Western propaganda at its best. Please do some research.
If United States had taken N Korea, THEY WILL NOT STOP THERE. MacArthur wanted to march on and attack Beijing from N Korea and hand mainland China back to the nationalists. He even wanted to use the atomic bomb. There would have been another 50 years of war.
After the Korean war, China left N Korea. If Korea is what it is today, what has that got to do with China? If them N Koreans can allow such a person like Kim Jong Un to rule over them then THEY DESERVED IT. They could have rise up and take him down. They DID NOT so they love him!!!
And after the Korean war, United States just wanted to forget the war. They lost to a bunch of laundrymen per the president remark. That is way the American call the Korean war "The wrong war in the wrong place in the wrong time" Or "The forgotten war". They didn't even build a memorial until recently.
And so the South Koreans overthrow their dictator and made their country prosperous. Then the South Korean deserve it. They deserve the credit.
But being Americans, they are bought up to take credit. So they now say S Koreans being a prosperous country is all because of United States.
Gosh!
Nope, you got your facts wrong buddy. The U.S NEVER HAD THE INTENTION OF INVADING CHINA AFTER ATTACKING NORTH KOREA. Why do you think the U.S will risk an unprovoked major war with China for no good reason?? Makes no sense.
It's true that General Mc Arthur(NOT THE U.S GOVERNMENT) contemplated bombing China but this was after CHINA(pushed, encouraged and armed by Soviet Russia) entered the KOREAN WAR beside N.Korea's already defeated army. It was only this that General Mc Arthur wanted to bomb China to stopped it from fighting/helping the Kim regime. The U.S NEVER IMAGINED CHINA WILL ENTER THE WAR, if anything the U.S thought it was more likely that the Soviet Russia will enter the war instead of China. Since N.Korea was a Soviet Russian protectorate/vassal state. We should not also forget that the Soviet Union was the main country behind the Korean War, since they were the ones arming their vassal state N.Korea and soviet pilots were also crucial in shooting down american,British and NATO fighter jets in Korea.
In other words, without the soviet Union there will be no N.Korean regime, in fact there would have never been a Korean war to begin with, since where would China and N.Korea have taken all their weapons/arms with which to fight. The soviets(as a rival superpower to the U.S) were the main country behind this war.So in Korea, the U.S and allies were directly/indirectly fighting the Soviet Union, it's for this reason that the war grounded to a standstill and the KIM dynasty regime was saved.
Finally, you say only N.Korean citizens are to blame for leaving the brutal Kim dynasty rule over them, and you are comparing the Kim regime with the S.Korean government back then. lol Seems you don't understand the Kim regime at all and the ideological brainwash they have inflicted upon their people. Even if the N.Korean people were to ever break this commie ideological brainwash and take on the Kim regime, believe me the Kim regime wont hesitate to kill them all to save themselves and their government, since they know this will be a do or die affair. The ONLY way the Kim regime can be toppled is internally among party members themselves, not by a revolution/coup by the people.
Its kind of similar to Mao's China, but only difference is that the Kim regime is even far more worse in all aspect than the Mao regime back them. As in China after Mao's death, the only way N.Korea can change direction is through the communist party itself. Someone more open/moderate/realistic like Deng Xiaoping is needed to force change in the party and then the country as a whole. It won't be easy(Deng faced alot of hostility from radicals/die hard commies in the party as well), but with perseverance it is possible.
Wait I thought america and it's european dogs are so powerful and can take down any country just like what they did in Iraq, how come they can't do the same in North Korea and instead came crying to China? Woah China truly has become so powerful these days that they are the one being asked to put an end to Kim.
North Korea as i said before serves U.S interests and justifies America's massive military presence in Asia. So as it stands, the U.S is more than happy to let N.Korea carry on with it's provocations/aggression. It's China that should VERY VERY worried, not the U.S. Since the current situation couldn't be any better for the U.S. Why would the U.S wanna Kill the goose that lays the golden eggs?? lol
So N.Korea should carry on in it's current direction, if there is any country that Benefits more from this it's the U.S. Those that don't understand this simple fact, don't get what is happening in the region.
