There are a couple of things. 1 Two things can be true. North korea can be a fascist dictatorship that sometimes paints itself red(they are) and the us could have killed 20 percent of all Koreans. 2. That number is a high estimate of the total people killed in the war. It’s likely that you are including a North Korean soldier sticking his gun in a civilian’s mouth, and pulling the trigger, then making the tally for the side you don’t like. Before America even joined the war. I’ve seen that before with the nazis and with the 3000 civilians killed in ukraine(2500 in government territory and 500 in rebel territory I’ve heard. In an artillery war, i sober how the civilians are dying?). You kill people and paint all the blood on the hands of the otherside. But yes, America should do better. They are committing war crimes is not an excuse to commit war crimes. Much of that blood is actually on our hands. Saying all of it is… genocide denial though right?
Edit: I feel bad using genocide denial that way. It cheapens it. Not as much as you do though, by claiming that calling a government bad is genocide denial. At least I’m addressing claims about deaths.
Edit 2: okay, this becomes possible looking at it if… you deny the exists of South Koreans. If the us caused all north korea deaths, and you ignore the population of the south this becomes a high estimate by itself… but if you only ignore the living south Koreans and count dead south Koreans as being from the north and say they were killed by the us, it’s actually a little low comparing populations.
