I have to say, it’s a compelling take.

Didn’t realize this was the first time the US went to war without congressional approval. It’s kind of poetic how the US was “fighting for democracy,” and also devaluing its own without by acting unilaterally.

    You should check out the podcast ‘blowback’, their last season was all about the Korean war. Over ten hours of great, us-critical (i.e. fair) history and unlike their other two seasons I was shocked by how little of this stuff I remembered/was taught in school

    Douglas macarthur was a crazy motherfucker lol

      Came here to say that. Blowback should be required listening for students. It’s really insane what has happened to Korea, unconscionable
