Why is the upcoming presidential election of South Korea as important as the Ukraine war for America?

There are only two major events on mainstream media's radar right now - the Ukraine war and the midterm elections. But in fact, beyond the Canadian truckers' petition, and the Durham report, that we have been covering, there's another important event coming very soon. For the United States, it is as significant as the Ukraine war. To outsiders, the South Korean election is just one of many regime transitions. But in the eyes of Washington, Beijing, and Tokyo, this election is crucial in determining the geopolitical landscape, in the context of the U.S.-China confrontation.
