Korea was a single nation, now it isn't. And whether China was bossing it or not, we should have stayed out of it. Actually, the Rushans started trying to spread communism. And I'm sorry (not1) for hurting your feelings Further, USA meddling isn't limited to Korea. But never mind, you prefer believing myths, so it doesn't matter.

First off, you used France's colonialism to point out USA issues.

Second, USA could have leveled Japan (we did not, we rebuilt them), we could have claimed all those islands in the Pacific, but no they are independent today, we could have kept the Philippines but we let them go, we could have kept slavery, but no Americans fought to end it, we could have ended Germany and Europe, but no we did the Marshall Plan and rebuilt them. Latin America complained they didn't get paid so we even gave them money to rebuild. We could have built a colonial empire larger than the British if we wanted (notably after WW2) but no, the USA didn't and encouraged colonialism.

If we were what you said, we would have supported UK and France in Suez conflict, kept Segregation, kept the Philippines, kept half the territory we occupied in 1945, etc.

Funny thing is, that I sometimes wish the United States would be more like you say and go Roman Empire or worse. If USA went 1939 Germany on the world, we might not be stopped because unlike Germany, we have a navy and oil.

You refer to the cooked history only. So no point in further discussion. There is so much more to it than that. In general, mainstream Americans don't want the whole truth, in some cases none of the truth. We even made two attempts to grab Canada. The first time, a 17yrs old boy stopped it by just happening to be in the right place at the right time. The second time, Canada was lucky that Pancho Villa's antic (and a false accusation by Mexican Federalists) redirected our attention southward. But forget all that, as a nation we prefer our doctored history facts so we can feel good about being the good guys that we really arren't.

The fact that you are able to get on here and post your nonsense is a solid rebuttal to anything you say. 90% of the Great Powers in the past would have had you declared a "traitor" and executed you.

What you don't want to hear is that USA meddling n Korea started long before the Korean War. It goes as far back as 1871. We literally invaded them. As usual, it was about economic exploitation. But forget, you don't want to hear the truth, you just want the feel good mythology.

Now, now, child, stop projecting your inadequacies on me. I just take a fancy to them, you know.

Thieves snatch Rep. Adam Schiff's luggage in S.F. He gives dinner speech without a suit

Senatorial candidate Adam Schiff had a rude introduction to San Francisco’s vexing reputation for car burglaries Thursday when thieves broke into his car.

I bet his diary has rings.

Likely already forged by a vast network of devious folks with supernatural abilities all coordinating their efforts and placed in his luggage without his knowledge.
