minus-squaregustofwind@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16arrow-down7·3 months agoDid someone invade North Korea recently?
minus-squaremathemachristian[he]@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up21arrow-down1·3 months agoYeah, the US did. They’re still considered at war since no peace treaty has been signed the US is officially still at war with them.
minus-squareBiteSizedZeitGeist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down4·3 months agoSo I’m not in tune to the same news you are, I guess… when did the US invade North Korea? Please don’t be snarky. I’m asking in good faith, I’m genuinely curious and trying to be open-minded.

minus-squareBiteSizedZeitGeist@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down4·3 months agoNorth Korea invaded South Korea knowing that South Korea had the US and UN as allies. North Korea almost won at the outset too. I’m just looking at Wikipedia, that’s my go-to for better or for worse. Do you have an alternative source that I could look at that mentions genocide?
minus-squareCowbee [he/they]@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 months agoThis is an excellent overview of modern Korean dynamics by tracing Korean history. In addition to destroying 80% of buildings in the north, allegedly using germ warfare, sabotaging crop yields, and more, the US Army also slaughtered Koreans in the south, such as the No Gun Ri massacre.

minus-squaregustofwind@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down8·3 months agoOk how about this Have they been invaded since their permanent borders were established in 1953?
minus-squaredavel@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up16arrow-down1·3 months agoAgain, very convenient: only an invasions are to be considered. Thank you for making my point.
