"Shitballoons, Randy!"

South Korea's military confirmed on Wednesday that North Korea had sent over more than 260 balloons carrying feces and trash to the South on Tuesday night, marking the largest-ever daily balloon launch from the North.

Some balloons were still airborne on Wednesday morning.

North Korean defector groups occasionally launch balloons containing materials denouncing the Kim Jong-un regime.

Tuesday's incident of launching “dirty balloons” is not unprecedented. A similar event occurred in 2016 when North Korea sent balloons packed with cigarette butts and used toilet paper.

Hilarious if true.

There’s been some talk of the DPRK freeing the Yeonpyeong Island from the “South Korean” puppet regime, especially since Pyongyang has on many occasions declared that the island is legally in the “North” or the DPRK, as per the ceasefire agreement because the maritime border was snuck into the agreement AFTER Kim Il Sung signed the ceasefire hoping (correctly) that the DPRK was too focused on recovering from the brutality of the war to fight back.

In 1999 the DPRK formally declared that part of liberated territory and presented their case to the UN that the US and its puppet government must either return the island, or offer to pay the DPRK with either a basket of food, fuel, concrete, medicine and fertilizer and/or negotiate a removal of sanctions. Obviously the US has refused to address it and talks with the puppet despots of “South Korea” have been fruitless given that occupied Seoul has no power over its “own” territory and that is handled by Washington’s regime.

The Anglo originated settler colonial state of “The United States of America” which is an occupied nation itself is built on top of nearly 250 indigenous nations and the corpses the largest genocide of human history with the conservative estimate of 10 million people slaughtered, or up to 95% of the indigenous populations of those nations, expressed outrage when Pyongyang earlier this year shelled the island with 350 pieces of explosive ordnance carefully calculated to cause no civilian or military injuries or casualties but also refuse to address that the occupation of the island is in violation of the ceasefire agreement.
