U.S. & South Korean Aggression On DPRK Risks Massive Conventional & Atomic War

Photo: Cheju 1948, leftist and suspected leftist prisoners awaiting execution by the U.S. imposed dictatorship of Sygman Rhee in South Korea. 60,000 people were murdered in Cheju with U.S. backing. That was one fifth of Cheju Island's population. For the next 50 years it was illegal in South Korea to mention what went on in Cheju. Before U.S. troops were sent into Korea in 1950 to prop up Rhee's dictatorship, Rhee rounded up another 200,000 leftists and suspected leftists from across South Korea and executed them in a desperate attempt to save his unpopular capitalist dictatorship. In response to these provocations, the DPRK invaded the portion of Korea controlled by the U.S. imposed government and nearly drove those butchers from their country. Between 1950 and 1953, U.S. troops escalated the U.S. war against the Korean people with, among other crimes, drowning Korean towns in oceans of napalm and murdering 5 million people. That imperialist war still has not ended.
