    So let me get this straight…the NKs blew up roads and rail lines on their own territory that could be used by their forces to move south in the event of a war?

    That’s some brilliant stategerizing there, you betcha.

      It’s almost as if NK doesn’t want war. Weird how they took a defensive posture in response to invasion of their territory by a country backed by the most war hungry country in the history of humanity.

              I remember the entire United States freaking out when a weather balloon from China went off course.

              I think they shot down three more weather balloons, including some kids’ school project.

              And that wasn’t even a drone that was powered and could be steered.

            To be clear, the accusation from the North is that the drones were there to drop propaganda, not bombs. The South denies it, but let’s assume it’s true for a moment. Why is that a bigger provocation than the balloons full of actual human shit that the North has been floating over the border?

          People abandoning places instead of improving them resulted in the US, the most destructive single country in human history by every measure.

              No, I consider a defensive action from north Korea to be a defensive action from north Korea. It is better than the US, but it being an improvement would imply they were ever on the same path. The best the US could ever hope for is some states seceding and forming a proper country.

                To be clear - you consider North Korea to be a better country to live in, with a better government and a better standard of living, than the US?

                  To be clear I think north Korea is a better country morally, with ideals the world should strive towards.
