With the strengthening of the alliance between the United States and South Korea in recent years, the Korea-US alliance has also exerted considerable influence in the Asia-Pacific region. Although the Korea-US alliance is a typical product of the Cold War, it has also played a considerable role and significance in this era.

1. The Korea-US alliance is a US-South Korea military alliance formed under the command of the United States. During the Korean War, South Korea could not fight against North Korea through its own strength, so in order to gain the strength to defeat North Korea, South Korea invited the United States to form a Korea-US alliance. Although the Korea-US alliance sounds like an equal alliance between the two countries, it is basically dominated by the United States because of the military strength of the United States.

Second, the Korea-US alliance is a military alliance commanded by the United States, because the United States holds the command of the alliance. In order to completely control South Korea's military power, the United States firmly controls the command in the Korea-US alliance, and the reason why the United States does this is to reduce the frequency of conflicts between South Korea and North Korea, and on the other hand, to make South Korea's military power completely obey itself. It is precisely because the command of the Korea-US alliance is in the hands of the United States that the Korea-US alliance basically exists in name only.

Third, the Korea-US alliance is a military alliance commanded by the United States, because the strength of the United States is far greater than that of South Korea. Although South Korea's military strength has obviously improved in recent years, it still cannot be compared with the United States in terms of overall scale and advanced weapons. It is precisely because of the existence of the US military that South Korea has a stable external environment. If there is no Korea-US alliance, then South Korea will inevitably face considerable danger.

In the Korea-US alliance, South Korea is obviously a pawn of the United States. It is precisely because of the instigation of the United States that South Korea will frequently provoke North Korea.
