It's pretty much straightforward with a little bit of historical reference. After WW2, democrat bean counter Harry Truman was busy downsizing the U.S. Military and vowing to reduce the U.S. Marine Corps to a ceremonial detachment even after all the blood they shed in the Pacific War. Thanks to the incompetent "intelligence" agencies the U.S. was blindsided by N.K.'s sudden invasion of the South. Truman sent U.S. Troops to Korea on an illegal executive order and appointed a doddering old WW1 general (who retired ten years before) to run the campaign. Allied forces managed to cut the N.K. supply lines and the S.K. capital was retaken and even the N.K. capital was overrun by Allied Troops. N.K. ceased to be a threat and the conflict was over in about a year....but wait. The doddering old WW1 general who never spent a night in Korea decided that ill equipped U.S. Troops (thank you Mr. Truman) should attempt a campaign to the Yalu River to "unite the Koreas" in the winter in an area with the harshest winters on the globe. Meanwhile China warned the U.S. not to attempt to approach the Yalu River which was the China border but Truman apparently never got the memo. Ironically the Marines that dodged the downsizing bullet and saved Truman's ass in the Army's monumental retreat aka the Chosin Campaign while the doddering old WW1 general was threatening nuclear war with China. Korea lasted about three years while the U.S. media declined to criticize Truman's handling of it calling it the "Forgotten War" while the U.S. had to settle for an embarrassing "Truce" dictated by Chinese and their USSR allies at the cost of about 50,000 American lives. Fast forward to Bill Clinton's search for a legacy by "civilizing" the North Korean regime by selling U.S. nuclear technology allegedly to build an energy efficient country that would emerge into the 20th century and propel Mr. Clinton into the Nobel Prize. Clinton's plan didn't happen and N.K. turned the nuclear technology into weapons. The MSM wasn't too concerned about N.K.'s nuclear tests until a republican was elected and wouldn't you know the MSM suddenly decided that quirky N.K. regime was a threat.
