Of course the US gives a shit about South Korea. Their economy is a source of profit for US capitalists, and their geography is a source of US military power.
The US defined South Korea’s borders, and the US Military Government in Korea had massive influence on their Constitution. The US added anti-communist provisions and extreme protections for business.
For most practical purposes, South Korea is a US colony, and that is quite valuable.
Oh it’s valuable, but that’s extremely limited. South Korea is a simple cost-benefit analysis away from being abandoned. No, the reason the US doesn’t attack the DPRK, or any of the other nuclear powers directly, is because there has never been a war ended on MAD terms. It’s a complete unknown. Until the US is confident it can win a nuclear war, it won’t attack DPRK.
Why would it matter to the US if two countries fought each other to the death? The US doesn’t give a shit about South Korea and you know it

Desperate.
The US is the only reason South Korea exists in the first place
Correct. It’s a vassal
