Crippling sanctions and the military presence are because the war never officially ended.
Learn history.
At the time of the Korean War, Korea was one single country.
The only seperation was an administrative one, after WW2 Japan gave up Korea, and two Allied countries were given the task of overseeing the transition from Japanese rule, to independence. The US in the South, and their (at the time) ally the USSR in the north. It was just a made up line.
Then the US ends up basically installing a US-friendly brutal dictator into power, and claimed it to be the government for all Korea.
The massacre was committed by the government forces of president Syngman Rhee and falsely blamed on the communists led by North Korean leader Kim Il Sung. The South Korean government made efforts to conceal the massacre for four decades. Survivors were forbidden by the government from revealing it, under threat of being treated as communist sympathizers; public revelation carried with it the threat of torture and death. During the 1990s and onwards, several corpses were excavated from mass graves, resulting in public awareness of the massacre. Half a century after the massacre, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission investigated this among other incidents that were largely kept hidden from history, unlike the well-publicized North Korean executions of South Korean right-wingers.
This was the instigating event behind the civil war.
This the was instigating event behind the civil war
No it wasn't, and it wasn't even one event.
There were literal years of border skirmishes before the North invaded on the 25th of June, 1950. The Bodo League Massacre is the name for a series of purges of suspected communists that began with an order from the SK President on June 27th, 1950. Two days after the North Invaded.

If hating tankies means you have to support fascist dictatorships, then I guess I'll never hate tankies.

Luckily it doesn't.
It is very possible to dislike more than one thing.
Why do you have to defend the fascists in this specific case, then?
I did not defend any fascists. I pointed out innacuracies in the prior posts.
Ask the other poster why they felt the need to lie to make their points.
