It seems many Koreans view the international community through the lens of an ideological war

The ideological war ended a long time ago due to the Cold War.
Many people claim that Iran and Russia are "commie" communist states,
but Russia is actually a hardline right-wing nationalist state,
so there is a strong pro-Russian sentiment among Western white right-wing circles, including the US and Europe.
Iran is a religious state, making it an extreme anti-communist nation.
Do you think following whatever the US says makes you the "liberal/good" side?
That way of thinking is decades out of date;;;
Today, society operates strictly according to national interests,
and even the US moves based on national interest rather than alliances.
One reason for the failure of US sanctions against Russia is that many allies
did not participate in the sanctions due to their relationships with Russia.
This shows that Korea and Japan are countries that truly maintain loyalty to the US.
Even though both are countries that would suffer great losses if they fell out with Russia,
they support Ukraine and participate in sanctions against Russia…
