That seems like a totally rational thing to do. Especially for a country considered a beacon of freedom and humanity around the world. Remind me again when NK attacked us?
USA! USA! USA!

They never attacked the US. The American soldiers were caught up in battle - in a foreign country they had no business being in - because there was never any declaration of war.
And even if Congress had done their job and actually declared war? It would have been an act of sheer stupidity (though technically a constitutionally valid act of stupidity).
When will we ever learn? 🤷♂️
Now do Vietnam. And then consider what censorship, autocracy, brainwashing, and propoganda does to an undereducated and undernourished populace.
All additive, but I'd say they pale in comparison to learning at daddy's knee that the Americans killed both grandpas and several great uncles.
GOHOX69 probably isn't guilty of being undereducated or undernourished, but we all get to see the prejudice he has ingrained toward Pakistanis. Is it brainwashing from his family? I doubt we can blame censorship. But imagine how much stronger those feelings would be if he felt they had killed members of his family.
It's easier to stir resentment and fear towards Americans in a that group was my point.
Well, doesn't the US have treaty obligations for the defense of South Korea?
Spell check for this site? Seriously? Do you think I care what you think of my spelling?
And 5 years after the UN recognized the Republic of Korea as a sovereign and asked occupying powers to leave.
The US did leave, the Soviet backed despotism in Best Korea invaded.
UN authorized members to intervene to defend South Korea.
US had signed and ratified UN charter back in 1945, which forbade the type of aggressive war the Norks embarked upon.
Just curious, are any of these things working out as hoped?🤣
The objectives of the UN Charter are clear. ❌
It seeks to prevent future wars. ❌
It seeks to settle international disputes by peaceful means, in conformity with the principles of justice. ❌
It seeks to promote worldwide progress and better standards of living. ❌
It seeks to achieve universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms for all men and women--without distinction as to race, language, or religion. ❌
It seeks to remove the economic and social causes of international conflict and unrest. ❌
It is the product of many hands and many influences. It comes from the reality of experience in a world where one generation has failed twice to keep the peace. The lessons of that experience have been written into this document.❌

You can't prove a negative. Would there have been more or worse problems without the UN? I'd argue things would be worse.
