>Also, the Korean war was clearly a victory for the US; we intended to defend SK and prevent the spread of Communism, and that’s what happened.

Nonsense. A clear victory would be if South Korea held its frontline near the Chinese border, instead of being pushed back to the 38th parallel.

The Korean war was a stalemate. It wasn't a loss, but it wasn't a win.

I think the meaning of clear victory is certainly murky, but to call it a stalemate is just incorrect; it was definitely a strategic victory.
