    I’m talking about the leadup to the war, I’m not denying that the north invaded but it didn’t happen unprovoked or even unjustified.

    Just because you’re korean and have some personal connection doesn’t mean youre immune to propaganda or that your countrys history hasn’t been misrepresented for propaganda purposes.

      The leadup to the war which is Kim Ilsung wanting to rule South Korea by invading with superior military force? I’m not saying that you denied the North invading. I’m saying your reason for the invasion is wrong.

      And surprise, surprise. I knew you would show up with a Wikipedia page to prove the South bad. First of all, I’m not saying he’s the nice guy. He did bad stuff. Doesn’t make Kim Il-sung anything more than a crazy massacring dictator who definitely started the war and then almost peed himself for what might happen to him by the Soviets after being colossally stupid and starting the war. He was so sure he could win and then scapegoated one of his guys for the failed attempt like a bitch.

      And why do you even bring up Jeju uprising? Armed commies tried to take over the country. Civilians were dead, yes. Blood is on commie’s hands too.

      Just because you’re korean and have some personal connection doesn’t mean youre immune to propaganda or that your countrys history hasn’t been misrepresented for propaganda purposes.

      And you are immune to propaganda and know more about the history of my country because…?

        Kim Il Sung was a war hero who liberated the Korean peninsula from the Japanese, and almost liberated it from the USA. You’re incredibly ungrateful because it’s thanks to him that you’re allowed to speak Korean today.
