Communist China Invaded South Korea (With USSR technological help "Mig")

So, 2 WW@ "Allies" went on an expansionist tear.
USA said "HEY! You shouldn't do that!"
And we fight proxy wars.

Is anyone innocent?

If you think the USA is a "Colonial Empire",

I don't want this topic to get political. (Thanks Basil!)

I am asking questions because I want to know your opinions, not the description of the events, to which, by the way, I do agree...
And I do not understand why it is so difficult to answer them... without getting defensive.

Also "Colonial Empire" it is your term, I never said so. And I am not interested in discussing Colonial Empires or innocence of the politics. On the contrary, I assume that the politics is dirty.

I just still got no answer how (not why)...? Except for mr. Fromm's...

I'll try to explain.....Well, for instance, it is about 20 years now since USSR has gone, but our Government is still unable to convince the majority of people that one -ism is better than the other -ism (I do not want a discussion on -isms or why America/Russia is good or bad). Yet in case of US transition of majority from "one attitude" to "a contrary attitude " went very fast. So my question is how did it happened (or how did they managed) that people accepted the change (adopted the contrary attitude) so fast?

Because
a. You don't study well...
b. "HEY! You shouldn't do that!"...
c. you think the USA is a "Colonial Empire"... is nice but still gives no answer.

I am rather asking on sociology or psychology of the phenomenon...
If you have any other idea, please, give me the reasoning (other from mr Fromm's) behind it... or a link to a video/text which explains it.
