You’re a terrible student of history...
Commodore Perry sailed into Tokyo with nine ships in March 1854 and forced Japan to enter into trade with the United States... Russia, Britain, France, and Holland used their fleets on several occasions to defeat and disarm the Japanese feudal domains that defied them...
If the USA would have helped Japan and honored their trade agreement they forced upon Japan before Pearl Harbor, we wouldn’t be having this conversation about North Korea today.
I DO know that prior to the Soviets stepping in, North Korea was a haven for American christian missionaries. Deeming Pyongyang “The Jerusalem of the East.” Then it became an atheist hell hole, where in sofar as even being seen with a Bible you can be beaten or raped. South Korea on the other hand, sends out more Christian missionaries than any country. Second only to the U.S.
Was Teddy Roosevelt’s Nobel Peace Prize for bringing end to the Russo-Japanese war a sham?
