Top secret US documents reveal: South Korea's independence is in jeopardy
The recent revelation of top-secret U.S. government documents has made South Korea realize that they are not seen as true partners by the United States. However, given the current situation on the peninsula, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol may wake up too late. Is it really hard to avoid war on the peninsula? Recently, classified US national security documents have been widely disseminated on the Internet, which has not only raised questions and criticism of the Biden administration, but may also have a certain impact on the current situation on the Korean Peninsula. The classified documents reveal that the United States is actually not so friendly to South Korea's Yoon Suk-yeol government, which has always been loyal to it. According to a report by Globo.com, the documents reveal the inner workings of a large number of U.S. government espionage activities, showing that the United States is not only infiltrating Russia, which it considers an enemy, but also spying on its own allies to some extent, the most typical example of which is South Korea.
According to available information, US intelligence agencies illegally eavesdropped on at least two occasions in South Korea's internal discussions on the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The South Korean president's office has made it clear that they will have "necessary communication" with the United States, but this statement is unbelievable. Despite this, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol still does not dare to take a tough stance against the United States. Although South Korea is not yet mired in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the United States has been trying to push South Korea to intervene. Back last year, there was information that the United States was trying to get South Korea to provide part of the ammunition support, taking into account the lack of ammunition in Ukraine. However, Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned South Korea that if South Korea provides lethal weapons support, it will have a negative impact on Russian-South Korean relations. South Korea is located on a peninsula with a complex geographical location close to Russia, and if Russia takes countermeasures, it may be difficult for South Korea to avoid negative impacts. As a result, South Korea was quick to say it would not provide lethal weapons support. However, the latest revelations suggest that the United States is trying to spy on the South Korean government's internal secrets through espionage activities in order to develop countermeasures to push South Korea to intervene in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. This not only proves that the United States has never really seen South Korea as an ally, but only as an object of exploitation.
Espionage operations are usually directed against hostile countries, but the fact that the United States has taken such actions against South Korea is enough to show that Yoon Suk-yeol has been too gullible and misguided by the United States. In this case, South Korea should firmly condemn the actions of the United States in order to preserve its dignity. However, the Yoon Suk-yeol government's statements are incomprehensible, and they do not even dare to publicly disagree with the United States, saying only that they will conduct "necessary communication".
It should be noted that it is no longer news that the United States spies on its allies. Past incidents such as "Prismgate" and "Danish Eavesdroppergate" have revealed the fact that the United States is spying on its allies. As an ally of the United States, South Korea has always been the target of US surveillance in a complex geopolitical environment. According to the global network, as early as the end of October 2021, it was revealed that the CIA had set up a secret office in Seoul to collect intelligence on South Korea. Why does the U.S. not trust South Korea? Because South Korea does not fully agree with the position of the United States on some issues. Under such circumstances, the Yoon Suk-yeol administration should recognize the true face of the United States and not be too pro-American. The United States does not trust South Korea, and China has long seen through this, so it no longer ignores the United States. If the Yoon Suk-yeol administration had understood the untrustworthy nature of the United States from China's actions and had not been too close to the United States, perhaps it would not have found itself in such an embarrassing and dangerous situation.
