      The ROK is essentially a US colony, their military is subservient to the US’ military “in wartime.” Guess what? They have always been in “wartime.”

      Taiwan is similar, the US maintains a large military presence there and in Japan to try to keep China in check as a geopolitical adversary.

      East asian countries after WW2 (minus China) are essentially subsidaries of Western/US imperialism.
