You are assuming that this somehow clashes with American goals or strategy. America has done this a million times already. Their bombing of Korea constituted genocide. It killed 20% of the population. This time it’s someone else doing it for them. They’ve outsourced genocide many times as well, like in Indonesia. Of course in addition to the genocide of the natives that the country is built on and perpetrates to this day. America is the one enforcing this situation in Palestine and the region.
If you’re gonna keep throwing that word around, you really ought to define it.
As it stands, calling the Korean War, or more specifically the American bombings during it, genocide is ill informed at best. While the US did have a substantial role, so did China and Russia. This included boots on the ground and pilots in the air. It is true that ~2 million civilians were killed in the war though, and casualties were split roughly even between both sides of the conflict.
I would venture to say that the Korean War was no more a genocide than the American Civil war was.
Wrong. The responsibility is entirely on the United states and its lackeys. The United States made it their goal to prevent Korea from governing itself, installed a fascist military dictatorship, and destroyed the independent portion of the country killing millions. In no way are china and the USSR who supported the independent Korean state responsible for the death caused by the United States.
Wtf are you talking about? China and the USSR supported North Korea, which if you recall, was the aggressor in the Korean War. They invaded the RoK.
As for America’s involvement, it was hardly them acting unilaterally. It wasn’t even them and a small coalition of their allies like Vietnam was. The UN Security Council voted to approve the action. You could criticise the US for their involvement in almost any war they were involved with post-WW2, but not Korea. (Criticising their tactics is one thing, and fair. But not the mere fact that they were involved.)
The DPRK is korea. South Korea is a US vassal state ruled by a fascist installed military dictatorshop. The DPRK declared war on a vassal state and an invading military imposing itself on its country. The UN is a western controlled body that is not an authority on anything.
It’s funny how quickly the conversation went from Israel is committing genocide and the US is supporting them to “DPKR, CCP, and USSR did nothing wrong…”
Tankies are really weird like that. They don’t actually care about the facts, they just oppose anything that the US supports. This allows them to be on the “right” side a lot of the time, including, obviously, with Israel’s genocide against Palestine, but then you get nonsense like the above.
I swear if you could magically rip out all their knowledge of WW2 and then explained the events of the war to them, without mentioning the USSR’s involvement, they’d be siding with Germany, just to be against America.

What utter nonsense. The DPRK was as much a USSR puppet state as the ROK was an American one.
The DPRK started an aggressive war. Just like Putin’s Russia is doing today in Ukraine.

Thats what happens when tankies from .ml get involved in a conversation.
