    those countries are lights in the dark

    That’s what North Koreans see at night when they look across the border towards South Korea.

      The US prevented a democratic unified korea and killed 20 percent of all Koreans. MacArthur had to have his nuclear command secreted away to prevent him nuking Korea.

      Read about it or if youre not into reading listen to the blowback season.

        The war was even more devastating to the South. It’s their incompetence, not US bombing.

        They were(and still somewhat are) being backed by commie friends who were also as incompetent and, as the op says, not even commies but just dirty dictators.

        South’s growth, while the U.S.s’ (and Japans’) support was crucial, cannot be simplified by that.

        And even if U.S.s’ bombing is the only reason they’re failing, who’s to blame? They started the war that even other commie dictators thought that it’s one of the stupidest war to start from one of the stupidest dictators in the world, Kim Il Sung.
