3 February 2021 - Korean War 2

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Another lesson of the Korean War is to never, never get into a fight over something that outside powers care about. If allies pile in on both sides, you suffer more in the war and lose your influence over how it continues and ends; see Syria and Libya. Since outside powers care about everything, start no fight at all.
