    Well yes because America had been pushing North Korea away.

    The classic American imperialists refuse to accept that by sanctioning a country into oblivion they will now just join China and Russia’s side.

    Most Americans don’t even know why North Korea is so hostile. We bombed them into oblivion during the Korean war.

    What the fuck is this revisionist history?

    North Korea invaded South Korea in 1950, after the South refused Northern rule. The UN stepped in (90% American forces) pushing the North Koreans nearly to China’s borders, at which point China entered the war, and resulting in the 38th parallel armistice border we have today.

    North Korea wasn’t pushed into China’s welcoming arms due to American anti-nuclear proliferation sanctions of the last twenty years, and “being bombed into oblivion” is often the result of picking on countries with bigger allies than you, just ask Germany and Japan.

    China has propped up the Kim dictatorship dynasty for the last 70 years, feeding their starving masses while the Kims focus the country’s resources on military spending, including nuclear development to substantiate their annual saber rattling. Allowing China to maintain a buffer state, that’s kept the West at bay since 1951.
