I really enjoy how the left sees everyone they don't like as "literally Hitler" yet when Trump picks a fight with a literal fascist, they all lose their minds. Oh but NK is communist so im sure life is wonderful in their food free utopia
I think it's just difficult for normal thinking people to choose between two maniacal leaders - It's a bit like having to choose between being shot in the right leg or the left.
lol wut?
To even compare trump to Jung-un is laughable. It's not at all choosing between the two, one is the president of the US and the other is the dictator of North Korea. It does not matter what you "choose" Kim will not be the head of state
I stand corrected - I had forgotten that the majority of Americans had of course willingly voted for their maniacal leader where as North Korean people had their mad man thrust upon them.
First off, a majority did not vote for him. Secondly, how exactly is Trump so "maniacal" that he even compares to Kim? Where are the political prisoner labor camps? Where are the mass graves filled with dissidents ?
Oh yes your right, Trump didn't win the popular vote did he?? Now I am confused because that does sound a little like a dictatorship doesn't it???

I understand that for some people irony can be hard to grasp....thanks for helping me put my case forward.
P.s I can assure you that I understand the system. Perhaps you can re-read my posts with both of the above in mind.

We have treaties with South Korea and Japan.
I know they aren't "'Merkins", but to leave them defenseless at the hands of a madman saddens me.

Irony does require a certain level of IQ that can be difficult for some to understand. I recommend starting with comedies like Brass Eye although that might be a little advanced.

Unfortunately words in only the written form of just one line lacks the ability for good irony and just comes off as is the lowest form of wit, sarcasm...
Maybe you just need to write better... wink wink
so even iran showed up to that party
On August 29, 1950, the British Commonwealth's 27th Infantry Brigade arrived at Busan to join UNC ground forces, which until then included only ROK and U.S. forces. The 27th Brigade moved into the Naktong River line west of Daegu. Units from other countries of the UN followed: Belgian United Nations Command, Canada, Colombia,[9] Ethiopia, France, Greece, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand (16th Field Regiment, Royal New Zealand Artillery), the Philippines (Philippine Expeditionary Forces to Korea), South Africa (No. 2 Squadron SAAF), Thailand and the Turkish Brigade. Denmark, India, Norway and Sweden provided medical units. Italy provided a hospital, even though it was not a UN member. Iran provided medical assistance from the Iranian military's medical service. On 1 September 1950 the United Nations Command had a strength of 180,000 in Korea: 92,000 were South Koreans, the balance being Americans and the 1,600-man British 27th Infantry Brigade.
and its kind of rich calling us warmongers for a war we didnt even start in the first place as the north Koreans invaded the south and that's how it all got started
but eventually 15 nations provided ground combat forces, and several others army and air force units. Those nations included Canada, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Colombia, Ethiopia, France, Greece, the Netherlands, South Africa, Turkey, Thailand, the Philippines, and Belgium (whose battalion included personnel from Luxembourg). In addition, Denmark, India, Italy, Norway, and Sweden provided medical detachments. The South Koreans themselves provided a contingent of so-called “Katusas” for duty with many U.S. Army units, in addition to its own divisions, which were reformed and retrained after being badly mauled in the initial invasion and later during the intervention by Chinese forces. South Korea ended the war with three corps, 16 divisions, and nearly 600,000 men.

In this case we did, for over 50 years. Worked great for everyone didn't it?

You’re seriously comparing ISIS converts getting killed by us, to a North Korean trying to escape his country, it’s death camps, and psychotic dictator, and being shot at for it????
Pretty much invalidates everything else you posted....
Again brush up on your facts about NK, and the Kim legacy, and not just what they are telling you in safe spaces and liberal hell....
Go watch some documentaries about the country, watch some documentaries showcasing its defectors
I’m amazed at how clueless people are, and actively choose to remain ignorant just so it can jive w their cognitive dissonance and group think....

I say after this is settled with NoKo pull all US military assets out of every country and bring them back to the US. Yes it would mean a lot of money lost both here and abroad. . If Russia wants to annex in the EU that's fine with me if China want Afghanistan cool.Let the other countries defend themselves and see how much the US is will be missed.
Let’s also pull all foreign aid as well....they don’t need evil America’s money

Trust me when I say that you really do not want to see what America would be like if we were the bully so many people claim. Don't get me wrong it is a great line for ratings and upvotes and I'm certain it makes everyone feel a bit better to rag on the US, but throwing shade from afar just sounds like cowardice.
If you, or your country (which you conveniently fail to mention) has a better plan of action then knock yourselves out. It is literally one of the best times in modern history to do so, but chances are your own nation will do nothing effective until its too late. It is around this time that suddenly the big bad bully will once again become your bestest friend.
So hate on playa, hate on, cause that always solves the problem.
