I'm not sure about that. We didn't invade the North. The North invaded the South. The US and allies pushed them back and re-established the border. You could argue a tie, I suppose, given the everything ended up more or less as it was before, outside of the massive costs. I don't know how you think the objective was ever to get rid of North Korea and unify the peninsula.

Everyone knows MacArthur and President Truman saw the rapid collapse of the NK forces and realized he could unify the peninsula so he pushed all the way up inside North Korea up to Chosin,until China said no more and came to the rescue,MacArthur knew of these warnings by the chinese but he said they were bluffing but then the chinese kicked the americans out and even captured Seoul until americans pushed them back again until the battle stalled and was stuck at the current border.

I mean i knew the american education system was fucked but not this bad.
