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.

I see that we are conveniently ignoring the 38th parallel and the fact that North Korea started the Korean War.
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.

You make it look like it wasn’t agreed by both the US and the USSR, which it was.

Do we consider partial Soviet occupation an “unified socialist state” now?

No it isn’t. There is no doubt that North Korea started the war, unless we are willing to be naive enough to believe that Operation Pokpung was planned and carried forth in response to “border skirmishes”. NK was stockpiling vehicles, ammo, and weapons, provided by the USSR, for a full year before June 1950.

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