This seems a bit unlikely and seems to be framed in the wrong way. The DPRK isn’t occupying any part of the US, while the US is currently occupying the Korean peninsula and now threatening to put it’s nukes there! When this is the starting point, it’s a bit strange to suggest that the DPRK could pick a fight when it’s already in a fight with the other party and it was that other party who picked the fight in the first place and keeps on trying to escalate. Not to mention that of the two countries concerned, one has started at least one fight in almost every year of it’s 200-year history and the other one is the peaceful DPRK.
The US is there by invitation of an allied government. North Korea can have the official position that the whole peninsula belongs to it, but that isn’t worth the paper it’s written on in the same way that Taiwan’s claim of all of China has no practical worth.
This is rather semantic. I’m not making an argument about which state or which territorial claims are legitimate. And that legitimacy doesn’t change the fact that the US has a presence in Korea – the whole peninsula is Korean, yes? regardless of which state has a claim to which part – whereas the DPRK has no presence anywhere that could be called US territory. The point is that the US is the aggressor and the DPRK is peaceful.
While the peninsula as a whole is Korean, sure. Doesn’t mean the North Korean government has any legitimate jurisdiction over South Korea or grounds to complain if South Korea invites US troops to be stationed in South Korea. And if North Korea wanted to claim that it was peaceful, maybe it wouldn’t have artillery trained on the world’s 4th largest metropolis, no?
The South Korean state is run by US generals. RoK is as legitimate as the genocidal maniacs that facilitated it’s creation and development throughout the on going conflict. Pearl clutching about peace during a multidecade conflict that is part of an even longer decolonial struggle is like concern trolling about world peace during slave revolts in the colonies.
Huh, the South Koreans don’t seem to have much noticed how evil their American occupiers are. 84% approval rating of the US from one typical poll I found.
What kind of emptyheaded debate-me-bro bullshit is this? “Well it appears the results of this poll, which will not be cited and the historical and contemporary political context for which will be fully ignored, says they like being a US colony so I guess I got ya lmao!!” Congrats on using google tho that must have been really stimulating for your massive brain.
