> It’s just polite fiction to ignore the fact that South Korea is a US vassal

Korea is an American suzerainty. Not vassal. Similar to North Korea:China. One of the strategic considerations in countering China in Taiwan is whether Japan and Korea would refused their territory from getting involved. That's a veto a vassal doesn't get.

Iran under the Shah was a U.S. vassal. Same for Ghani's Afghanistan. (Belarus: Russia.)

That's why north korea has nukes? South Korea:US is not analogous to North Korea:China. Neither is Pakistan:China analogous to South Korea:US. If you analogy held, south korea would be a nuclear power.

Stop commenting on things you know nothing about. Honestly, do you think you are an expert in every geopolitical topic?
