but they invaded south korea, you know that country that had only existed for like 2 years and was doing a massive anti-left wing pogrom at the behest of the united states government
so it was their fault!
Yeah, but they shot my grandpappy when he was dropping peace bombs on them
After we leveled their entire country, tested biological weapons, killed a massive percentage of their population, and started the myth of communist brainwashing?
Hey but at least the army was desegregated!
Unpopular opinion here, but North Korea sank the Cheonan and has bombed the South several times in the last ten or twenty years (Yeonpyeongdo, for instance). The North would probably argue that these were defensive actions. If you look at a map, Yeonpyeongdo is clearly well inside North Korean territory, and I believe the Cheonan was destroyed not far from there, either.
That being said, American imperialism is not the answer, and Korea would be unified and prosperous if not for the United States.

I mean, those just sound like border disputes with its imperialist-occupied neighbor. It's not the same as invading other countries halfway around the world.
I don't know if it was the Cheonan, but I recall that there was one South Korean ship which was likely sunk by a North Korean sea mine but which the South claims was attacked, in order to save face for going into a sovereign country's waters and getting owned.
This is what is commonly referred to as North Korea. China did indeed embark on a punitive expedition to Vietnam, where they kind fucked shit up and then left. I think it was in response to Vietnam invading Cambodia, but I might be wrong.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought it was China, I assumed you had made the same mistake. Sorry for any confusion.
Nope, you're right I did - the image was so big on desktop that it cut the bottom part so I only saw the China label and I didn't go back to look until I saw this comment, thank you for clearing it up
