How should the US respond to North Korea's artillery attack on South Korea?

North Korea launched an artillery attack on South Korea that killed two and wounded at least 17 more including civilians. North Korea's government claims it may continue attacking the South.
"The North had claimed the South had provoked its attack by carrying out military operations near the border and firing across it. 
Seoul said it had been conducting military drills in the area beforehand but had fired west, not north."

    The defense of South Korea should be South Korea’s responsibility.

    South Korea has twice the population and much more then ten times the GDP of the North

    South Korea only spends 2 percent GDP on defense in comparison to the US which spends more then 4 percent GDP on defense including defense of South Korea

    If South Korea thinks that North Korea is a threat then they should increase their defense spending, not rely on the US which has massive budget and trade deficits. The US should remove its forces from South Korea and leave the Koreans to sort out their own problems.

    I couldn't agree more. The same with Europe.
