      Look man, when you drop so many bombs on a country that people start living in caves, and your own pilots start complaining that there are no targets left to hit, I don’t think you get to position yourself as the good guy.

      Is North Korea a place with a troublesome political culture and a cult of personality problem? Yeah, but if you wanna know who’s fault that is, go look in a mirror.

        OK? Did I ever say differently? Again, US = bad does not mean NK = good.

          You’re conveniently forgetting that the 38th parallel was an arbitrary border drawn by some white guys on a map, and that Korea was, albeit incredibly briefly, a unified Socialist state in 1945, prior to the externally imposed partition of the peninsula.

          Further, while the north did cross the 38th parallel, border skirmishes went on before that point, and who truly “started” the war is murky.
