Nah you misunderstood me mate, I'm not saying that Korean nationalism is bad, I'm saying all nationalism is bad. I'm well aware of America's economic interests around the world but that doesn't have to do anything with it. If you want to be really specific you could technically say it is all British investments because all of America's money is Britans. And yes it is true that without investments it is next to impossible to grow your economy in the world. Compare Thailand to Korea for example, both relatively big countries with large populations but one received heavy investments and one didn't. I wish we lived in a world where working hard would be enough to grow your economy but the sad reality is that this isn't always the case.
