    South Korea could acquire wartime control of their military almost immediately, like the Philippines elected to kick out the Americans from their major base in the country in 1991, but ROK haven’t so deal with it. There is more to politics than virtue signalling. Like I said, the world is anarchic than anyone realise.

          -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.

                    We’re talking about South Korea not having wartime control of the army right now, not during the founding.

                    How is US pressuring South Korea not to have wartime control of their army, right now?
