after getting bored and fed up with playing rockets, we can tell our spoiled boy is playing with feces and trash now. This is all they dare to play, nothing else

I don’t get what benefit this serves NK. It just proved to the world that they are so impoverished that they need to use human waste as manure. The South Koreans analyzed it.

views South Korean civilian leafleting activities as a major threat to its leadership

Mighty weak leadership if it views leafletting as a major threat, sounds similar to the leadership of NK's creators in Moscow and Beijing, among other cults of personality throughout history, including today, but then maybe it's mighty weak people that prefer living under the iron heels of authoritarians, rather than being free individuals that are want and are able to make their own choices and choose their own belief systems.

GuruMick:

Childish behaviour from both sides.

I would like to see something like this rather than exchanging deadly fire powers.

It's theatre to control the proles. Take their minds off property prices and taxes. SK could take out the NK regime if it wanted to, but the two regimes depend upon each other to control their own citizens.

Another example of commee-dipstick.

Childish behaviour from both sides.

I must agree with @GuruMick, both sides acting like schoolyard bullies, but a dangerous game that if it escalates too far or fast, they can loose control and spiral into yet another conflict.

The world has too many conflicts as it is. No more, please. Let cooler heads prevail.

It's a stupid game, a tug-of-war. Not a real one. NK throws balls of doo-doo, SK blasts anti-Communist jibber-jabber into the air. How about broadcasting their awful K=pop music instead? That would be fighting trash with trash, fighting** dirty! **

Shopping malls play Perry Como music and similar to keep loitering teens away.

SK...do you think this might work ?

Here we go again. A war of propaganda deafening loud speakers. And you guess it. Workers party, Party favors and balloons. I guess were skipping the cake and ice cream.

You know what? Allot of cardboard this time in these balloons.

There is rumor something very suspicious and harmful maybe laced in the card board. If its true.

Seems like the North has stepped up the harm level in this batch of helium filled bags of goodies landing on our streets and rooftops of our beautiful city.

I saw this with my own eyes.

Disgusting and horrid smell.

I wish all conflict in the World were based on sending each other balloons or blasting your neighbor country with music. The war mongers and weapon industry would bankrupt and we can not allow that to happen, right?

How daft are the North Korean leaders, do they also have a Ministry of Silly Walks?

-3 ( +1 / -4 )

Childish behaviour from both sides.

Am I the only one who thinks that ?

What's next...teasing and name calling ?
