What do you think the future for Korea holds? Can they be trusted or are they going to be absorbed by China eventually?
Honestly, I'm concerned about the future of South Korea. The government is huge there and the people entrust way too much for the government to handle. Job creation is in the shitter, the job market is awful, the government sector is incredibly big and is highly sought after by the Korean population. The private sector is stagnant and Samsung isn't as profitable as an enterprise with government support, just like the zaibatsus in Japan(Sony, Honda, Toyota, Suzuki, Mitsubishi).
With the way things are going, I am unsure on how they will react to the growing tensions between us and China. They are really economically tied with China with a lot of trade going their way. https://thediplomat.com/2020/08/the-us-south-korea-alliance-and-the-china-factor/
We even had a THAAD missile deal that almost fell through because of China throwing a hissy fit.

If they continue to elect cucks like Moon, then yes I do believe our alliance with them will be at risk. It's shocking, but the younger generation (Millenials) are so naive to communism, they want more ties with China and are more cautious with how Trump's leadership is making a return to America-first doctrine. The older generation is staunchly conservative but want too much from the government in welfare, social health programs, the works. At most, I think they'll become another puppet state like North Korea is for the CCP.
Wow that's really too bad! I was listening to a podcast with a North Korean defector who moved to the states from South Korea, and one thing she criticized was the South Korea's growing complacency with the north and with communism. She didn't really explain it in terms I could understand (probably because of her background, she went to a lot of extreme examples).
But I guess I was under the impression that the South Korean economy was doing well enough that it would keep them from drifting in that direction - but I didn't really know how it worked or even that it was that bad. Wow! That is really too bad.
