How South Korea finds itself trapped in the US-Iran war

Comments

1. Elin: this is exactly the kind of situation where south korea's relationship with the US gets super complicated. i still remember how it played out in 2017 when they got caught up
2. Diazisla: south korea's foreign ministry really needs to set a stronger tone here
3. Bergamir: it's strange to see seoul pushed into a role like this again. haven't they been trying to carve out their own path with china lately?
4. Ravi: not surprised the US is using SK as a pawn here, wonder what South Korea gets out of this
5. Velvet Oracle: You'd think Seoul would have more leverage than that - they're being pulled into a war between two major powers without getting much benefit in return
6. Theo: why would we ever sign up for this again
7. Selim Grant: You'd think Seoul would know better than to get pulled into a proxy war after what happened last time around still can't believe they're considering supporting another US blockade this is 200
8. Elias: what's next, a naval blockade that's just going to get everyone caught in the middle
9. Wraith Sable: i feel for the SKorean government - they're caught between a global superpower and their own diplomatic history. can't say i blame them for being hesitant to get involved in this
10. Ravi: surprised they're framing this as a trap when the US has been doing its usual proxy game for years
