North Korea is treating citizens there cruelly. Why aren't nations liberating people there?
1. They have nuclear, and chemical, weapons, and are allied with a nation that has nuclear weapons. Invading them would only lead to more death and pain when they unleash those weapons.
2. I wouldn't be apposed to invading NK if we could handle the release of nuclear and chemical weapons, and the danger convention weapons pose to the SK civilians.
What about the USSR under Stalin?
Morally wouldn't have had a problem with the allies invading the USSR. The issue would be the massive military, and later nuclear weapons, that Stalin had at his disposal. Plus there is the general issue of how much was know outside the USSR at the time, given Stalin's control over the USSR and the limited amount of news that got out.
I guess communists get a free pass when it comes to murdering their own people. When should the world intervene and when should it sit by and watch under your standards?
Ideally whenever there is a genocide. Really I feel pressure should be brought on any nation that isn't democratic, and on any democratic nations that back slide. Though that would probably require the US to pressure itself.
If a nation is killings its own people and not attacking other nations, we can scold them but we shouldn't invade them (as sad as it is to know it is happening). National sovereignty has to be respected.
Nations that go around killing their own people generally don't stay peaceful neighbors.
National sovereignty is literally an outgrowth of the European wars of religion, there is no reason to religiously follow it.
