Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea?
RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 month agoThe South did invade the North though in the US civil war.
The Maryland campaign (or Antietam campaign) occurred September 4–20, 1862, during the American Civil War. The campaign was Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s first invasion of the North.
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

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.

North started the war and US and other UN troops only came in to help the South after that. The whole thing could’ve possibly been avoided had the North not attacked.

Yes, and the American Revolutionary War could have been avoided had the colonists simply accepted British rule.

You think North Korea invading South Korea was to liberate North Korea from foreign rule…? Wut
