No one has to fight for America to make a few rich guys richer lol. Totally unnecessary and doesn’t have to be done in the US. Every American veteran is a war criminal and killing ppl to make a couple guys richer is never justifiable

How did we commit genocide?

It wasn’t invaded by the north, they were tryin to liberate the south from the US backed dictatorship. We killed a quarter of their population!! 80% of infrastructure gone. It was a genocide. And it’s still ongoing actually. The korean and cold war never ended

Anonymous OP 13h

So we should have let the entirety of the Korean Peninsula become North Korea? I think the citizens of north and south would unanimously agree that’s the worst case scenario. Not that it justifies bad actions, but the bad actions don’t disqualify the good either

By killing a quarter of the population and decimating 80% of their infrastructure. We’re still actively trying to starve them out

Yes we should have let the Korean Peninsula have sovereignty instead of militarily occupy them and decide their government for them, absolutely

Anonymous OP 13h

I don’t get why we can’t simultaneously condemn the mass bombing campaigns and killings while still acknowledging that what we protected in the South ended up being better than the north, at least long term. There were countless good people who had nothing to do with those specific missions.

No, they were there to liberate them from the colonizing efforts of the US… fuck the UN, they’ve helped the US destroy the rest of the world

I mean that’s cool but the USSR is the one who deserves credit for defeating the Nazis. We were on their side until they got too ambitious. And then after WWII we recruited them here to run our government programs. So we’re not anti Nazi whatsoever. We actually inspired them in the first place

Anonymous OP 13h

Yes, I agree. But in doing so, look at the economic and quality of life differences between the two. But look how much more prosperous the south is than the north. Does our sanctions have a lot to do with that? Sure. But they were pretty equivalent up until the death of Il Sung. After that their internal government style went extremely repressive and lost support of China and Russia.

You’ve seen the videos of the dprk right? How you’re guided along a very specific path and you can only film where allowed and all that? It’s not US propaganda that life in North Korea is abysmal. The communism thing totally is. But not the authoritarian regime.

The USSR reached Berlin first. We would’ve reached Berlin a few weeks later. If we hadn’t been involved in WWII, the USSR probably would have fallen. If they hadn’t, all of Europe would’ve been under the USSR.

That question only works when the US is the only power in the region. We were effectively the 3rd most effective power in the region. Strongest overall maybe. But half a world away. China and USSR were neighbors and kept the north prosperous for a time. Until the government went fully authoritarian.

You’re right about the us propaganda thing. But in the case of the DPRK, a lot of it is true. Some of it isn’t fs, but a lot of it is. Just look up what defectors are telling the Chinese.

If all they tell is lies, nobody will believe what they say. Say enough truth with the lies and it’s hard to tell which is which. In the case of the DPRK it’s mostly truth.

Systematic human rights abuses, lack of free elections, hereditary rule. Too much text to fully explain, I’d need an essay And every state cracks down on dissent that threatens the livelihood of the state. Not ideal in a perfect world but when you have the US couping every country that doesn’t bow down to them, it’s no wonder. You could argue that they go overboard but you have to look at in the context of our continued war and genocide of them and what they have to do to survive in response

We can agree on the dubious history of U.S. interventions, economic sanctions, and the devastating impact of the Korean War. We can also agree on the fact that being surrounded by hostile superpowers shapes a nation’s security posture and economy. We can also agree that the U.S. certainly suffers from political dynasties (Bushes, Clintons, Kennedys, etc.) and oligarchic influence.

1

Anonymous OP 11h

But your statements are full of false equivalencies. U.S. political dynasties exist due to wealth and networking, which is structurally different from North Korea, where political power is legally and constitutionally bound to a single family line by blood. Plus, in the U.S., people can and do protest, organize strikes, and criticize the president without facing state-sanctioned execution or generational labor camps.
