If the US withdraws from South Korea, the war will resume overnight. We've maintained a force of betwen 25,000-100,000 troops in the area for the entire 68 years of the armistice. Korea isn't a success. It's still a nation officially at war, and the only thing preventing the war from going hot is US intervention, at the price of trillions total to the US taxpayer, meanwhile the people of North Korea, due to US sanctions lack basic food, medical services, and power. We're directly responsible for turning NK into one of the worst third world shitholes to live in on the planet. That's what you consider success?
Vietnam is a great example? The Vietcong won, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam rules to this day, SK dissenters were tossed into concentration camps, the story is as old as Marxism.
And most of the end of your post is sheer nonsense. Do sovereign nations have the right to self-govern? If so, then they do. The CCP has never in it's history acknowledge Taiwan as anything other than a province of China. It's well within their rights, as a sovereign nation, to assert their authority to take direct governing power into their own hands. If the UN wishes to formally acknowledge that the ROC is a legitimate government and that Taiwan is an officially sovereign state, then it needs to do so, and form a coalition to legally defend Taiwan from invasion. However, the UN has released no such resolutions. Whether from a legal standpoint, economic standpoint, or military standpoint, the US has no standing to involve itself in this conflict if we agree that a sovereign nation is indeed sovereign. If you do not acknowledge the right of sovereign nations their sovereignty, then you promote the idea that the US should actively attempt to become a world Authoritarian regime. AKA, we govern everyone, destroying all sovereignty, and putting us in the position of the new Authoritarian Empire.
You've not considered a single thing carefully or logically. You're merely pro-war because "reasons".
Imagine not understanding sarcasm on a basic level
