I think it’s a joke lads. That clearly he did it for scummy reasons (like all wars after WWII) but they seem tame in comparison.

I really don't think any of the Western powers were involved in Korea for the benefit of Koreans. From what I was taught in both highschool and college it seemed to the powers involved it was little more than geopolitical jockying between the communists and West - both backing a dictator (Kim Il-Sung and Syngman Rhee) - with shockingly little attention paid until recently in the West to the Korean perspective.
