What about some of the recent plans to invade or intervene in North Korea by the U.S. in the last or so.

You mean by loudmouth Trump?

In an interview I listened recently, even John Bolton said he opposed doing a regime change war in North Korea.

The PRC Government has never threatened, or intimated a direct threat, of invasion of either South Korea or Japan since Mao Zedong drew breath.

I agree.

To be fair, Bernie Sanders is a Social Democrat, not a full-out Socialist (at least not anymore). He's much more in line with the New Democratic Party of Canada, the New Zealand Labor Party, the Labor Party of Israel, the Parti Socialiste, the Social Democratic Party of Germany, the Labour Party of Norway, the Labour Party of Ireland, etc. (the Australian Labor Party and the Social Democratic Party of Austria moved too far to the right, the Labour Party of the UK did so under Blair and Brown, and then went sharply to the left under Corbyn, and I'm not clear on where they stand now). But, I certainly agree that Sanders is a far better candidate than Biden, but the U.S. electoral and political is so wretched that every first Tuesday of November I am thankful for not being eligible to vote down there.

Also the Justice Party in South Korea perhaps. I remember that in their debates, Sim mentioned Sanders and Corbyn.

However, Europeans seem to view Bernie as a centrist.

Also, to be fair, I support abolishing the CIA (probably one of the darkest sides of America).

I know absolutely nothing about Columbia other than generalizations, some Spanish, and Pablo Escobar. I request a transfer to Bulgaria! As I have a blood relation and know much more about them. 😛

Actually, you do.

There wont be need for veterans affairs when I abolish the military, because there will be no more wars.

No, I was referring to talk at several points in the last decade or so of a potential U.S. invasion of, or intervention in, North Korea for various reasons proposed. I thought I made that clear in the first line of my post above, which makes your response a bit confusing.

   I doubt that is likely, though. Even Conservatives in South Korea are opposed to an all-out war. Nixon had an idea of dropping a nuke in North Korea, but he eventually decided not to. I don't know if Ford, Reagan, Bush Sr. had much interest in Korea. Reagan maybe a little bit, but I have never heard him being for attacking North Korea. Carter wanted to pull out the troops from South Korea which is why there was tension between him and President Park Chung-hee (BTW, it's funny liberals poke at Trump's rhetoric about Kim Jong-un, but don't notice Carter's praise of Kim Jong-un. Why, pulling out US troops from South Korea, praising Kim Il-sung -- sounds somewhat like someone in the UPP. To his credit, his statements about Kim may have been merely diplomatic rhetoric.). There were possibilities of war on North Korea in the Clinton Administration, but Carter eased things (so maybe credit should be given to him). Also, the Clinton Administration was supportive of Kim Dae-jung's Sunshine Policy. The option of a regime change war was flirted with occasionally by the Bush Administration in its early days (I have read that Bush became more favorable to peace talks later, but I don't know much about that part).  Obama doesn't seem to have taken much interest in Korea. He did do some sanctions. Trump has talked about war with North Korea, but that seem to have been mere rhetoric.

Also, when South Korea opposes a war against North Korea, the US is unlikely to intervene/declare war, etc. Cho Won-jin was for an regime-change war, but he is unlikely to ever become President.

As I've said a few times on this forum, and a few times elsewhere, the world's largest, most prolific, and most well-funded terrorist organization. Which, among several reason, made it's, "essential tool," role in the War on Terror one of the reasons that, "war," was a humiliating defeat from the start - just one, like Vietnam, that had to be dragged out to cause mass unnecessary death, destruction, ill-will, and cause of endless war crimes and Constitutional violations.

While he was U.S. President? Kin Jon-un hadn't been born yet. Or did this praise come after retirement.

Oops, sorry, Kim Il-sung.
