So let me get this straight…the NKs blew up roads and rail lines on their own territory that could be used by their forces to move south in the event of a war?
That’s some brilliant stategerizing there, you betcha.
It hurt itself in its confusion!
It’s almost as if NK doesn’t want war. Weird how they took a defensive posture in response to invasion of their territory by a country backed by the most war hungry country in the history of humanity.
in response to invasion of their territory
What the fuck are you going on about?
Invasion by drones flying over their capital. It’s in the article.
Then I guess the North invaded the South when it dropped garbage balloons on it.
That was in response to South Korea dropping propaganda in the North. North Korea complained that the propaganda drops were littering the countryside with trash.
I’m not sure why what it was in response to matters. If a drone over another country’s land is an invasion, so are a bunch of balloons full of trash.
What’s the difference?
What’s the difference?
You don’t see the difference between a drone and a balloon?
A drone is a weapon of war. A drone can collect surveillance, or even deliver a payload to a target.
But even if you want to consider a balloon an invasion, the South still invaded first when it aerial dropped propaganda.
Minor airspace violations are not an invasion.
I remember the entire United States freaking out when a weather balloon from China went off course.
I think they shot down three more weather balloons, including some kids’ school project.
And that wasn’t even a drone that was powered and could be steered.
(But maybe Biden just needed a distraction from his poll numbers that week.)
To be clear, the accusation from the North is that the drones were there to drop propaganda, not bombs. The South denies it, but let’s assume it’s true for a moment. Why is that a bigger provocation than the balloons full of actual human shit that the North has been floating over the border?
You mean the shit balloons?
Probably the korean war / imperial invasion.
Why don’t you move to North Korea, tankie?
People abandoning places instead of improving them resulted in the US, the most destructive single country in human history by every measure.
And you consider North Korea an improvement?
No, I consider a defensive action from north Korea to be a defensive action from north Korea. It is better than the US, but it being an improvement would imply they were ever on the same path. The best the US could ever hope for is some states seceding and forming a proper country.
To be clear - you consider North Korea to be a better country to live in, with a better government and a better standard of living, than the US?
To be clear I think north Korea is a better country morally, with ideals the world should strive towards.
It’s a tantrum…The world is ignoring them.
On the one hand I applaud them for fighting car dependency but on the other hand blowing up rail is inexcusable.
That’s just posturing. The ruling class in NK is much too comfortable right where they are to risk all of it in a war.
Shouldn’t ML be hard for NK?
Now I want to hear from the Russian agency telling South Korea to calm their rhetoric after they announced they saw North Korea preparing for it. So someone can tell them to shut the fuck up next time.
