    Don’t get me wrong, I support ROK. What they don’t say is the leaders of South Korea after ww2 were collaborators with the Japanese which lead to a lot of Koreans not supporting the gov’t. ROK was an anticommunist dictatorship for many years until the 90’s. It’s an important point to understand when studying Korea.

      While all the collaboraters grew fat off selling their country out, most of the freedom fighters died penniless, fighting the Japanese to their last breath in Godforsaken Manchuria, and without even a body for their families to hold rites for. All of my grandmother's uncles suffered this fate. And Westerners tell Koreans to get over it, that it was in the past. I personally will never forget this history, and I will ensure my descendants never forget either.

    Another point not often thought about is that a peace treaty has not been signed. So doesn’t that mean that if forward, a breakout UN resolution is still active and would require previous participants such as Turkey, Australia, Belgium, the Netherlands, and other countries that participated in 19 50-53 war?

    North Korea did in fact export their Nuclear Weapons Technology, under the guise of "disarmament" in circa 2002, they shipped a reactor to Syria in secrecy in return of some 2 Billion USD from Iran in Cash allegedly. Said reactor was built in utter secrecy on a separate isolated grid. The Reactor was destroyed in Operation "Outside the Box" 2007 by the IAF.

I am sure that I would have watched this when I arrived in South Korea back in 1968, but instead I was sent to South Vietnam to fill a position in an intelligence unit as an officer in the army there attached to the 11 Corps Zone based in Nha Trang.

    I have lived in South Korea since 2003 and often have Koreans come up to me and express their appreciation for the intervention of the UN forces under the leadership of the United States in the Korean War. Without that intervention, all of Korea would have been united under the leadership of North Korea and the whole of the country would have been communist in the style of North Korea. We forget that within one month of the time when the UN joined the war, nine tenths of South Korea had been over run by the extremely motivated and trained forces of North Korea that had been recently allowed to return to North Korea after fighting in China with communist Chinese armies. The end of the civil war in China occurred one year, 1949, before the invasion, June 1950, of South Korea. Russia provided the T34 tanks and the arms while a year prior, the U.S. troops had left South Korea, and South Korea there for had no tanks. The South Koreans were at a major disadvantage at the start of the Korean War and that explained why the North Korean forces were so successful in the first month and one half of the invasion.

    North Korean soldiers are well-trained and very motivated.
    Their doctrine and capability of military generals might be questionable. But their weapons work and very durable. War in Africa, Middle East, and Ukraine have proved the quality of Soviet weapons.
    China always help poor victim countries in natural disaster. Russia has good fame in helping others fight terrorists.
    The country has done well fighting the threat from S. Korea the the US.
    They always conduct military drill near Demilitarized zone, the drill is about bombing and attacking North Korea conducting near North Korean border!
    I wonder what would happen if Russia or China regularly hold joint military drill near US' border or water near US coast on the scale of tens of thousands with real weapons. The drill has the US military as imaginary enemy, the military exercise is to attack US heartland with the first strike policy. 'We must safeguard our allies - Mexico and Cuba. We must contain the US for the sake of world peace, ' said Chinese/Russian generals in joint military exercise.
    The big bully does not want peace in the Far East, huh?! It must be suck living next to a 'US ally(satelite state).'

    Wrong and biased history. These guys say the United States defeated Japan. Then they preceed to say that the USSR invaded all of Manchuria, Shakavilin Islands, North Korea and the Kuril Islands and crushed the Imperial Japanese military there.
    All regions where the bastion of the Japanese Imperial military was based in😂
    How come can you claim you defeated Japanese when you then admit thst the Soviets destroyed the cream of the crop of their Imperial military forces bastion?
    Secondly they forgot to mention a lot of details such as the fact that all the leaders that emerged as the South Korea were Koreans who had served in the Japanese military as Japanese Collaborators during WWII. Many of them had been involved in terrible war crimes against the Korean people and other Asian peoples when they served in the Japanese Imperial military.
    Meanwhile communists were the resistance forces against Japanese Imperial occupation during WWII.
    Moreover, as soon a the Koreans who collaborated with the Japanese during Japanese colonial occupation took over they began to target and killing communist sympathizers, forbade the forming of any trade unions in the South.
    They also forget to mention how the United States carried out a genocidal incendiary bombing campaign of North Korea that literally killed 3 million Koreans, thst targeted civilians destroyed entire North Korean cities, towns, infrastructure and unleashed unimaginable destruction and devastation on the Korean people in North Korea.
    Historically North Korea was the industrialized center and mining center of the Korean Peninsula.
    South Korea was the agricultural and food basket of the Korean peninsula.
    North Korea was also outperforming South Korea economically up until the mid to late 1970s.
    After what happened in Ukraine in 2014 I will never believe on face value what any American historian says about the history of any place.
    I always make sure I do my own research and listen to the people of the region about their own history and what truly happened.
    There are a few exceptions, but American historians like to tell the history of places in a way that makes themselves look good and other countries and people's not so good.
    The relationship between South Korea and the United States is a pure tributary vassal one.
    South Korea is nothing but an American tributary vassal state without any independent foreign or defense policy.
    So is Japan and Taiwan. You can say anything about North Korea, but they refuse to subjugated to American Imperialist rule like South Korea does.
    There is a lot of things we hear about North Korea and they are all false and untrue.
    Even a lot of testimony we hear from North Korean defectors is colored by let's just say US, NED, CIA funding.
    All Korean and Japanese leader are vetted by the CIA and the US government before they are allowed to be leaders of their own parties.
    Take everything you hear about North East Asia from so called American experts with a huge grain of salt as speak to local people and historians to hear their own perspective.
    That is my advice.

      SigManRi, the leader of South Korea in the first decade and one half after 1945, never collaborated with the Japanese. He spent most of his first 60 years in the US. He received his Ph.D from Princeton University. He was extremely anti communist and pro democracy while having dictatorial tendencies because South Korea was under great threat from communist forces both within and without. He saved South Korea from communism. He was also very strong willed and often disagreed with the US in his anti communist policies.
