Olympics: Apology for N Korea in wrong flag row

[Boromir]

And about the flag thing: it's just really interesting how it had to be a ''mistake'' right between the two Koreas.

Not really surprised, as uneducated people cant differentiate two totally different Koreas.

Communism has been regarded as a threat, and that is why NATO gets involved to keep the world peaceful.
If communist nations have won against democratic nations in the world war, then the situation might have been the opposite.

Could you please name at least one communist nation?

If you did not understand... I was talking about Warsaw Pact vs NATO during the world war.

What world war? Both alliances were created years after WW2 ended.  :razz:

NATO and Warsaw Pact did exist in the world war but they were not officially created. You can technically say they existed. Cold war was the result of World War II, and that's why I referred them to being in the world war.

Cool story bro.

Maybe next time you go to school you should ask your history teacher to explain the reasons why these alliances were created.

Maybe next time, you should read hundreds of books about history before you argue with someone, without pretending to know things just because you've heard things from your "high school" teacher.

Do your own researches and publish papers, then you will know what I am talking about.

Another cool story.

Why would I have to research anything before talking to someone who doesn't know what he's talking about?

Prove me wrong - just show any evidence of the Warsaw Pact existing during WW2.

Maybe, you should learn English more and know the meaning of the term "Technically".

Yeah, someone who's triple-majoring in bio, psych, and history do not know anything about history.

Same as Estonia "technically" existed for the last 5000 years?

So, no evidence? I'm very disappointed.

[Boromir]

Know how to use the term correctly if you want to use it.

NATO and the Warsaw Pact: Intrabloc Conflicts

This is one of the books that I have read for my major.
As you want to discuss deeply, read this first and return.

[Jubin]

Could you tell me, what countries technically were in this WW2 era Warsaw pact?

If you really think that this is a "honest mistake" then your not right in the head.
This was a pure provocation from the west,this are the  Olimpics we are talking about  not a snooker tournament in a local pub.

Yes but the people are still human and make (admittedly completely stupid) mistakes.
Also your post is rather laughable. "Provocation".. what?

[Alsatian]

Yeah, mistakes can be made anywhere. I understand this being the Olympics and a mix up between the North and South Korean flags make this like 10x worse, but still, a mistake is a mistake.
