And they were right to. I'd be damned if some foreign country tried to set up a fascist client state in my homeland, especially one that was made up predominantly of the imperial overlords that were just thrown out.

Edit: got my threads mixed up. Yes, North Korea was in the right here.

I wholeheartedly agree? I was referring to how the South Korean government was predominantly made up of Japanese imperial collaborators in its early years.

Oh shit. I thought you were defending the US occupying South Korea! Got my thread mixed up!

Which has nothing to do with the US. The US created the entire concept of South Korea in its barbaric wrath against anyone that would try to do something other than white European capitalism.

Is it though? Does the US really have business in their war? (Of course the answer is yes, but only to sell them weapons)

Reading your comment history, it seems it would benefit you greatly to read history. The simple reaction you just had to the parent comment was born out of historical ignorance: you don't know the history of the region, so when you see a claim that you don't like the sound of (despite it being true), your reaction is to assume the other person is divorced from reality. In actuality, by nature of not knowing history, you are detached from reality.
