Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea?
Objection@lemmy.ml 1 month agoThat’s what you support, yes.
Not sure if you’re more or less of a psychopathic monster for acknowledging it.

What war? The Korean War from 70 years ago? Because they’ve been at peace since then, but some loonies in this thread want to go over and start trouble with them.

Not peace. Peace treaty never signed just not currently engaged

The difference between peace and an indefinite ceasefire is a scrap of paper. For all intents and purposes, they’re at peace.

“Koreans started the Korean War by invading Korea, so naturally the US had no choice but to drop a ton of chemical weapons on civilian targets, to defend itself.
Also, I’m an anarchist.”
Cool.

North Korea was the one that started the war by invading the South
Objection@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
You can’t really “invade” your own country. North and South Korea were two sides in a civil war, with both sides claiming each other’s territory and aiming towards unification. It’s like saying that George Washington “invaded” Yorktown or that Lincoln “invaded” Virginia.

The South did invade the North though in the US civil war.
And if you don’t want to use the word “invaded”, I guess you could just say that North Korea attacked the South, kicking off the war
Objection@lemmy.ml 1 month ago
Sure, the North attacked the South. In fact, the North also attacked the North. That’s generally how revolutions work, after all.
None of this really pertains to foreigners coming in and levelling the country and dropping chemical weapons everywhere and slaughtering a ton of civilians.

This is like saying Ukraine started the war by invading Donbas
RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 month ago
If Donbas was at the time part of Russia it would be like that. So it’s not really like that. Since North Korea actually went into South Korea with the intention of taking it over.

You think South Korea was part of the USA?
No, that’s like saying “Ukraine went into Donbas with the intention of taking it over.”
