In any case, the Soviet Union, though able to veto this, did not do so. This was due to the fact that they did not attend that particular meeting that discussed the US's intervention, mostly since the USSR was boycotting the UN's refusal to allow the People's Republic of China (then under Mao) entry to the United Nations.

I believe the Soviets were occupying North Korea because of the Communism.
The Soviets supported North Korea during the Korean War.
When WW2 ended, Korea became a divided nation. The US and Soviet Union had withdrawn most of their troops from Korea. The Soviets gambled that the US wouldn't defendSouth Korea. So The Soviets supplied North Korea with tanks, airplanes, and money in an attempt to take over the peninsula.
Korea was a strategic priority: the Soviets were involved. Of course it was a wise decision; Truman succeeded in stopping the Reds. Today the Republic of South Korea is a highly successful member of the global free market; thanks to Truman's courage in meeting the communist threat head on!
