Wow, imma break this news to my preschool kids!

South Korea has cooperated with the U.S. and Trump administrations a lot, but now that the U.S. has lost Korea and has been deceived by Japanese war criminals, the U.S. has become a 'grateful traitor' to Korea.

Right now, South Korea is on the same page as Hong Kong. In response, South Korea will cooperate with China and Russia, not with the United States. The U.S. thinks like an ally on the outside, but has the same idea as an evil Japan.

Is that really 'breaking news'?
