The previous Kims used to do the same saber rattling about developing weapons but didn't actually follow through for the most part, or would offer concessions on what they had done in exchange for aid. The current Kim just keeps pushing forward with weapons development and the international community has not quite responded in kind to it yet.

Trump tried to reset relations with them (a worthy attempt I thought, even if I hate Trump) but it produced nothing. Biden hasn't really done anything about them (foreign policy for the US has been pretty distracted from NK lately).

What's the answer? More sanctions? Just let their people starve until they rebel or the nation collapses? I don't think there are any good answers. I suppose the best might be that China reigns them in somehow but I don't think even they have the pull necessary to do it.

A pulitzer prize winner claiming something that contradicts mainstream reporting is news whether you like it or not.

He might had been lied to, he might had gotten foolish in his old age, he might had taken money, or, he might be right. Who knows, but it is newsworthy, again, whether you like it or not.

As for your claims that new york post is a tabloid, there are also lots of tabloid post here in r/worldnews. So obviously this sub doesn't mind it.

Article on failure of initial convoy said they were using maps from 60s/70s that were missing entire towns.

If they didn't stop they sure weren't providing that Intel to their invasion forces.

Wanted: new leader. Someone thin who doesn’t starve his family. (Pounding on the door, gunfire.) Never mind.

Perfect distraction from his dismantling Rule of Law.

Hey just a quick heads-up that both of you are acting like dorks, regardless of who is wrong or right.

Just thought you should know.

They love the taste of boots my friend

Then why is Ukraine talking to India?

Is French Guyana under NATO protection as well or is it excluded?

Pride is a very dangerous thing (spirit). They’ll burn the world and everyone in it bc of pride.

How about "the US is prepared to recognize anyone who hands Bin Laden over to us as de facto leaders of Afghanistan at the point of transfer. Go. We'll be making a trophy."

Tongue firmly planted in cheek, if that wasn't obvious to anyone.

No doubt there was an interruption in service during the early 90s, but also no doubt KGB Putin got the trains running on time again.

I disagree only on the idea that fighting Russia conventionally will lead to massive casualties. IF we imagine a fairy-tale world which Russia does not use nukes, I don’t see too many reasons why the result of an invasion of Russia will not be similar to an invasion of Iraq. Even the planners of Desert Storm expected high casualties and a long stalemate before eventual victory…we know that the exact opposite happened; and Iraq was a formidable enemy.

I’m not saying I’m sure it’ll be a cake walk, but nato, and the US in particular has the technology, the weaponry, and the operational conduct to win these conflicts not involving nukes.

Not even close. Nor will it ever be.

The leaders constantly feast while the people starve. The north Korean dictator and his family are all fucking fat.

I agree with you on this. It’s totally crazy as dictators they are always looking over their shoulder and they should be holding the world hostage

Desiring to fall

Is this advice for Putin and Lukashenko?

Down to floor?

Ok, a unicorn might be worth fighting over.

Korea invaded Korea?

Clearly nobody except armchair diplomats on reddit believe that
