Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Wtf are you talking about? China and the USSR supported North Korea, which if you recall, was the aggressor in the Korean War. They invaded the RoK.

As for America's involvement, it was hardly them acting unilaterally. It wasn't even them and a small coalition of their allies like Vietnam was. The UN Security Council voted to approve the action. You could criticise the US for their involvement in almost any war they were involved with post-WW2, but not Korea. (Criticising their tactics is one thing, and fair. But not the mere fact that they were involved.)
