Not sure the downvotes are fair. You’re certainly not wrong about the underlying reason that the US supported it.
But I do think it’s a bit off base because it ignores the fact that this wasn’t an attempt to ideologically spread communism, it was an attempt by one communist country (backed by two other much more powerful communist countries) to invade and force their style of authoritarian communism onto their neighbour.
The Korean war was about preventing the spread of communism.

Sure but the situation in south Korea at the time was horribly unjust, I don’t think there were good sides in that war.

Still not really any business of the US though, is it?
Well, if they were asked by the South Korean government for help…
Sure. And those communists had an army back by their powerful Communist ally invading…
