The Blob

We shouldn't forget that the ex-president of Korea was our man in Seoul. "We" loved him because he was belligerent towards North Korea, conciliatory towards Japan, and anti-China.

That he was an authoritarian right wing nutcase who was cooking his brains on Youtube conspiracy videos somehow escaped the notice of the panopticon.

Perhaps our meddling there is minor,  but it does show clearly how "our" concerns are selfish, narrow, shortsighted, and fundamentally ignorant.  This is true when the bombs are dropping as well.

A career at State is for you if you fundamentally do not believe most other people are people.
