Yea Uncle Sam shoulda escalated the war killing millions of more Koreans instead of resolving it peacefully….
I swear the anti-American circle jerk has given you people brain rot.
"resolving it peacefully"????
you arrogant, ignorant slime it ISNT FUCKING RESOLVED. a state of war exists between the Koreas with a ceasefire, not a peace treaty. the US dropped more munitions on Korea during this "de-escalation" than in the entire pacific theater of WW2. 1.2 million civilians were killed by the united states in the north, to this day the US imposes sanctions on essential goods to the DPRK, trying and during the 90s succeeding in starving their people. you talk about peace and Korean lives while defending the singular obstacle to peace and human wellfare in Korea, read a fucking book and become less of a monster
Yes a ceasefire is peaceful compared to full blown war you fucking moron. The only thing keeping NK a complete shit hole is themselves and China.
It truly takes a special kind of stupid to think the DPRK is the victim here.
the full blown war did not stop when the US was forced back from the north by the Chinese and Koreans. 2 more years that you are somehow failing to perceive of warfare on the 38th parallel and indiscriminate bombing of civilian targets in north korea. two years of endless bombing of every fucking building the US airforce could find, killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people.
oh no, history stops existing the moment the US stops actively bombing you, how could destroying their country possibly affect them after the fact. why would the US bans on exports to a country they blew up all the fucking factories in affect their well-being. and why are the Koreans so rude to America after all this?
The full blown war stopped when they agreed on a ceasefire… the US didn’t bomb North Korea after that, the hell are you going about?
South Korea was devastated after the war as well, yet they’re a thriving modern country today. The US is still technically at war with NK so why the hell would they trade with their enemies?
Probably because they chose an ass backwards authoritarian regime that makes their lives miserable up and to this day. Yet South Korea is one of the most pro-American countries in the world, weird how that happens huh lol
the shocking confidence of someone who doesn't have the barest outline of the subject repeating the canned lines they learned in what, middle school? like its fucking gospel. you literally can't follow what you said in this comment chain, your first response to me was asserting the lack of US progress after being defeated by China and Korea in the North was out of a desire for peace. i have refuted this with the evidence of warfare continuing for two years after that and now you're acting like this fact is inadmissable.
and is there anything different in say, who the south was allowed to trade with in contrast to the north? any country with military bases in the south that gave it a lot of economic aid perhaps?
Lmao I think you’re just arguing with yourself at this point. Do you think there was 2 years of fighting after the ceasefire or something? Nothing I said was outside of literal historical records, but I guess if you view recorded history as “gospel” I can understand why you are so historically inept.
Yea, people they weren’t at war with genius. Like holy shit a child would have better understanding of geopolitics
you didn't know the war didn't end after the US was removed from the north at the beginning of this thread, or you profoundly misunderstood the character of the later stages of the war. now you're attempting to cover for this by claiming i don't grasp the chronology and moving around 2 years of warfare i was never confused about the location of. check my first comment, lmao dork
what i want to know is what makes someone so fundamentally incurious and foolish that when they discover something they thought was true might be untrue, instead of investigating or listening to people eager to educate them, they dig in their heels and deploy all the tricks in their (quite insubstantial) rhetorical arsenal to insist upon the falsehood. it's okay to be wrong about things, it won't kill you
You’re arguing with yourself again lol
Never once did I say the war ended when the US was getting pushed back. The war “ended” with the signing of the armistice and it’s been a ceasefire ever since. The Korean War timeline is not that complicated.
you know this isn't going to work on anyone who can read, but whatever you need to write to protect your fragile baby ego
Yeah only stupid people could possibly think that the targets of an indiscriminate bombing campaign that killed hundreds of thousands of civilians are victims at all.
Like, fuck all the way off you chauvinistic freak.
We’re talking about post war, pay attention dipshit.
Yea I guess if being educated with reality is a hivemind count me in.
Wish someone dropped 1.2 million tons of bombs on the blast shield that is your dense skull
The US only stopped bombing the DPRK because there was nothing left to bomb
