It’s wild to see some of these stances. Like, I’d love it if more countries thought to help Palestine ever. But I’m baffled when a regime that is giving Russia munitions to kill Ukrainians does it. Is this a "broken clock" sort of thing?
Ukraine was shelling Ukrainians for 9 years before Russia showed up
i know this is a canned statement at this point but it's fairly weak if you pare it down this much. all it takes is knowing the Russian army deployed in & supported the donbass before the SMO, which not all but some libs are liable to remember
No contradiction there, the DPRK stands against fascists everywhere.
Why on earth do Americans keep buying this pure hookem?
Do you really think Russia - a global leader in weapons manufacturing for over a century - needs to rely on a small, largely agrarian, hermit kingdom on the opposite side of the continent for its munitions?
I swear to fucking Christ, if the US news media hears Kim fart, we get a headline the next morning about North Korea launching a lethal gas attack launched against the West.
I don’t see how NK fits into that, at all.
best of luck with the object permanence
Top right, while you are top left
They fully understand the core of international geopolitics
Diplomatic punishment usually manifests as isolating a country (e.g. sanctions). The DPRK is so incredibly isolated that it is free on the vast majority of issues to just say what it wants to say without a substantial possibility of reprisal. Obviously it is limited in what it can say about the PRC and even RoK, but what the fuck can Israel do to them? Send them some Soda Streams and then take them back? (Actually not even that, given sanctions)
Oh shit, SodaStream is Israeli.
I knew I made the right choice with DrinkMate lmao
Because Russian revanchism is a totally different situation than Israeli genocide. How is that confusing?
You would be less baffled if you had real context for what and why North Korea is.
If you would genuinely like your befuddlement to vanish, please read this book. It's an easy read.
A very short abbreviation of the relevant information is that the DPRK's very existence is the result of the Korean people resisting US imperial occupation, and so it is obvious that they would stand with other victims of empire.
DPRK is the most correct clock on Earth, they never miss
Hating Amerikkka: Based
Supporting Russia against NATO dogs: Based
Arming Palestinian resistance against Zionazis: Ultra-based
Name one time they missed
