So why is South Vietnam so villified but South Korea isn’t? I’m so confused.
Why is western involvement in Korean war seemingly “good”, but western involvement in Vietnam War = “bad”? At least that’s what I hear from the American Liberals.
Are these both “good”? Both “bad”?
I never really understood it.
Short answer: South Korea was invaded by North Korea, and then defended by the UN (including the USA).
South Vietnam was formed in defiance of the international agreement to hold national elections for the future of Vietnam, and then supported primarily by the USA in the continuation of a civil war.
Sometimes the USA is on the right side. Sometimes the USA is on the wrong side. That’s how history - and the national interests of powerful states - goes.
Also, Usa is not western world, they’re the largest third world dictatorship
Edgy
So provocative
