  especially when north korea did a whole lot of nothing wrong to other countries these last few decades, while the other is keen on crashing the world economy rn.

    Definitely wouldn’t say they’ve done no wrong. The whole dispute between north and South Korea has been pretty wrong for a while. Also the shit they’re pulling with Russia in Ukraine is pretty wrong. But I see your point, looking at purely external policy NK is far superior to the US and has been for a very long time. Looking at internal policy, the US still stands higher, but not for long.

      South Korea is a US puppet state whose only purpose is to maintain our seige on North Korea, we weren’t satisfied with bombing them into the dirt because they didn’t surrender so now we’re indefinitely occupying half their fucking country. The US doesn’t stand higher than anyone.

      south korean’s army is very influenced by the us, through the combined forces. this stalemate has a big element of us imperialism, not that unlike what they briefly did to vietnam.

        This isn’t an accusation, but from your comments I’m guessing you’re what they call a tankie. I don’t personally care, as I don’t make judgements on things I know I’m not educated about. But I do have a question for someone who is not immediately opposed to North Korea: it’s undeniable that there is an ongoing and long time food shortage. I’ve been told this is due to poor internal policy, and that it is due to sanctions. If you are willing, I’d like to hear your thoughts on why this issue exists and what could realistically be done by North Korea to solve it, whether it be via some external influence or hopefully something they could do internally.

        As for your comment, yeah. That’s completely true, and I don’t really have anything to add to that, other than your enemy being wrong doesn’t make you right.

    I’d say they did much more harm to themselves rather than to anyone else. I fail to remember NK invading anyone besides an ongoing conflict with SK.
