Kim said he would no longer seek reconciliation and reunification with South Korea, noting the “persisting uncontrollable crisis situation”.
Buried in the article is the real shocker. This would be like China saying they no longer seek reconciliation and reunification with Taiwan or the US dropping their blockade of Cuba because of "the controlled end of the Cuban situation."
My post comment said "NK has been impotently posturing for damn near a century why are we still entertaining them?" and it does not violate rule 1 despite what the admins say.
I disagree with your comment but I agree that it doesn't break the rules. @mods let us have a discussion with people of different opinions.
In any case, it was the Western world and the US that has been posturing. They hold north Koreans under brutal suffocating sanctions. North Korea resisting this must not be condemned.
Lol Ukraine may not have taken back the country during its counter offensive but the US won extremely big by showing the Russian military isn't actually the 2nd best in the world, probably not even top 10.
I will grant you that weapons makers have made billions from this conflict, but Lockheed Martin and Ratheon aren't the US government or the US people. The government and people got screwed, and it is a major strategic loss for the US. The US now not only appears weak, but is known to be unable to produce ammunitions fast enough.
What are you going to do? Catapult starving people south across the border as artillery? A GDP of $6USD, 19 million uneducated zombies, and no way out without giving up power forever to China or SK.
