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’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.
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.
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?
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.

It hurt itself in its confusion!

What the fuck are you going on about?
Probably the korean war / imperial invasion.
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.

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?
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.
Sounds like balloons fit those descriptions to me…

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.)

You mean the shit balloons?
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.
This has to be one of the craziest takes I’ve seen on this site so far.
Hey buddy, just wanna let you know you’re pretty stupid and you might need to get that condition checked out by your doctor.
