Comment on How come nobody does anything about North Korea?
Objection@lemmy.ml 4 weeks agoYou said that the Koreans “benefitted” from UN involvement, now you’re saying you don’t support UN involvement? Would you deprive Koreans of the benefit of being infected with smallpox?
Or is this another one of your word games, where I correctly understood your position, but because you didn’t technically explicitly say it it doesn’t count? The classic “motte and bailey” tactic?

You asked who benefited and I answered that. It’s not an endorsement lol. North Korea benefited from China entering the war. Do I now support Chinese involvement?
Like said, you’re getting too emotional to actually consider what is being said…

Can I just get a straight answer? Do you or do you not support UN intervention in the Korean War? Yes or no, no more evasion.

Ask direct questions, receive direct answers. No I don’t support it. I think none of the war should’ve happened.

In that case I return to my original statement. “Damn, maybe we should stop doing them then.” I don’t have any control over what North Korea does or did, but I do, at least theoretically, have influence as a voter and a citizen over what the US does, so I’m going to focus on the things within my ability to influence. And your response that “North Korea started the war” seems largely irrelevant.
