North Korea to launch 3 new satellites in 2024, as Kim warns war inevitable : worldnews

[-] intelshill@lemmy.ca 30 points 2 years ago

Kim said he would no longer seek reconciliation and reunification with South Korea, noting the “persisting uncontrollable crisis situation”.

Buried in the article is the real shocker. This would be like China saying they no longer seek reconciliation and reunification with Taiwan or the US dropping their blockade of Cuba because of "the controlled end of the Cuban situation."

Big boy throwing a temper tantrum again.. Color me surprised.

Your racism is showing.

[-] Rosco@sh.itjust.works 19 points 2 years ago

Explain how pointing out that a despot is flexing yet again is racism, please.

[-] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

Nah, you figure it out.

Attacking one person for the way they act isn't racism. Attacking one person for their skin colour or ethnicity is racism.

Stop feeding the trolls, people.

When you consider "don't be racist" to be trolling, you need to seriously reconsider your life, because that is NOT a good look.

It really isn't, though your defense of a despotic tyrannical wannabe god-king is very, very telling.

But i see this take pretty much every time a thread like this comes up.

Because they have nuclear weapons. Imagine the disaster of the Vietnam war, but with a couple of USA cities obliterated by nuclear warheads.

North Korea would be leveled wall to wall with air strikes if this ever happened. And kim knows this.

Multiple challenges to the US across the world at once, right after its loss in Ukraine. Should be interesting.

[-] cobra89@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

Lol Ukraine may not have taken back the country during its counter offensive but the US won extremely big by showing the Russian military isn't actually the 2nd best in the world, probably not even top 10.

[-] PanArab@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

How did the US win? What of the goals has ever been achieved? Russia achieved what it set out to do, and its economy and industry is stronger than ever. https://www.npr.org/2023/12/17/1219882734/russias-economy-is-going-strong-despite-sanctions-from-the-u-s-and-its-allies https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russian-has-upper-hand-arms-race-with-west-russian-minister-says-2023-12-25/

Maybe you missed that the US exhausted its ammunition supply to the point that it had to abandon Ukraine to supply Israel with weapons. https://www.axios.com/2023/10/19/us-israel-artillery-shells-ukraine-weapons-gaza

I will grant you that weapons makers have made billions from this conflict, but Lockheed Martin and Ratheon aren't the US government or the US people. The government and people got screwed, and it is a major strategic loss for the US. The US now not only appears weak, but is known to be unable to produce ammunitions fast enough.

Putin announced a "special military operation" to "demilitarize and denazify" Ukraine, claiming Russia had no plans to occupy the country. Since they've achieved what they set out to do, will they be going back to Russia?

[-] PanArab@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Technically, yes.

[-] explodicle@local106.com 1 points 2 years ago

What did it lose in Ukraine?

[-] Carvex@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

What are you going to do? Catapult starving people south across the border as artillery? A GDP of $6USD, 19 million uneducated zombies, and no way out without giving up power forever to China or SK.
