content: But it got South Korea on the US side and gave them high tech good paying jobs! I fucking hate every policy from the last 70 years based on getting a few 3rd world countries monopolies on our technology with the supposed help them not be 3rd world countries bullshit. All at nearly (and some cases, entirely) the loss of our own production facilities and economic capacity. Then we get into the fun part of them colluding and price fixing because they're all based in the same country/area they consider to be allied.
