The US behave very badly after World War II. The Koreans under their guerilla leader Kim Il Sung had driven out the Japanese. However, because their leader was a communist the US set up a separate govt under US protection and refused to leave their occupation of Korea. War started up and were it not for General MacArthur's brilliant strategy with little help from Washington, the Americans would have been driven out by Kim Il Sung.

Later, we saw the futility of trying to defeat the Korean guerillas and the Chinese. We negotiated for a truce but have refused to negotiate to settle the war and peace. Our puppet govt was corrupt and hated by the people. We might have lost the south if the people voted against their corrupt govt. Kim Il Sung in contrast was seen as the savior of Korea against the Japanese.

We supported the corrupt govt against so-called communists (their political enemies) until peace broke out with Russia. Now, no negotiations are supported by the US. Bad, bad, bad.
