We all see and hear what goes on over there. Kim will execute kids if they don’t cheer hard enough at his birthday party or something? He’s always threatening to nuke countries and is probably has the highest domestic kill count out of any world leader today.
So I ask? Why don’t any other countries step in to help those people. I saw a survey asking Americans and Escaped North Koreans would they migrate to North Korea and to the US if given the chance (hypothetical for the refugees). And it was like <0.1% to 95%. Obviously those people live in terror.
Why do we just allow this to happen in modern civilization? Nukes on South Korea? Is just not lucrative to step in? SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME PLEASE!?
If you read the previous comment more closely you’ll realize that the commentor wasn’t comparing today’s NK to Gaza, but Korea during the Korean War to Gaza. That is a reasonable comparison, as nearly every standing structure was bombed.

Damn, maybe we should stop doing them then.
North Korea was the one that started the war by invading the South
You can’t really “invade” your own country. North and South Korea were two sides in a civil war, with both sides claiming each other’s territory and aiming towards unification. It’s like saying that George Washington “invaded” Yorktown or that Lincoln “invaded” Virginia.
The South did invade the North though in the US civil war.
And if you don’t want to use the word “invaded”, I guess you could just say that North Korea attacked the South, kicking off the war
Sure, the North attacked the South. In fact, the North also attacked the North. That’s generally how revolutions work, after all.
None of this really pertains to foreigners coming in and levelling the country and dropping chemical weapons everywhere and slaughtering a ton of civilians.
From the Confederacy’s perspective, the Union was a separate country.
North started the war and US and other UN troops only came in to help the South after that. The whole thing could’ve possibly been avoided had the North not attacked.
Yes, and the American Revolutionary War could have been avoided had the colonists simply accepted British rule.
This is like saying Ukraine started the war by invading Donbas
If Donbas was at the time part of Russia it would be like that. So it’s not really like that. Since North Korea actually went into South Korea with the intention of taking it over.
You think South Korea was part of the USA?
No, that’s like saying “Ukraine went into Donbas with the intention of taking it over.”
No, South Korea was South Korea. North Korea was North Korea. They had been divided since 45 and had their own governments. Both claimed the whole area but that wasn’t the actual situation.
Donbas has its own government.

What war? The Korean War from 70 years ago? Because they’ve been at peace since then, but some loonies in this thread want to go over and start trouble with them.
Not peace. Peace treaty never signed just not currently engaged
The difference between peace and an indefinite ceasefire is a scrap of paper. For all intents and purposes, they’re at peace.
Depending on your definition of peace i suppose
“Not killing each other” seems like a good place to start with that.

"Koreans started the Korean War by invading Korea, so naturally the US had no choice but to drop a ton of chemical weapons on civilian targets, to defend itself.
Also, I’m an anarchist."
Cool.
