War Games: China Say It Will Prevent US From Attacking North Korea First (Is this a Game or is it Real?) - Mish - Global Economic Analysis

Done nothing?
How about:
"There was a pre-emptive attempt from Koreans to reunite their country in 1950 after resisting American occupation since 1945.

Immediately after the Japanese surrendered in WW2, the whole of Korea set up an independent interim national government.

Meanwhile the US drew a line on a piece of paper, and in September 1945 arrived with thousands of troops. Under a military governor Major General Archibald V. Leonard, they re-employed the hated Japanese police and bureaucracy, gave traitors who sided with the Japanese occupation official positions, then began imprisoning, disappearing, torturing and killing anyone who disagreed

Between 1946 and 1949, the US in effect declared war on popular nationalist and independence movements in South Korea. It is estimated that only 5% was documented by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission set up by the National Assembly of the Republic of (South) Korea between 2005 and 2015. The first and some of the fiercest opposition to American occupation was far in the south of South Korea.

One of the worst American atrocities was on the far southern island of Jeju in 1948 when the people celebrated the March 1st independence movement of the 1920s that had opposed Japanese colonization. The names of over 14,000 confirmed dead and almost 3,600 missing are recorded but 60,000 deaths are suspected. 40,000 islanders fled to Japan.

By, 1949, the US appointed president Rhee was talking about invading North Korea and demanding more US troops and more powerful weapons. The Korean army in the north, decided on a pre-emptive attempt to reunify the country. Which they did in 5 weeks except for the US defended port city of Pusan. 20,000 soldiers in the South Korean army immediately joined the North. The rest is history. America invaded again with over 300,000 troops and bombed the whole country North and South with conventional, napalm, chemical and possibly biological weapons until no building was standing in the North and few in the South. It still has nearly 30,000 troops stationed there and has never declared the war over."
Perhaps the best place for the US to start would be to give the Koreans a chance to run their own country.
