly what you can expect if a people are pushed far enough. If that leader doesn't want to be mobbed by the people they are sworn to protect.
For example, if I were president and ISIS set off a small nuke in NYC ( 1-5 kt basically) and killed a few dozen thousand people, I would literally erase Raqqah. 500 kt airburst, 200 feet above the center of the city. Total destruction. Then go on TV.
" This is your only warning. From now on, every instance of terrorism against the US will end with the erasure of one of your cities. That is all."
This isn't about morals, it isn't about " being a better people" than they are. it's a win it all or lose it all bloodbath. The US is pretty good at those.
Yeah, you're advocating shooting men, women, and children based on their ethnic background and country of origin if they violate immigration law. I'm struggling to find any meaningful moral difference between your position and basically any piece of shit out there advocating wanton force to get their way.
Those refugees that we've taken in? They're on you. That's how we're trying to fix shit. Us not bombing Iraq back into the stoneage? That's us trying to tell you nicely that it's a bad idea. But hey, keep on coming with those super suggestions on how to fix shit in a shitty world. Anything else? A wall we should build through an ocean perhaps? An automated laser turret chain that zaps bad dudes?

The world seems scarier than usual lately.
Whelp I just watched a video of the after math... hundreds of people kneeling over broken bodies of loved ones the limbs bent and broken at odd angles... I suggest you search it out for yourself. I am going to go take a long walk work off some of this rage I am feeling till it bleeds off into cynicism...
