Maybe this is just because now, at the end of the Cold War, Americans have a new lens through which to view the situation. Our first mistake was to leave South Korea with such a weak military set-up. The North had a trained army, tanks and weapons from the Soviets and to top it all off, their border was directly on that of Communist China. We should have known that the Russians would begin to indoctrinate the people. After all, one of the central points of Marxism is converting others.
World revolution is the aim of the whole institution.
American troops left in 1949. I can t believe that we didn t see the invasion coming. Only after I moved to this country did I find out that the US was uninformed about what was going on in North Korea before the Korean War. It was so obvious to me and my mother. First, they take our land.
