> Genuinely, what makes the US untrustworthy if not Trump?
We invaded Korea, and then Vietnam, and a few hundred other interventions that don't seem to be sanctioned by the international community. All because of a hardon for ideology that doesn't seem to actually reflect the interests of the people who live here.
- asdff 5mo agoMost of those were sanctioned by the international community. Look at the participants.
- throwaway27448 5mo agoWe had the international community on a leash after WWII. This means nothing.
- asdff 5mo agoLeash or not, there was international support as a fact.
- throwaway27448 5mo agoGreat. I'm happy you're willing to recognize our fucking empire for what it is
- red-iron-pine 5mo ago> We invaded Korea what a terrible bad faith arguemnt N Korea invaded the south and the UN voted to create a joint force in there to defend it.
- stickfigure 5mo agoNot only is this true, there are about 50 million people in the south who are incredibly grateful for US involvement. And about 26 million people in the north who are, on average, several inches shorter than the southerners due to the end of US involvement.
- throwaway27448 5mo agoThe people in the north aren't worked to death tho
- nephihaha 5mo agoErm, yes they are. There are generational camps as well where people live because their parents and grandparents offended the Kim dynasty.
- throwaway27448 5mo agoWhat evidence of this is there? We have plenty of evidence of the working conditions of south korea, however.
- throwaway27448 5mo agoWe forcibly inserted our forces onto a peninsula to support a state that exterminated hundreds of thousands of people that nominally opposed it. If you want to call this something other than invasion that's your choice. We can all judge what character your faith takes
