They should though IMO. Our job is to protect freedom. Now, to invade every country that ISN'T free just on those grounds would cost too much and make us too hated, but we should not be friendly with such countries or support them. That's why I don't think we should have truly alligned with Russia in WWII. We should have not attacked them until we killed Germany, but Russia committed mass genocide too and should have been invaded.
The job of the USA is to protect freedom?
If so, you are doing a remarkably half-hearted job.
There is a difference between dictatorship and genocide. Dictators have to be tolerated by countries like the US and the UK, but we should not support them. Those that commit genocide should not be tolerated.
Please tell me when the mass murders commited by dictators become genocide.
Just curious Arakhor, but would you be strongly against invaded North Korea? The country that has thousands of people emigrate illegally to CHINA every year as refugees, even though if China deports them they run the risk of execution for "Criticizing the quality of life in North Korea?"
Any country so unfree that CHINA has to take them as REFUGEES should just be liberated. We could use the argument that they are rightfully part of the ROK anyway.
The only three problems that anyone who knows about North Korea has with invading North Korea is:
1. China won't like it and might even intervene. Not that China likes North Korea, but a strong US ally on their border is not helpful for them, and having something to put pressure on the US during international dealings is helpful.
2. South Korea fears the day they will need to pay to fix up North Korea. If you think West Germany had a bad time with East Germany, you won't believe how bad it will be with Korea.
3. North Korea may cause damage to northern parts of South Korea, and any modern democracy is loath to bring its mainland and its citisens into a war zone.
If we can handle those 3, I'm all for taking out the North Korean government as fast as the laws of physics allows.
North Koreans have better social services than we do.
This is the only thing Domination3000 has said in this thread that I can wholeheartedly agree with.
You are really ignorant to the world aren't you? North Korea has a higher literacy rate than the US. More readied access to health care, which is also free along with education and all other basic needs. North Korea has a better education system than USA.
This is ridiculous. There is no way that you - or the CIA for that matter - can know the literacy rate of North Korea. Though I don't doubt that if you don't count with the hundreds of thousands in concentration camps you do get a decent amount who can read.
Health care may be "free" and accessible, but it is severely limited because they don't have enough equipment.
And if the US would start killing off or putting all difficult people in concentration camps I'm sure the US education system would improve statistically as well.
Why is the CCP not legit? There was a civil war, and they defeated the CNP. It would be like saying Parliament in the ECW not the rightful government even though they won the civil war.
You win the civil war, you are the rightful government.
The war was never over however... The straight of Formosa simply ceased any continued armed conflict - for the time being.
