Russia put money into Estonia.

USA/EU might be putting money into SK.

Both to “prove to the other side” that their ideology is the right one.



The US spends about USD$4.5B per year on US troops and facilities based in South Korea.

And funded what looks like ~USD$35B in post-war economic assistance. (Plus other UN funding)

For that, South Korea went from being devastated by 2 wars to around the 13th largest economy in the world. Not a bad return.

China and Russia were welcome to invest in North Korea...


OK sorry yes that makes sense. Berlin too both side lavished funds to make them look better.
