    However, the report that contained the Haeju claim also contained numerous other errors and outright falsehoods.

    Yes, that claim. It’s not highly debated or anything. Like the article says

    The years prior to North Korea’s invasion of South Korea were marked by border clashes between the two countries and an insurgency in the South that was backed by the North.[36][37][38] After failed attempts to stop the fighting and unify the Koreas, North Korean forces (Korean People’s Army or KPA) crossed the 38th parallel on 25 June 1950, formally starting the war.

    There’s some dubious claims, but almost everyone agrees that North Korea started the war. This is like arguing that there’s ambiguity about climate change since there’s some scientists who don’t believe in it. Meanwhile, the vast vast majority agrees that it’s a thing.

    It’s all well and good to think “there’s two sides to this” and whatever, you want to be fair and whatnot, but it’s really unwarranted here. You’re just unwittingly giving more credence to dubious claims.
