cnn fake news All the propaganda about war with NK prompted me to finally learn something about Korean history. I learned that the reason I did not know much is that post WWII Korean history is not fit for for U.S.

"The bombing was long, leisurely and merciless, even by the assessment of America’s own leaders. “Over a period of three years or so, we killed off — what — 20 percent of the population,” Air Force Gen. Curtis LeMay, head of the Strategic Air Command during the Korean War, told the Office of Air Force History in 1984.

Dean Rusk, a supporter of the war and later secretary of state, said the United States bombed “everything that moved in North Korea, every brick standing on top of another.” After running low on urban targets, U.S. bombers destroyed hydroelectric and irrigation dams in the later stages of the war, flooding farmland and destroying crops.

Although the ferocity of the bombing was criticized as racist and unjustified elsewhere in the world, it was never a big story back home..."

Jill Stein and Medea Benjamin are in South Korea assisting the anti-THAAD protesters and visiting a government that would really rather have the US bow the fuck out of their affairs now.
