At least 10 alleged U.S.-based facilitators have been federally charged, including one active-duty member of the U.S. Army, for their alleged roles in hosting laptop farms, laundering payments and moving proceeds through shell companies. At least six other alleged U.S. facilitators have been identified in court documents but not named.
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.
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.
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.
on the topic of us external policy: 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’m actually still learning about north korea. yes, not unlike cuba, they suffer from the blockade and lack of sufficient land. they used to very heavily rely on the ussr for food, and when it died, their food distribution collapsed for a few years.
i can’t tell you in good faith about their modern internal policy, or the veracity of modern hunger claims because i don’t know enough about it yet.
I just realised that the tankie point of view may be described as thinking countries should get what they deserve based on past wrongs regardless of how many people get thrown into the meat grinder due to the current reality.
i’ve gotta admit libs come up with the some of the best strawman out there.
i think countries deserve things based on CURRENT wrongs too, silly.
Yeah it’s in the name. They like the idea of an ideological war. They think it’s necessary and that’s once it’s done they just need to suppress dissent and everything will be fine.
