The fall of the American empire manifested where once strong allies want the US military booted out of their countries. South Korean police have increased security at the US ambassador’s residence in Seoul after demonstrators against American troops in the country were able to infiltrate the diplomatic compound.

The Seoul Metropolitan Police agency said Saturday that the number of officers guarding the estate was more than tripled to 110. The beefed-up security comes a day after a group of protesters used ladders to gain entry to the walled-off grounds around Ambassador Harry Harris’ residence.

“Stop interfering with our domestic affairs,” they shouted, followed by other chants – “Get out,” and “We don’t need US troops.

American diplomatic and military outposts in the world are now regularly targeted by protesters who want the US off their soils.

Tens of thousands of protesters in Okinawa, Japan marched to stop the planned relocation of a US military base, demanding that the facility be removed from the island entirely. They said go home Yankees take care of your own country and cities like Chicago which are true war zones.
