"Yeah, it's always been like that, South Korea today is absolutely full of US military personnel. "
In 1952 there were 326,863 US troops in South Korea. 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.

"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...
"... it's very profitable to have military bases in 55 countries, with a $1 trillion annual pot to draw from. "
US Spends over 150 billion annually on overseas base.

Can you provide any source that verifies any of your post? I can't seem to find anything I can point to and say, yes this is true.
