Just North Korean doing North Korean things.

One of these days he is going to hit something during one of his little tirades. Reminds me of a kid who needs attention every few months.

That was my first thought too. Must be time for more food drops.

[-] born2rune@feddit.uk 6 points 1 year ago

Must be running out of cheese.

[-] McBinary@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

I'd fire rockets if cheese were extinct too.

Fatphobia fun what a comedy master

[-] ptz@dubvee.org 16 points 1 year ago

When he's the only fat person in a country full of starving people, it's not his weight we're poking fun at.

[-] gary_host_laptop@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Whatever stops your crying, bigot.

[-] NuMetalAlchemist 4 points 1 year ago

How is that fat phobic? You are the only one saying he was eating to excess, everyone else is criticizing him for keeping food and aid to himself while his country starves. Dictator gonna dictator, but you are the one who brought his weight into it. 🙃👎

He is getting porky.

Aww, Porky and Pooh are next-door neighbors.

[-] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Hang on, who's porky?

Pooh was easy to guess, but I just woke up

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Kim Jong-Un. Porky or Piglet.

Thanks, not sure how I missed the obvious there...

[-] Reiea@lemmy.fmhy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

I don't understand his thinking. The US and other major countries fire off missiles just to shoot them down as target practice all the time. Not to mention that attacking a UN country would be suicide.

I don’t really understand how North Korea continues to exist. I guess they aren’t sanctioned hard enough? I guess it’s hard to get in spies? I guess it’s hard to remove Kim? They seem so weak, but they keep slowly developing into some weird sort of threat.

[-] fist_of_fartitude@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

They’re kept afloat by China, basically. Chaos in NK has the potential to spill over the Yalu and cause problems in China.Plus, Seoul is within artillery range of the DMZ, so any “kinetic” end to the regime is quite risky.

It's just not worth it for anyone to do anything.

[-] luffyuk@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

N.Korea is essentially used as slave labour by China, and is propped up by them in return.

[-] sinkingship@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Look up "bureau 39". They have installed a nice cash flow institute, that goes around the sanctions.

Pyongyang's launch comes after it threatened retaliation against what it said were recent US spy plane incursions over its territory

It also tried to launch a spy satellite in May which failed.

This is why I can't take them seriously 🙄

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Heh

I am never being let into North Korea

[-] MaShinKotoKai@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I don't understand what his endgame is. If one of these remarkably hits US territory, how does he hope to win?
