South Korea is boosting its propaganda loudspeaker broadcasts at the border after North Korea floated more trash balloons southwards.

North Korea has resumed sending balloons carrying trash toward South Korea, Seoul’s military said on Sunday.

The military added that South Korea was stepping up its anti-Pyongyang propaganda broadcasts across the heavily guarded border between the two Koreas.

“The North is launching another batch of rubbish-carrying balloons,” the South’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said in a statement, advising people not to touch the objects and report them to nearby military or police authorities.

    Hmm, that doesn’t seem like “massive” to me. And if NK actually gave a shit about that, they’d allow their citizens to access these things via the open internet, like you or me. But they can’t. Seems like their problem.

      Idk what “free and open” internet you’re talking about. All I see is a one massive advertisement that requires me to sell my soul away every time I want to sign up for something.

        Why isn’t anyone from NK chiming in but we’re able to talk about it? That’s interesting. It’s also interesting that you continue to use the internet if you hate it so much - you don’t have to use it, you can be like an NK citizen and not be able to access it. Just stop paying your internet bill and you can experience life like that!

        Add a little starvation and manual labor and you’ll be set.
