Korea is a fantastic comparison to Afghanistan. Korea collapsed before the Communists as fast as the Afghans have, SVN otoh held out for 2 years while being boycotted by their former ally, the US. They were much more successful at standing up to their enemies. And THAT was what I was referring to.
The points you raise are irrelevant. Do you people know ANYTHING about history?
Why do you think Korea was divided in the first place, if it wasn't for communist aggression?
Sure but where was it going to from there? Korea had no land border except with China and Russia.
There is absolutely no parallel between Afghanistan and Korea. None whatsoever.
Its an EXACT parallel. Korea couldn't defend themselves against the Communists just like the Afghans can't defend themselves against the Taliban. That was the basis of my comparison of Korea and Afghanistan.
Korea never attacked America.
Korea was never a haven for terrorism.
Al the more reason why we could have ignored the fall of Korea. And Trumpers and the left both agree we should have. The impact on your life is irrrelevant to them.
America didn't care if South Korea became a democracy or not, as long as they served as a buffer to the Soviet-supported North.
So what? It took them 40 years according to your timeline to become a real democracy. Much longer than Afghanistan. Why give Korea so much time at such greater expense?
Korea is our longest war and no Trumper or leftist would hesitate to sell it out.
You were wrong about Trump selling out Korea. Nothing happened under the Trump administration. In fact, Korea was just as stable as ever, despite CNN declaring that nuclear war was "closer than ever" during that time period.
Trump unilaterally canceled joint military exercises to please KJU, the only Korean he actually liked. Without talking to the SKeans. That shows I was right! Trump treated the SKeans like shit just like he treated Afghans like shit ... in both cases he sold them out to their enemies and they could find out by reading the news.
The truth is that Trump was the first president in decades to not start a war with anyone. Fewer number of American soldiers died under Trump's watch than under any other president in modern history.
And when soldiers did die in his unnamed wars, the real chickenhawk blamed them. Remember the soldiers killed in African and Yemen. But those weren't real wars or something. Stories listed below to jog your memory:
