So what? It took them 40 years according to your timeline to become a real democracy. Much longer than Afghanistan. Why give Korea so much time at such greater expense?
The Cold War was still a thing all the way until the democratization of South Korea.
You don't strike me as a Jimmy Carter type, so don't pretend that you think America could have easily walked away from Korea during the Cold War like Biden walked away from Afghanistan.
Trump unilaterally canceled joint military exercises to please KJU, the only Korean he actually liked. Without talking to the SKeans. That shows I was right! Trump treated the SKeans like shit just like he treated Afghans like shit ... in both cases he sold them out to their enemies and they could find out by reading the news. Those talks were actually viewed relatively favorably by Koreans, both on the left and the right. You don't know shit.
Furthermore, at the time of the talks, the South Korea president was a liberal who favored engagement with the North. No one other than hardcore military establishment types objected to the cancelling of military exercises.
In conclusion, I had no worries that Trump would ever sell out South Korea, and I was right.
You spent years playing up fears of renewed hostilities, even the possibility of nuclear war. You were wrong.
