Please please please don't tell me people actually believe this. Some of the things you are saying here are laughable. I'm pretty sure people in Palestine, Korea, Chile, Cuba, Syria, Iran, Guatemala, and any other states where the USA has decided it should stick its gun in would have some choice words for you.
- twoodfin 13y agoKorea? Seriously? If there is a clearer example of the benefits of the U.S. world role after 1945, I can't come up with it.
- Mordor 13y agoMass starvation and huge prison camps, yeah I bet they're overjoyed with their US 'benefits'.
- twoodfin 13y agoI don't think you have a clear understanding of just which competing hegemonies ended up influencing which parts of Korea...
- mathieuh 13y agoWell, in 1980 Pyongyang was one of the most efficient cities in SE Asia while according to US officials Seoul was a heaving mess of "sweatshops to make Dante or Engels faint", and in 1948 ~100,000 Koreans sympathetic to the North were rounded up and put in prisons (~30,000) or concentration camps (~70,000).
- twoodfin 13y agoLinks would help your case but seriously: You'd invest in 1980 Pyongyang rather than Seoul? You are a crazy person, even without the benefit of hindsight.
- thecoffman 13y agoI'm assuming he means South Korea.
