But you went to both and got the grand tour and somehow everyone spoke earnestly to your western ears and said "we hate it here, all day I wish for some McDonalds and Starbucks democracy but the Kims are blocking progress"? Are you openly advertising that you're a spook?

It's painfully easy to figure out that the wildest stories about NK are circulated by SK as propaganda based on "anonymous sources", stuff like NK executing their football team for embarrassing the nation etc. There's never external corroboration for these tales that only fools believe without evidence but western media rush to circulate.

Also little reminder for context, SK immigrants to the US after the Korean War were primarily such far right extremist scum that they're the only group that got holed up in their exploitative little liquor shops in ghettos during the LA riots and shot back at the protesters with rifles. And low key helped start the riots when one of those extremely racist Korean shop owners shot a 13 year old black girl in the head over a (false) accusation that she had stolen a soda.

NK has nothing to apologize for, they were the victims of one of the most devastating bombing campaigns in history

Did you miss the part where pretty much the whole fucking UN lined up behind SK because they were the ones who were attacked? And how the security council voted overwhelmingly (after the Soviets stormed out, but the meeting did not conclude) to support SK? And how 63 different countries gave SK some form of direct military assistance?

But by all means - continue spewing your bad faith misinformation diatribe.

The UN lined up behind the US invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan too, UN support means absolutely nothing, try again

Also lol @ describing my verifiably accurate single-sentence statement that North Korea was subjected to one of the most aggressive bombing campaigns in history as a "misinformation diatribe", either you genuinely don't understand what the words you're using mean or you're a lying sack of shit, embarassing either way
