  1. North Korea is a joke. Could literally just drop pallets of food on their troops and watch their army lose cohesion. Like hey cross the line and defect and we will feed you as much as you want. Army dissappears over night.

  2. The way North Korean’s r treated should be a crime against humanity & shouldn’t be tolerated anywhere in the world. 😢 I truly dnt understand why the UN or anyone hasn’t saved them yet.

  3. A road that hasn’t been used to any meaningful capacity in years. Not necessarily means of North Korean escalation but rather a symbolic act.

  4. we need to be careful, if war breaks out all 3 square blocks of North Korea will come to Korea to yell at us and beg for food.

  5. There will eventually be another Korean War but it will depend on China. When China goes to war North Korea will too and China really wants Taiwan. The US is currently supporting two wars, one in Ukraine and one in the middle east it would be a prime time for China to make a move. However, China is also struggling so we will see how the future unfolds.

  6. When you consider the meeting between Putin and that leader of North Korea, you can bet a further distraction along the South Korean border was asked for.

  7. Right now is the ONLY chance for NK, China, Russia and Iran to gain something… They need to fully open all fronts and still it´s almost imposible for them to defeat the West…

  8. All the ROK forces need to do is set up a buffet , and the incoming forces will stop. They can airdrop Kombini rice balls and shrimp crackers. They're so malnourished.

  9. Has anyone seen Rocketman lately? He looks like he’s eating all his people’s food. They’re so malnourished that they won’t have the strength to fight a war.

  10. they are destroying the sth korea rds as too many escaping north korea to sth korea!! 'but as Kamala says 'North Korea we will always be friends and allies ' geo politics not her strongest subject so god help us if she's elected NORTH Korea will be celebrating 😂😂

  11. well….what can I say. North Korea will strictly do nothing! All of this was a bluff, it's just to put more fear into their own population… the madness of someone who took over half of a country for their own benefit. If one day this person's bluff ends and he gains courage…. it will be the end of him and those close to him and he knows this and will never risk it! You will be remembered by the world for how ridiculous your character is.

  12. Hahaha, Kim knows the US election is coming up and he wants some attention. In his mind he hopes to instill some fear and get some sort of concessions or aid.

  13. Tell him they're sending the balloons full of rubbish because South Korea keeps sending paper pamphlets over the border to tell them in North Korea that their life suck and it's horrible for them and they suck as people cuz they're not friends with people in South Korea

  14. Why even bother with diplomacy at this point. North Korea is going to break any deal it does. They always do. And its been reported North Koreans are helping Russia in Ukraine. Not good.

  15. Kim's going to make sure not one grain of rice makes it to a starving population. Dear leader is a genius for destroying the infrastructure
