Just when I thought this timeline couldn’t get any weirder, I’ve agreed with MTG & North Korea in the same week.
Are they wrong?
“north korea making it known why its sanctioned as fuck”
Because it has every right to be that way?
"The number of Korean dead, injured or missing by war’s end approached three million, ten percent of the overall population. The majority of those killed were in the North, which had half of the population of the South; although the DPRK does not have official figures, possibly twelve to fifteen percent of the population was killed in the war, a figure close to or surpassing the proportion of Soviet citizens killed in World War II…
Russian accusations of indiscriminate attacks on civilian targets did not register with the Americans at all. But for the North Koreans, living in fear of B-29 attacks for nearly three years, including the possibility of atomic bombs, the American air war left a deep and lasting impression. The DPRK government never forgot the lesson of North Korea’s vulnerability to American air attack, and for half a century after the Armistice continued to strengthen anti-aircraft defenses, build underground installations, and eventually develop nuclear weapons to ensure that North Korea would not find itself in such a position again… The war against the United States, more than any other single factor, gave North Koreans a collective sense of anxiety and fear of outside threats that would continue long after the war’s end."
- Charles Armstrong, The Destruction and Reconstruction of North Korea
it sounds a bit like you are blaming the north koreans for fearing us nuclear strikes.
am i as sleep deprived as i think i am?
Huh? It sounded like you were saying they were sanctioned for a reason because of supporting the resistance. I was saying they have every reason to support and fight against America and their dogs.
Unless you mean it in a “they were sanctioned because they were based” way, then I get it.

It’s insane. Israel struck first, blatantly and obviously, and it was reported as such initially. But it feels like by now the mainstream narrative has become “well who’s to say who really struck first?”
Of course they are. They’re working to manufacture our consent to regime change in Iran, which they’ve wanted since 1978 when their puppet regime was overthrown. It’s 2003 all over again.
And how could anyone seriously disagree? It’s so blatantly obviously the truth. The sheer amount of propaganda in Western media is just ridiculous in comparison.
waking up to tucker and n.korea being voice of reason while democrats are campaigning for pouring napalm on fire started by extreme right wingers of a genocider cult nation.
man everyday seems like world has become an absurdist drama. the obama years seems like they never happened
DPRK has always been the voice of reason though.
Which is why the USA will be emulating their economy 😂
Why would the US do that? US oligarchs aren’t interested in being reasonable.
While there is something understandable about partially wishing for it, I don’t think anyone is going to lead a genocidal strategic bombing campaign against the United States to level every manmade structure taller than knee height before promptly having 95% of the planet embargo them for 75 years, so I doubt the US can emulate the DPRK’s economic situation too well.
That level of isolation is the goal. Economic joke.
I don’t even understand what you’re insinuating. The DPRK’s goal is to be sanctioned? They wouldn’t be doing things differently if they weren’t sanctioned? You know they violate the sanctions constantly, and often it’s just to do some small amount of normal trade, right?
I don’t like Juche, but the point of it in this context isn’t to avoid trading with countries, and indeed to considers it better to be able to trade with countries. The goal is to be able to survive not being able to trade in the case where that’s the unfortunate reality, something that was only solidified by the experience of the Arduous March. Strategically, it is obviously something they should be maintaining and one of the main reasons they survived.
You’re right, Burgerland is an economic joke that’s becoming economically isolated globally.
I mean if the US did that people would have jobs, food, housing, and healthcare.

Even the harshest critics of the DPRK acknowledge that it has universal healthcare, housing, pretty much no unemployment (if any), and at this point, food. The Arduous March is over. That doesn’t mean the DPRK is a magical paradise or anything, but that’s in a state that was bombed into oblivion and was the target of genocide. If the US adopted more DPRK economic policies, then it would indeed see the improvements Yogthos listed.
I don’t really think you’re owning anyone here, it’s just coming across as you jumping to insults when you’ve been confronted with an alternate viewpoint instead of trying to do any research or understanding. You just jump to “Marxism bad, Marxists unintelligent.”

Complaining about “tankies” and picking fights as soon as you could isn’t nuanced at all, which is why you weren’t responded to with nuance.
I’d consider that an insult if I respected the political analysis of anyone who uses ‘tankie’ as a substitute for thought.

dronie says what?
When has north Korea not been the voice of reason
"The international community is strictly watching the US and Western forces fanning up the flames of war
Ooh burn!
Don’t they know that the G7 is the international community?
Side note: It never occurred me that the Family Guy card meme has the top section full-on #FFFFFF white.
That’s not a person, that’s a ghost.
I have a hunch that racist people would be hard to haunt because they’d just see you as a white person.
I feel like it could be a joke about Klan robes (which is also meant to look like a ghost, so I guess it’s what you said).
I have a hunch that racist people would be hard to haunt because they’d just see you as a white person.
But they would never be entirely sure since they can’t caliper ghost’s skull.
