The recent announcement that a U.S. Navy nuclear-armed ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) will visit South Korea marks a significant moment in the country's history. For the first time in over three decades, an SSBN will visit the region as a demonstration of the United States' commitment to protect South Korea from any potential North Korean attack. The joint declaration, made by South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and U.S. President Joe Biden during a summit in Washington, was seen as a way to reassure Seoul and quell talk of developing homegrown nuclear weapons.

The visit is also being viewed as a message to North Korea, which has been steadily developing increasingly powerful missiles capable of hitting targets across South Korea and even the mainland United States. The deployment of U.S. strategic assets such as aircraft carriers, submarines, and long-range bombers to the region has been seen as a way to deter North Korea from taking any aggressive action. The submarine visit, in particular, is likely to put pressure on North Korea, which has no way of knowing the submarine's exact location and will be forced to assume that it is within striking distance at all times.

The U.S. Navy has 14 SSBNs, also known as "boomers," each carrying 20 Trident II D5 missiles capable of delivering up to eight nuclear warheads to targets up to 12,000 kilometers (7,500 miles) away. These submarines rely on secrecy and stealth to ensure their survival, which is why they rarely make public stops in foreign ports. The fact that one is making a public visit to South Korea is a clear message that the U.S. is willing to take extraordinary measures to protect its allies and deter potential adversaries.

The visit is also symbolic of a larger shift in the United States' foreign policy towards the region. The Biden administration has made it clear that it intends to prioritize its relationships with its allies in Asia, particularly South Korea and Japan. This has been seen as a response to China's increasing assertiveness in the region and its attempts to challenge U.S. influence. The U.S. has been working to deepen its security relationships with its allies and increase its military presence in the region, including by deploying additional troops and equipment.

Fair use is the right to use a copyrighted work under certain conditions without permission of the copyright owner. The doctrine helps prevent a rigid application of copyright law that would stifle the very creativity the law is designed to foster. It allows one to use and build upon prior works in a manner that does not unfairly deprive prior copyright owners of the right to control and benefit from their works. Together with other features of copyright law like the idea/expression dichotomy discussed above, fair use reconciles the copyright statute with the First Amendment.
