Why hasn't the USA liberated the North Koreans yet?

Why hasn't the USA liberated the North Koreans yet?

No real reason to.

Its essentially a vassal state for the Chinese. We'd risk war with China over basically nothing. The North Koreans have nothing we want in terms of territory or natural resources.

We already have South Korea, which lets us put a military presence right by China and lets us wag our dicks at them.


we're not actually interested in spreading democracy and liberating people, or if we are, only when its convenient and suits our needs. we've propped up plenty of dictatorships when we felt it suited us better or local democratic processes didn't produce outcomes we wanted

no oil. no resources.

Would it not get a lot of respect from the rest of the world? Other countries have a bad impression of the US currently. :p

also actually invading and occupying north korea (assuming china didn't intervene) would be such a god damn nightmare. we'd lose so many people and nukes would probably go off somewhere.

countries basically have to liberate themselves. can't fight their wars for them. we tried it in vietnam. southern vietnamese barely wanted to fight, and were happy to let us do it for them.

iraq and afghanistan are the same. the locals don't want to fight. they're happy to let us do it for them. whenever they have to stand up for themselves, lots of them just say "fuck it" and run.

No oil

The people are brainwashed/not enough people realize that their government is horrible.

Can't liberate the best.

Why do you think they are not free?

No. No it wouldn't. Unless we're attacked first in a significant enough way, like they launch nukes or something.

>Other countries have a bad impression of the US currently

because we fucked everything up by invading iraq for no reason and now we've left a sucking-chest wound of a political situation in the area

afghanistan was semi-defensible as a military action.

they really aren't that brainwashed. a lot of the average citizens know its bullshit, but they know not playing along will get them sent to a camp or just outright fucking killed

people will choose order over chaos almost every time, even if the order is shitty.

>by invading iraq
and Libya
and Egypt
and Vietnam
and Nicaragua
and Cuba

because south korea doesnt have the resources for welfare to take in a country full of malnourished peasants who've never seen a doc in their entire lives

liberate the norks and then what? who's gonna take care of them until theyre on their feet?

Is Vietnam the only 'good' communist state alive today?

>Libya

requested by NATO

>Egypt

no one in the western world cares that we prop up their government

>Vietnam

yes it made it us look bad. happened so long ago that it doesn't matter. Vietnam is now kind of on our side because of the shit China is pulling in the South China Sea

>and Nicaragua

no one who matters knows or cares

>and Cuba

the embargo has become sort of an afterthought/joke. its pretty much ending anyway

>waves To amrican fagits

i wouldn't use the word "good". They're still kind of assholes over a lot of things.

they're friendly because they want us to balance out China in the area.

because USA would lose.

>requested by NATO

More like requested by Hillary faggot.

>liberate
>install us controlled puppet-state
nah, nigga they're fine let them gooks unify themselves

yes yes. very nice. cash the trump check sooner rather than later. he has a habit of not paying.

no. we'd win. it'd be kind of a pyrrhic victory but we could win.

we gain literally nothing though.

No oil.

This guy has the right answer

But ofc everyone ignores him

I'm not American.

Wikileaks recently released documents explaining that Libya was Hillary's doing. Just sayin'.

He wasn't ignored.
already said it
>The North Koreans have nothing we want in terms of territory or natural resources
>natural resources

Because they're already free you capitalist yankee fuck

What could America possibly gain "liberating" some shithole gook backwater

It's well known that Kim Jong bing Chung is love child of truMp and Hillary sent to,live with the greatest golfer in history, destined to one day rule the world

>says a mildly critical statement against Kim jong un
>be executed
"Free"

Silence! Back to the rice paddies and suck Kim Jong dick now Peon!

And the reason for that is the invasion of countries and leaving them to rot after the countries are destabilized. so no, invading north korea wouldn't be a good PR stunt for the US.

No oil. Plus slanted eyes are funny to us now and no longer scary.
