I remember having an argument with a guy who said the UN should have been the Capitalist club so the UN could "enforce the law" internationally so I pointed out the horror of the Korean war and he realized how fucked up it was.
@@joshuabryant9845 He was my best friend in high school so I think I could read him, he stopped the argument then agreed and was like “yeah, maybe you have a point, I guess but seeing how the PRC is doing well now and the US stands for freedumb, wouldn’t it be a good idea now?”, so he understood the atrocities when imperialists do their things but being a lib, still wanted to uphold “freedom of democracy and economic liberty”.
everyone usually dislikes their govts in some manner but that can lead to healthy criticism and reform unlike those who spout bs like all western govts are inherently corrupt or genocidal all nations have these dark splotches not just western ones it's all govts new and old west and east north and south democratic, autocratic, monarchist, and socialist so think before you type or speak otherwise you may be in for a shocking truth you don't want to hear
Still only 18 minutes in, so not sure if this gets brought up but IRT the "You wonder why North Korea wants nuclear deterrents" point, North Korea has also explicitly used the Iraq War and the overthrow of Colonel Gaddafi as justifications for nuclear proliferation. It's easy to see why a state with tense relationships with the US would want nuclear weapons when the US and NATO are actively overthrowing governments.
In Puerto Rico the war is relatively well known cause of the 65th infantry division of the US army known as the Borinqueneers, which was mostly composed of PuertoRicans. The memory of it is a bit weird. There’s no real understanding of the war or knowledge of what it was about beyond knowing a lot of PuertoRicans fought in it, but people’s thoughts are usually either it’s absurd we had to fight there or annexationists saying we are proud of our contribution to the US army should get the recognition we deserve by getting statehood. Many are proud of it because they take it in a nationalist way like our troops were brave and survived incredible battles which they kind of did, though it often comes with a bit of anti-Americanism since our troops were conscripted for the most part and that infantry division was discriminated against very frequently and got sent on suicide missions to the point of mutiny.

@@xCobraCommanderx I'm sorry to hear that happened bro. I prolly don't 100% agree with your position from what I'm gathering, but I don't think you should be silenced for it. I subbed to your channel now tho that I actually found you in a comment. Good luck!
great episode as always! learning about the actual korean war and just how horrific it was (while my school history classes said nothing about it) was definitely something that changed my mind about how I viewed the world, especially as this was the peak fearmongering of "oh no they have nukes 😢" in the news.
Actually, Soviet troops fighted in Korean War. 153rd Fighter Aviation Regiment defended airspace, pilots operated only in the North Korean airspace and did not cressed frontline. Their succesful actions against B-29 bombers was one of the main reason, why americans did not nuked DPRK - it become too dangerous for nomb carriers.
Man all I really knew about the korean war was that it was beyond horrific for the average citizen (like my grandparents) and that MacArthur should have been dropped from the bombers he so desperately wanted to deploy
@@RoyalFusilier not if you look hard enough you can gleam true details from propaganda, so you have to pay attention to the wording and have a healthy dose of skepticism not an overdosed level of it
Sadly I had to watch this here with tons of ads since it wasn't on audible yet. Can this please also come to nebula? I don't want to support TH-cam anymore
DPRK is such a tragic country, the people didn't even receive the justice and compensation they deserved from the West, and from the USA specifically, they just left it like that...
The line of though in this podcast baffles me. As a South Korean, I am incredibly grateful of America's involvement in the Korean War. Even if there were possibly genocides mentioned which can never be justified, America assisting South Korea ultimately they led to me being able to live freely in a prosperous country rather than work an assigned job while literally starving and disconnected from the rest of the world. And the part where you guys talk about the South provoking the North first - I was taught that the North suddenly invaded South, whereas South had never provoked them. So there are clearly two sides of the argument here, and I respect your argument but I think it lacks logic. At the start of the war the North had disproportionately stronger army than the South, and also the South was totally unprepared for war. Which is why they were unable to fight back properly and pushed all the way back to Busan. Do you think a country that is much weaker militarily and unprepared for war will provoke the other side? If you think so, then I have no words for you.
As respectable and helpful that Brendan is during this episode, I find it particularly disingenuous to keep stating the ‘alleged’ bio-chemical warfare committed against North Koreans during the war. No matter how much China and North Korea say it was used, he keeps falling on that ‘might no have’. Almost as if the west needs to confirm it’s use for it to have an validity.
I'm a Marxist-Leninist and we need to liquidated liberals and social democrats aren't leftists but closeted fascists that want to save capitalism and bend over to the the class, they are the true enemies of the proletariat than the fascists ever could!

Pol Pot's genocide in Cambodia was also supported by UN
he just described NATO then

I was worried for a second every time JT releases a new video I get excited for a new podcast episode and I spent all day sad cuz there was no podcast
JT is gonna work overtime to rectify this.
It's not the same without Yugopnik slavically talking around.
26:17 he says his first sentence
I'm listening to Blowback since I fineshed this episode. Thanks!!! As a Cuban I started with season 2.
Blowback is great, glad you guys got Brenden on the show
I hope Noah Kulwin comes on in the future too
Had not heard of Blowback _podcast._ I read _Blowback_ by Chalmers Johnson. GOOD book.
ah, principal chalmers, welcome, I hope you're prepared for an unforgettable luncheon!
blowback is such an important pod. Brendan and Noah are killin' it.
Ain’t nobody gonna play my boy Kim Jong-un like they did Gaddafi!

I think he meant no ground troops were on Korean soil.
Li Si Tsin moment, Also, Wasn't the soviet pilot the one with highest score in the war?
The Soviets only put anything on the ground if they knew it was secure.
They were very conservative in their "foriegn policy" unfortunately...
They didnt wanna be seen as imperialists but we can see how that turned out, they got called imperialists by the imperialists. @@joshuamarx8209
Happy birthday Yugopnik!
Probably one of the best podcasts on this topic!
The Deprogram has made it. There are advertising every 3 minutes. Congrats.
Uncritical support for the DPRK in its heroic struggle to liberate occupied Korea from the genocidal American empire
Amin.
Never understood uncritical support for anything
Ty for the host, blowback podcast so professional, funny and sad, such impressive job.
I never knew much about the Korean war, but...fuck.
Notification comrades sound off!
God bless the DPRK and long live Comrade Kim Jong-un! 🇨🇺❤🇰🇵 ☭
Amazing Episode per Usual!!
Wow that Korean War sounds a lot like Russia-Ukraine.
Edit: 51:30 Hakim mentions similar Western narratives and Orientalist framing between the two.
This was exactly what I thought!
The level of technology between the two factions are much much much more apart
For me it was the iraq war
3:44 New Sam Satyr spelling dropped
6:10 at that exact moment, I got an NPR advert.😳
Lol sometimes it takes a video a while for the audio to kick in after it's just been uploaded
Man all I really knew about the korean war was that it was beyond horrific for the average citizen (like my grandparents) and that MacArthur should have been dropped from the bombers he so desperately wanted to deploy

How conveniant to "forget" the major war which you lost
if y'all ever have another chapo on, you should have the vape reaper join you on the couch lol
The audio is not among us
great EP
I'M NOT *THAT* OLD AND DEAF! AUDIO OFF, Y'ALL!
Edit: yay!!!!
No sound
What American history classes even teach?
Nothing
How great we are, how bad everyone else is, the usual. I'm certain every country does it, but we really do it a lot even more than the usual.
