Last I checked the Korean war didn't happen because of 9/11, it happened because North Korea, which was funded and armed by the Soviet Union, invaded South Korea with the intent of occupying the whole peninsula by force against the will of the people in the South. The US intervened on the behalf of the legitimate government of Korea, and pushed pack the Kim Il Sung's invasion back to the 38th parallel. Because of America's intervention. South Korea managed to transform itself from an impoverished and backwards dictatorship into one of the world's freest, most prosperous, most advanced nations. North Korea on the other hand remained an impoverished and backwards dictatorship that only managed to get worse because the Kim dynasty put their people through a massive famine and some of the world's worst tyranny.
If you're going to sit here and try to unironically simp for fucking North Korea of all places then kindly go fornicate yourself with a lead pipe.
