I actually agree with you about NK being a brutal dectatorship. I'm not a tankie or a dictator apologist. Far from it. You're misreading my comment through a biased lens, making personal assumptions about me.

I just wanted to point out that the US had a primary role in creating and worsening the divsion of korea for decades. Even if the USSR and China and their form of imperialism was also to blame. That's just a historical fact that is purposefuly obscured by propaganda and it's important to remember.

I would agree.

Also a certain US general has larger war ambitions that created a clusterfuck. They had easily repelled the offensive and pushed the north basicallly to the Yalu river. But then the general straight defied orders and started a full scale invasion and wanted to push further, into china.

That attarmpt triggered china to actually respond and push everything back got the 38th.

Had MacArthur not been such an ego driven maniac Korea may look quite different today.
