South Korea was overtly a puppet dictatorship until the mid 80s, now their military is still subordinate to US pacific command.

Why are we worried about "eroding democracy" when South Korea is a construct of the USA explicitly created to stop the self determination of the Korean people in order to defeat anti-capitalist ideology?
