You have very strange look on history.

North Korea appears because of Russian intervention, lead by Joseph Stalin.

Taliban was toy movement, nothing serious, before Russian intervention to Afghanistan in 1978.

You should understand one thing - US, Britain, France, even modern Germany are really strong players, but Russia after 1917 becomes small player with inadequate ambitions, so Russia could not play solo. And because of this, Russia constantly tried to break games of strong players, or as it named now - they try to break world game.

US after WWII becomes something what Russian named world gendarme (this is direct translation), so US have to spend resources and send military to other parts of world, to keep peace there.

BTW answer question (yes, this is test) - why do you think, mostly US military was in Yugoslavia (center of Europe), not European?

I’m not talking about why North Korea was created in the first place - I’m talking about why it’s still there.

As for Russia or Yugoslavia - you are doing the same thing Putin’s shills like to do, which is changing the subject. We were talking about China.

It is impossible to understand, why North Korea still exists, without understanding, why it is appear - these things tightly coupled, unfortunately.
