Seoul 7th Biggest Buyer of US Arms

I choose this news because I saw this picture and I was very excited with it , so I read this news. This news is very interesting, the news is about South Korea bought arms from U.S. and They is the biggest buyers of U.S. Therefore, when I read that news I have a question that why South Korea bought many arms for what ?

According to the news, The U.S. said that South Korea was the biggest buyers of America defense goods on a government-to-government level last year. South Korea purchased $462 million and becoming Washington’s seventh-biggest client. In 2008, The amount fell rapidly , however, Seoul has conducted additional naval drills to deter provocations from North Korea. So, South Korea has to prepare the large-scale joint naval exercises in the East Sea with the United States. Last year, U.S. allowed legislation South Korea under the special project and they mention to the need that enhance weapons compatibility between the South Korean military and the 28,500 U.S. troops for against North Korea.

In my opinion, it is a good sigh for South Korea that they have a business with the great business dealer like American. South Korea can enable American's government to rely on what South Korea does. The way South Korea bought a lot of goods means that the South Korea has a lot of money. It can purchase things that have a high cost. Moreover, the cooperation between South Korea and American to ignore North Korea is the great news.
