How so? By dividing Korea and ensuring permanent US military presence? Because South Korea was and to some extent still is quite authoritarian and massacred a lot of democracy protestors over the past 80 years.
The Korea war ended with two authoritarian states, as they keep being at arms with each other.
If there hadn’t been outside meddling maybe we would have a unified, strong and peaceful Korea.
Also, if we decided it was a good idea, then it should have been decided by Congress! Presidential overreach has been a huge issue for decades, Democran and Republicat alike. Fuck our congress. They are not doing their jobs.
We should have never been involved in any of that shit since WW2. 125 bad decisions don’t justify an additional bad decision.
I agree on most, however I’d say the Korean War was a net benefit to the US, Korea and the region.
