(22,000 posts)The current president's father was a vile dictator who ruled South Korea for about 20 years before he got shot in the back of the head by one of his advisers.
Regardless, they were two separate countries before North Korea attacked and leveled Seoul starting the Korean War. My point was that it was North Korea that started the war, yet you blame the United States. We were asked by South Korea and NATO to intervene.
We didn't murder millions, we saved millions from being under control of Kim for the last 75 years. Had we not done so the southern half of Korea would look just like the northern half. Very dark, very hungry, and very cold.
My father-in-law fought on the side of South Korea despite being from North Korea. So don't dare lecture me on the history of a nation you have never had anything to do with except to argue with someone on the internet.
