The question of the day is how long will it be until South Korea stops sucking off the American public tit? How long will it be until South Korea learns how to fend for themselves and or solve their own problems? These questions prompted us to shed light to the unnecessary vast amount of military spending that is going on in America, which doesn’t seem to benefit the average American on the streets. Moreover, the Association for Asian Studies reported that: “Before 1941, the US had no vital interests in Korea and was largely indifferent to its fate”. Thus, it can be concluded that America didn’t have any issues with Korea prior to the annexing the peninsula in 1950 after World War 2 as a counter to Russia and communism. This was primarily because what was happening there was none of America’s business. But that didn’t stop the U.S. from making it their business.
Citing the need for peace and stabilization in that part of Asia, it would be at a meeting between President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and the Chinese General Chiang Kaishek would result in them signing off on what is known as the “Cairo Declaration”. The Cairo Declaration was a declaration that was signed under the pretense that Korea should be a free and independent country. But the question that many people are asking today is why would that be for the United States and the British to decide? This is especially true since they don’t even live there, nor did Korea serve any strategic interest to the U.S or the British to begin with.

The unpopular reason why America, the British and the Chinese General got together was to ensure that Russia did not gain favorable influence on the peninsula. That’s right, it goes back to the ideologies of “democracy vs communism” which all too often serves as a pretext for the Collective West to insert themselves into aconflict, whether it's a false flag or real. The next thing you should be questioning is why does The Chinese General Chiang Kaishek get to sit at the table with America and the British. When it comes to Chiang Kaishek many would say he’s a traitor to China or he tended to “flip-flop” a lot through his lifetime when it came to picking a side and staying committed to it, in which there is some truth in these claims.
General Chiang Kaishek, being a supporter of nationalist ideals, lost the ideological war in China to communist thought. Furthermore, General Chiang Kaishek was forced into exile to live in what is now known as Taiwan, which historically belonged to China with the people who supported him. While living in exile, he started his own kind of dictatorship over the people that held the same nationalistic ideals as him. Moreover, since he made self-benefiting agreements with the U.S., he ended up receiving a generous amount of “aid” from the Americans. In 1955, America signed an agreement with General Chiang Kaishek to provide defense for Taiwan. Hence, China and America are where they stand on Taiwan today.

Going back to Korea, what made America induce themselves into the country was the fact that again, the Russians began their expansion in the area. Thus came the dropping of the atomic bomb. The logic for dropping the atomic bomb on Japan was bifurcated; meaning that America President Truman at the time thought he could kill two birds with one stone. But the logic was flawed and thus failed. President Truman thought that not only could he defeat the Japanese and end the war. But he also thought that by dropping the atomic bomb, he could stop Russia from entering the conflict as well; hence stopping the spread of communism. According to the Association for Asian studies: “On August 8, Stalin declared war on Japan and sent the Red Army into Korea”. Keep in mind that the atomic bomb wasn’t dropped on Japan until September 2, 1945.
With time passing, both bilateral and unilateral talks ensued between the Americans, the British and the Koreans but to no avail. It would be these continuous failed talks that would lead up to the pseudo-withdrawal of America from the area. It wouldn't be until 1947 (the year the AK-47 was adopted by the Russians) that according to the Association to Asian studies: “the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) added weight to the withdrawal argument when they advised that Korea held no strategic significance. With Communist power growing in China, however, the Truman administration was unwilling to abandon southern Korea precipitously, fearing domestic criticism from Republicans and damage to US credibility abroad.”

This assessment resulted in America placing the fate of Korea into the hands of the United Nations (U.N.) towards the later part of 1947. Instead of letting the Koreans sort their own issues out and letting the winner emerge as victorious. The agreement reached at and by the U.N. was that there should be a separation of Korea and due to the pressure the American placed on the U.N., it resulted in the U.N. undemocratically electing and certifying South Korea as its own country without the input of the Koreans. It would be until August 1948 that the formation of the Republic of Korea (ROK) would become official in the eyes of the U.N.
With that happening it resulted in Russia establishing the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) in the next following month (September 1948). From that point on, it led to revolts against the American installed government, to America arming and training the South Koreans to fight the North Koreans, then to the South Koreans switching from being “defensive” in nature to outright carrying out assault missions against North Korea. When that occurred, it led to President Truman “limiting” the military abilities of South Koreans by withholding tanks, heavy artillery, and warplanes” (Association of Asian Studies).
From that point in time, there were several outbreaks of proxy fighting controlled by America then followed by the Russians which led to North Korea taking significant ground away from South Korea then losing that same ground to South Korea. Worthy of note, in 1953 the Americans bombed the North Koreans irrigation systems and dam which is a war crime and resulted in bad optics for the Americans. There was and still is no clear winner for this conflict, so both South and North Koreans remain at a stalemate to this very day. Another hidden truth in the matter is that without American intervention, South Korea would have lost that war in the past. Making matters worse, when you look at the current military numbers and the most probable outcome, if South Korea didn’t have the backing of America, South Korea would again lose a war with North Korea today.
Outside of losing a war with North Korea, South Korea really doesn’t have any significant benefit to America for anything other than the following: Cars ($17.6B), Office Machine Parts ($7.59B), and Motor vehicles; parts and accessories ($5.74B). When all of those numbers are added up, it totals out to an estimated $31 billion dollars. That’s nothing because America has given over double that in “aid” to Ukraine. This leads to America subsidizing another country that does absolutely nothing for America. It's time that America stops funding and propping up bullshit made up countries with American tax dollars that they don’t have and it's time for South Korea to stop sucking off the American tit and learn how to fend for themselves and or solve their own problems.
