Idk man, I’m no fan of the whole Kim cult of personality thing. But anyone with a cursory understanding of modern Korean history could see that the foreign policy actions of the DPRK are largely quite rational, if also informed by the trauma of the Korean war.
The United States dropped so many bombs that Koreans took to living in caves. American pilots complained that there simply wasn’t anything left to bomb.
I think what’s actually cringe is sitting on your computer and being a smug prick about it
Nothing about the current North Korean regime or the Kim dynasty is in any way, shape, or form logical, rational, or justified. The Kims are unhinged tyrants who have fucked over their entire country to give themselves power.
The very notion that war “trauma” leads to totalitarian regimes like this is nonsense made up by Marxists to justify the existence of this indefensible regime. There have been soooooooo many countries that went through war since WWII and were devastated by it, and none turned out like this.
Sorry, there was also a plane that hit a pentagonal building, and one that hit a field. Still not much compared to having your entire country bombed to rubble.
It’s one thing to say that the history of the DPRK is unfortunate and that whatever happened shouldn’t have, it’s also another to say that whatever their handling of the situation, no matter how poor, corrupt or unhumanitarian is therefore justified.
Perhaps not justified, universally, but I’m not going to make a sweeping generalization one way or another. Reliable information about internal DPRK dynamics is difficult to come by anyway, when you have to sift through defecors paid by South Korea to make their accounts more shocking, and made up nonsense about haircuts
For the things we do have solid evidence for, namely DPRK foreign policy, You have to take these things on a case by case basis, and place them in their proper historical and political context.
Going around and calling the DPRK a crazy rogue states is at best ignorant of the contributing factors, and at worst actively racist and orientalist.
Never was.
Cringe

America went crazy over planes flying into a couple towers and started two wars over it. Now imagine it was every building in the country.
That’s a creatively disingenuous way to describe 9/11

Once again, that’s a very disingenuous way to describe 9/11
How so?
