Yeah, it's always been like that, South Korea today is absolutely full of US military personnel. The sight of US tanks on streets is considered normal. War is like the main industry of the US, it's very profitable to have military bases in 55 countries, with a $1 trillion annual pot to draw from. It pays well to force regime change and install friendly client states that allow labor and resource extraction by US companies. Oil in Syria, Oil in Venezuela, minerals in Ukraine are a couple recent examples. The nice thing about Trump is that he just comes out and says these things, he doesn't disguise imperialism like other politicians have. "We'll install Guaido if they agree to give us half of their oil", "We are in Syria for the Oil", "We want something in return in Ukraine, we want the minerals", "We want the lithium in Bolivia", "We want Panama", "We want Greenland", "Make Canada a US state", "turn beachfront Gaza into a Real-Estate investment", etc. But it goes all the way back to the Korean War, with the North having most of the mineral resources that the US is interested in conquering. This is a playbook that the US has used all over the world.

Last count there is 28,500 US troops. I struggle to fathom any definition of full of US military personnel that could possibly be true. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Forces_Korea#Number_of_U.S._soldiers_stationed_in_South_Korea_by_year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Forces_Korea#Num... "The sight of US tanks on streets is considered normal." I've been in Seoul over three months, I've never seen a military tank on the street. In fact, I've never witnessed a tank on a street in my entire life in any country anywhere. "War is like the main industry of the US, ..." Nope, not even close. https://axiomalpha.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Screenshot-from-2022-08-31-23-22-02.png https://axiomalpha.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Screenshot...

I can't seem to find anything I can point to and say, yes this is true.
