What have I made up, exactly? That I touch grass and am close with many South Korean immigrants? If that's what you take issue with, I can walk away from this convo knowing that I was 100% correct the entire time, and you just cope and mald, calling me a liar, despite me being 100% correct about everything I've said leading up to this recent comment.
More dodging, lol.
-Moves goalposts the entire time and refuses to admit that the US has power over the people of South Korea
-baselessly claims I'm a liar for touching grass and talking to people who have been directly impacted by what I'm talking about
Lol
Building dependency, by which the US maintains an important foothold on East Asian soil.
By providing aid and by engineering the ROK during its founding. Pretty simple stuff.
Are you legitimately trying to argue that history has no bearing on current conditions? Lmao.
The ROK was built by the US, and modeled as they saw fit. You're making the same argument that the US constitution doesn't impact modern American life, because George Washington is dead. That's a fallacy, it hasn't been restructured in any meaningful capacity.
Yes, the ROK has peacetime control. They don't have wartime control, despite posturing. The US still keeps the ROK on a leash, and is waiting for the time when they don't even need to directly control the ROK as they will be subservient regardless.
You really love Imperialism, I guess.
I literally gave the KCIA as an example, the ROK itself is designed by the US.
You're clearly not interested in answering honestly or directly, just dodging and justifying Imperialism, rather than sovereignty.
