I'm starting to notice the half of Lemmy not federating with Hexbear is even more reactionary on average than I thought.

    I would support the North liberating the South even on the simple basis of the US colonial takeover of the latter. That said, did the South really invade first?

      The South didn't invade first, there were just repeated "border clashes" where South Korean soldiers advised by the US wanted to get ice cream from the soda shop but took a wrong turn and ended up in North Korea

        Was this consistently southerners in the north and not the reverse?

          I don't think you can really apply that sort of northerner-southerner thinking because the border only arose in the last few years and you've got left leaning fleeing the south and anticommunists going south. But recollection it was generally as you put it.

      Skirmishes. Lots of them. I think you'd enjoy the Korean War section of blowback. Or if that's not your slice of cake, they have a source material page so you can read the books yourself.
