We in the West certainly need a strong defense industry. China and Russia both have publicly declared their intention to conquer other countries. Just ask Ukraine or Taiwan.
But just don’t ask Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Iraq, Lybia, Panama, Afghanistan, Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen… am I right?
I wonder who was leading South Korea for like forty years after the war? There’s no way it would a fascist dictator was it? Yes, no peace treaty was ever signed. What is your point exactly? Why do you think the north has somehow less of a claim than a country that had to be propped up by the world’s biggest bully for decades?
No, do ask them. Go ahead. Some will try to outright murder you for unrelated reasons. Some do not regard the US as a threat any more and the rest will turn out to be goddam assholes you’d wish to be bombed again.
You can’t possibly be serious. You’ve got to be a troll.
Vietnam: 3~4,000,000 (not account for the the devastatinf effects of agent orange)
Cambodia: 500,000 (not counting US involvement in continuing Khmer Rouge’s massacres)
Laos: 50,000 (not accounting for the still ongoing issue of unexploded ordinances)
Korea: 2~4,000,000
Iraq desert storm: 1,000,000+
Iraq/Afghanistan/Syria: 400,00 direct violent deaths and 3~4,000,000 indirect deaths.
You’re conflating policy failures (for which he absolutely took responsibility) to wars of aggression. If you can’t see how these two aren’t the same you can’t be helped.
He has never claimed that China hasn’t murdered anyone? Neither has he opposed your claim that China killed millions (which they sure did).
It’s really sad to see this type of reactions when people try to say anything against the US. Questioning the US is not the same thing as supporting china, whatever US politicians want you to believe.
What? You clearly didn’t read the thread. This was his comment:
“China killing literally no one, absolute scum of the earth!”
Edit: Also, I didn’t try to excuse US killing. I just can’t believe that anyone would claim that China has killed literally no one and then set that up against a claim that the US has killed tens of millions.
Ah yes, America killing literally tens of million: righteous! China killing literally no one, absolute scum of the earth!
Never takes much for the shoe to drop with you people.
He might have written something else around here or he has edited the comment and then you may be completely correct. In such case please excuse me for being a bit rude :)

Korea seems like a really bad example for you, since the South relies on the US to prevent invasion.

Come on, more even the north admits they don’t want unification, just that South Korea is their number one enemy.
As for the dictator, yes the was bad and dark times. But nowadays SK definitely doesn’t want to get taken over by NK.
Yeah, since literally this year. Nearly sixty years on.
The US didn’t seem to.see that as a problem.

Huh? China has been killing tons of people in their concentration camps.
When did America kill tens of millions? China certainly did kill tens of millions under Mao. Did you make a mistake and reverse the order?

Shall I continue?
Not going to retract your comment about China then?
You’re conflating policy failures (for which he absolutely took responsibility) to wars of aggression. If you can’t see how these two aren’t the same you can’t be helped.
Found the tankie, lol!
Excusing Mao’s world record mass murders as a “policy failure”.
