    It’s one of those things where yes, you can recognize that the US supported an inhumane regime in the south that was at least 50% the reason why Korea was pushed to civil war,

    Bruh, the South Korean regime before democratization was terrible, but the human rights standards of either Korea had very little to do with why civil war broke out. Both Koreas agreed that there was only one Korea, but the Soviet occupied North had already established itself as a ML regime and was uninterested in the UN supervised elections.
