FatBoy Kim is a heart attack waiting to happen. Just look at the state of it!

Seoul has said that if North Korea were to inflict harm upon the safety of its people, "that day will be the end of the North Korean regime."

Ending the Kim dynasty would be a truly great day.

Wait until South Korean youth start dodging conscription - “late stage capitalism”. That’s when Kim will attack the south.

Reports coming in that NK troops are deserting and going AWOL on the ground in Kursk. Can't blame them. 3000 already deployed

I don't know if that's an intentional nod to Norman Cook, but I like it.

"You're not from Pyongyang"

"Praise you (or suffer a gruesome fate)"

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has dismissed reports of North Korean involvement.

Meaning it's almost certainly true.

Another story claiming 10,000 NK troops deployed... https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/350455653/zelenskyy-says-10000-north-koreans-could-join-russian-forces-ukraine

"Praise you (or suffer a gruesome fate)"

"Halfway between the gutter...and the gulag."

Kim has been on a roll recently. Seems like he feels neglected.

Meaning it's almost certainly true.

Only in the world of biased media like the BBC. That Russia makes use of NK and Chinese manufacturing is obvious. And Korean cheap labour in e.g. construction would not surprise me at all. But the claim that NK actual military is sent to a shooting war in an environment that totally alien to them does not pass Occams razor.

No need to even click on it. "Zelenski says" is already a giveaway.

I suppose he could send the Ghost of Kiev to fight those North Korean ghost troops...

You prefer Harris to call and tell him that a) she is middle class and b) Trump is bad?

Well Putin is certainly happy to send russia's minorities into battle rather than moscovites.

Kim Jong Un calls South Korea a foreign, hostile country

South Korea says; "So what? Go blow up some more of your own roads, Loser....maybe if you're lucky we'll send some Weight Watchers snacks with our next drones"...

Leaders come and leaders go. Bridge-building among human beings has a long and rich history. Wishing the leaders and their followers harmonious on-going-ness and togetherness.

Golly, Kim's tailors must shake in their boots when he orders clothes- a mammoth undertaking by any stretch. (excuse the pun)

Those commanders look like a delegation from an aged care home.

The insane dictator of NK calls SK hostile. Got it.

The two parts of Korea should have coexisted peacefully, and should have cooperated with each other, based on the principle of "one nation, two economical systems".

SK isn't building nukes nor ICBMs. There are 9 UN Security Council sanctions against NK too. Just sayin'.

https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/un-security-council-resolutions-north-korea

The United Nations Security Council has adopted nine major sanctions resolutions on North Korea in response to the country’s nuclear and missile activities since 2006.

Each resolution condemns North Korea’s latest nuclear and ballistic missile activity and calls on North Korea to cease its illicit activity, which violates previous UN Security Council resolutions. All nine resolutions were unanimously adopted by the Security Council and all but Resolution 2087 (January 2013) contain references to acting under Chapter VII, Article 41 of the United Nations Charter.

The Korean peninsula used to be the home of three kingdoms (P, S, K.) They were united and now split into two due to geopolitics and the inability of the US led UN forces to get the job down and to quit while they were ahead.

Some nations reunify (Germany and Vietnam) and some do not. Referring to South Korea as a foreign nation is not at all inaccurate.

The US never crossed the Yalu river. A more correct statement is that China and their North Korean sidekick failed to eliminate South Korea twice.

1 ( +3 / -2 )

Yes, the Yalu River. The U.S. army and the UN forces led by MacArthur got pushed back from the Yalu River back to Seoul by a volunteer army of China. Just a bunch of volunteers.
