    Who North Korea probably still thinks is a world super-power

    This is just shitty world-building. Even if you believe North Korea is deeply weird prison country where people eat rats that eat people and push trains, the leadership knows what’s going on in the world.

        I remember as a kid when Saddam Hussein was bad, one of the propaganda things about him was in private he’d wear a cowboy hat and watch US movies. Like that’s how they need to Portray Kim Jong-Un. Slipping out of his leader’s uniform to put on baggy blue jeans and fire up MTV etc

    Liberal fanfiction, this is idealism in action.

    Side note, for any DPRK-heads, is there actual risk of war with ROK? Seems to me DPRK is hunkering down after giving up on reconcilliation, not that they are escalating, it’s my understanding that neither side wants war.

      They’re responding to a drone dropping propaganda on them last I heard and they blew up a roadway leading south. So there goes any real talks for now I’d imagine. Still SK are bastards for trying what they did.

        They’ve also dissolved peace talk committees, to my knowledge, and are severing diplomatic ties. This to me seems more like hunkering down, you’d figure they would keep talks open during wartime as the goal would be to have favorable surrender conditions for the ROK to the DPRK. Just my uninformed guess, that’s why I am asking if anyone knows more.

    This is unfortunately not a parody. I know a significant amount of people who truly, deeply believe this. They truly believe that Russia is simultaneously the puppetmaster behind all the world’s evil and suffering and yet so incompetent as to be a failing state and laughing stock

    Plenty of people I know personally believe Russia actually ordered the attacks on Israel specifically to distract the US and redirect weaponry from Ukraine to Israel

      When I was in grade school I read a lot of Tom Clancy and spoiled the ending of debt of honour to my grade 5 teacher

      I think he was part mad because I spoiled the ending and part mad that he was reading the same geopolitical thrillers as a 10 year old
