If you knew your history, or were around at the time, you'd know without being
told that the only reason the US was in that "police action" at all was that the
Soviet Union, during those relatively early UN Security Council days, took a
walk during one of their political snits when the subject came up for
discussion. The SC, in their absence, approved UN intervention in behalf of
South Korea; had the Soviet ambassador been present during that SC discussion,
they could easily (and undoubtedly would have) vetoed it, since they had the
right to do that as all original members of the Security Council could.

Common knowledge.


So, to answer your question, they fought in behalf of North Korea because North
Korea was one of their client states to whom they furnished all kinds of
military equipment and supplies, as well as the training in their use. They
fought for the NKs because they did not want the world to think their MIG
aircraft, in the hands of relatively green NK pilots, couldn't be competitive
with US military equipment. If they could have turned back the clock, there
wouldn't even have been a war, because they'd have prevented it from happening.
That's it, in a nutshell.

So you explain, interpret, this as an expression of
simple commercial interests ? ;-)
