on the topic of us external policy: south korean's army is very influenced by the us, through the combined forces. this stalemate has a big element of us imperialism, not that unlike what they briefly did to vietnam.
This isn't an accusation, but from your comments I'm guessing you're what they call a tankie. I don't personally care, as I don't make judgements on things I know I'm not educated about. But I do have a question for someone who is not immediately opposed to North Korea: it's undeniable that there is an ongoing and long time food shortage. I've been told this is due to poor internal policy, and that it is due to sanctions. If you are willing, I'd like to hear your thoughts on why this issue exists and what could realistically be done by North Korea to solve it, whether it be via some external influence or hopefully something they could do internally.
As for your comment, yeah. That's completely true, and I don't really have anything to add to that, other than your enemy being wrong doesn't make you right.
I just realised that the tankie point of view may be described as thinking countries should get what they deserve based on past wrongs regardless of how many people get thrown into the meat grinder due to the current reality.
Yeah it's in the name. They like the idea of an ideological war. They think it's necessary and that's once it's done they just need to suppress dissent and everything will be fine.
