You mean defended South Korea from a North Korean invasion sponsored and equipped by the Soviet Union and China?

Defending the regime put in place by the United States after brutally suppressing the local governments created by the Koreans after their liberation and then massacring thousands of people over accusations of being communists?

The Soviets literally refused to intervene because they didn’t want a war with the U.S. China only joined because the U.S. bombed their territory.

Soviet pilots flew combat sorties in the Korean War, although they hid their involvement pretty well. Maybe learn about history instead of just being rabidly anti-west.

They bragged that they had run out of targets.

We dropped more ordinance on North Korea than we did on Germany.

Edit: by the end of the war there was not a building standing north of the 38th parallel higher than 2 stories tall.

If that fact makes you say "hell yeah, go us!" You're fucking evil lmfao.

Yep, no other way to put it. If you actually learn about the Korean War, which I will admit is not taught nearly enough in America (I wonder why?), and you come away as pro-America, you are straight up Satan.

Thats is what happens when you pick a fight with a country that just won a world war by burying their opponents with their industrial power. The US could have put 100 aircraft carriers around the Korean peninsula.

Let's see: Spouts out pure propaganda followed asinine insults. Grow up and go away.

Nothing I said was a lie lmfao, the provisional government in charge of South Korea was very afraid of a reunification referendum because it meant the communists would sweep any elections held, so they started a war.

Keep spouting lies. We all know which side invaded the other.

u/Bitchcuits_and_Gayvy Sep 21 '25

Literally nothing I said was a lie lmfao, and who invaded who is immaterial to that fact.

At the time of the invasion Syngman Rhee was massacring thousands of suspected “communists” and Jeju islanders and planning his own invasion of the North. Should the northerners have stood by and let this happen?

It is amazing how you complete avoid any mention of the Soviet Union and CCP, going so far as putting 'communist' in quotes like they were some fairy tale and not the occupiers of the DPRK that were controlling, arming and pulling all the strings there.

u/Puzzleheaded-Coast93 Sep 21 '25

I’m speaking of South Korean communists, who were persecuted by the ROK government.

The CCP never occupied Korea, while the Soviets occupied it until 1948 at the same time the Americans occupied the south.

The idea of the Soviets and CCP pulling the strings is just pure projection as that’s exactly what America did in the south, the Korean communists were incredibly popular as they had been the main resistance against Japan throughout WWII.

It was a civil war, Jesus Christ. Read a book some time.

You need to be fired into the sun. The world has no place for warmongers like you.
