By eachother! And they're kissing and they're boys and they're boys kissing uwu

I mean, in fairness, conscription by threat of deadly violence is a thing that can and has been enforced throughout history (eg Ukraine right now). There's no reason to think it applies here, but it's not an impossible thing to happen.

Invisable Kim family ghosts.

But maybe a tiny bit critical of their web design though

Why, Comrades, must I click the camera icon to see the inspiring images?

North Korea would really expose their asses

They're already extremely racist when it comes to the DPRK, it will just become more annoying.

You must be our political liaison after defecting to the DPRK in the event it happens.

You see, nothing ever happens. Therefore you'll be fine

Important details needed... How long are you there?

What happens when a Nothng Ever Happens object meets a Weeks When Years Happen force?

historically, the chinese are always either invading the korean peninsula, or they're defending it. as of now, north korea is the only country with which china has a mutual defense treaty (of note here is that north korea recently signed a mutual defense treaty with russia back in june). political arrangements aside, it has been and will remain a major geostrategic imperative so long as china retains control of the northeastern provinces, one whose importance is comparable to or likely even exceeds that of taiwan.

I don't understand this comment. The link is to an official press statement from the DPRK government saying that more people are joining the KPA.

Who is posturing? What is the posturing? Are you saying that the DPRK is posturing when they themselves are saying that DPRK is preparing for a full war with ROK?

I'm not sure how far you want me to go back. The US and ROK (South Korea) do military exercises on the border of DPRK 2 times every year since at least the 1970s to provoke the DPRK. One of the larger military exercises is called Ulchi Freedom Guardian. During Biden's presidency, the Biden regime has been increasing the size of the military exercises on the DPRK border.

In July 2023, the US deployed a nuclear armed submarine to the coast of Korea. This was the first time since the 1980s that a US nuclear weapon had been deployed to the Korean Peninsula.

Over the span of 2024, there were several exchanges between the North and the South. The south would send anti-DPRK propaganda leaflets to the North by balloon. The North sent balloons carrying garbage back to the South.

At the 2024 NATO summit in July, Biden hinted that he wanted to expand NATO into Asia, potentially adding South Korea to NATO. DPRK has also released press statements saying that Biden is trying to create the "Asian-version NATO".

On October 11, DPRK spotted a drone in DPRK airspace which was filmed dropping anti-DPRK propaganda leaflets. DPRK has been telling ROK all year to stop dropping propaganda into DPRK. http://kcna.kp/en/article/q/d5483a1b74ad535c0736a5751b9e1bf2.kcmsf

On October 15, DPRK announced that it had confirmed that the drone was owned by the ROK and promised to retaliate. "We secured clear evidence that the ROK military gangsters are the main culprit of the hostile provocation of violating the sovereignty of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea by intruding into the sky over its capital city. The provocateurs will have to pay a dear price."

On October 16, DPRK demolished the roads and railways which connect from DPRK to ROK.

DPRK has been warning ROK to stop provocations for quite a while. The provocations are backed by the US. The US is doing provocations around the world by expanding NATO in Europe and arming Israel in the middle east. It seems to me that the US is trying to create as many conflicts as possible to maintain global power.

It needs an air of deniability, like Kingsley Shacklebolt

kcna.kp is an official website operated by the DPRK government. DPRK made the translation themselves. DPRK owns the .kp TLD. Every website that ends with .kp is a DPRK website.

As a side note, it is known that the DPRK uses their own Linux distro called RedStar. If you inspect the http headers of kcna.kp, it says the web server is running on "Apache/2.4.25 (RedStar4.0) OpenSSL/1.0.1e-fips PHP/5.6.2". The website says that it is running on "RedStar4.0".

Let's go through the options for a China-USA proxy war:

-Indian-Chinese border: geographically impossible, politically way too dangerous

-Xinjiang region: tried it already lol, local Muslim population cannot be swayed to USA's side

-Taiwan: this is the one the military-industrial complex really wants, it would be very cool for everyone operating killer drones (less cool for the hundreds of thousands of innocent people who would die). Pros: lots of $$$ for contractors. Cons: crosses a big red line vs. China. Not happening.

-Korea: this is the most likely place for something to pop off, instigated by the USA. South Korea is completely corrupt and tied to the USA, North Korea is very closely tied to China. US military is 100% willing to "fight to the last South Korean," like in Ukraine. Pros: Attacking China without directly attacking China. Cons: calling the North Korean nuclear bluff, possibility that millions in South Korea are vaporized or inflicted with nuclear induced burns and cancers. Really depends if state department thinks North Korea is a paper target or not. Attacking a nuclear power is insane, but there's not that many places left for the USA to go... IMHO a 1% chance of something popping off there in the next 10 years, higher than Taiwan (0% chance).
