North Korea is not a victim of the United States. It did start the war by invading the South. But the prosecution of a justified war was rendered… problematic by the extent of destruction. Something like 20% died in three years. www.wilsoncenter.org/article/new-...

(I don't know the comparable figure for the South. Perhaps it's unfair to blame the US, if the other side was just as brutal. It was a weird war, with the South almost completely overrun—so brutalized—then the North the same, then back to close to status quo ante. Perfect for pointless destruction.)
