Threatening to change the status quo is enough. The North Korean "threat" is one of the main justifications and drivers for extreme military spending, the MIC graft that comes with it, and for the surveillance state.

they can always find some other country of devious conniving foreigners with a state budget of a buck fifty who can be an extremely credible existential threat to the us

id actually argue south korean politics isnt as bad as it looks because the main obvious problems are how major corporations intelligence services and obviously incompentent morons hold way too much unofficial power but south korean society at least acknowledges these are bad things which puts them a couple of decades ahead of us while simultaneously and hilariously giving ignorant foreigners the impression that south koreas problems are unique

You can call me by name, fucker!

I'm sure the Philippines or some other SE Asian country could be flipped into being a pseudo-hostile Anti-American, but not quite pro-Chinese power.

yeah one of the many things i like about south korean politics is how rightfully suspicious they are of their political aparatus, wish we were like that

it would take a lot for the Philippines. it's one of the most (if not THE most) pro-American countries in the world. colonial stockholm syndrome I guess

but if those new bases get put in the will be a bunch of US soldiers raping locals as per usual and then they might hate us again like at the end of the cold war
