"the US intervention in Vietnam was to preserve the independence of South Vietnam"
that was the only reason, you implied
Do you think the U.S raped south korea for their resources?
or was that the chinese that did it in north korea?
The U.S. had never preserved the independence of Asian nations or restored capitalism in those nations for personal gain
The US has an effective client state in South Korea conducive to their financial motives
Japan is an excellent example of this
And south korea benefited heavily
The U.S. allowed cheap Japanese exports to flood American markets, while simultaneously allowing and even encouraging Japanese tarriffs to ensure that Japanese markets remained closed to foreign goods
so their motive wasn't independence? a convenient consequence I suppose?
bruh are you guys seriously arguing about imperalism right now
How is South Korea a U.S. puppet state?
I said client state
Especially when South Korean firms are allowed to compete with American firms on the international market
South Korea economically and politically opposes the North
Of course they do, North Korea invaded them and is now threatening nuclear war
and thus can expect military and financial aid from the US, as they have done since the 50s
U.S. aid to South Korea is less than U.S. food aid to North Korea 🤦
nuclear war is unlikely between the two nations
Alongside this, the only reason North Korea has been preserved as an independent state is to act as a buffer between China and South Korea & Japan
provocation is met with intimidation
buffer state = not imperialist
North Korea is essentially a chinese puppet
Not only economically, but politically
cheap coal too, they ship it to their chinese imperialists
And also, either the U.S. is an imperialist country for the banana republics, or China preserving North Korea for their own interest isnt imperialist
pick one
Juche is a very one-nation ideology that opposes military intervention for the purposes of national self-realisation
How the fuck is South Korea the provocative state
holy fuck you're actually retarded
"Sanctions against North Korea are provocative!!!!!!! Even though these sanctions are in direct response to their Nuclear Testing!!!!"
🤦
what an amazing show of doublethink
keep in mind that China has consistently supported these sanctions <:pepekek:329662310971080704>
US plants bases around the east as purposes of provocation
but no
totally innocent
