    America and the USSR agreed to partition Korea along the 38th parallel after liberating it from imperial Japanese rule.

    Your protratal of the US deciding on a whim to butcher the poor north Koreans then impose a separation on them…

    Not afraid of straight up contradictions are you. Did the US impose separation or not? Koreans never agreed to that

      Of course they didn’t. However, the alternative was the USSR and China wanted all of the peninsula, and I’m assuming that since the Koreans in the southern part of the nation were the first ones fighting to stop that, they didn’t like that option either.

          I don’t remember the exact wording, but they basically said the Koreans probably didn’t want to be split in two by the USSR and United States.

          Which is fair, considering South Korea still has a lot of people who want better relations with the North, they just don’t want to give up their freedoms to become serfs under a monarch.

            Huh, surprised they got banned since that seems to be broadly true esp in context of your second point, maybe it was a different comment that got them nuked

              They were evading their ban. They’ve made hundreds of accounts because they get banned constantly for being a dick to everyone they consider American.

              I keep calling them out and reporting them every time they do so, and they’re getting very upset about it. Apparently I’m a snitch that needs to die lmao.
