North Korea is a post-apocalyptic society, and by those standards they’ve done remarkably well for themselves imo.
Imagine if some foreign power killed 20% of the US population and turned literally every settlement and piece of infrastructure to rubble. It would be Mad Max
More importantly, imagine if after doing that the US was completely blocked off from world trade except for, like, Mexico and Brazil.
i can only hope that the people of DPRK receive even an ounce of a crumb of justice for the decades long smearing that the entire west gleefully takes part in.
A lot of the people that died in the nuclear attacks on japan were korean labourers forced from their homelands.
Up to 100,000 and they were basically slaves.
Now that I think about it, it’s gruesome that the US keeps going on about how evil the DPRK is. Even if all the propaganda was true, they would’ve killed a fraction of the number of Koreans killed by the US.
The US caused more dead koreans than dead japanese and technically the koreans were allies of the us lol
If anyone’s learning this for the first time
, that’s 20% of North Koreans.Based on how insane the US went for 20 years after 0.001% of their population died on 9/11, it’s not hard to explain any genuinely true funny stuff about DPRK.
People don’t deep it enough. Thats 20% wiped out. Infrastructure destroyed to an extreme degree. Thats barbarism
80% of buildings north of the 38th parallel were flattened. Curtis Lemay famously reported that they had to stop bombing because they ran out of targets (military or otherwise). The North had resorted to moving their whole society underground, and in many of the population centers that had been targeted by US attacks the only remaining people who needed to hold the terrain were literally living in caves and surviving off of scraps.
Absurd. And didn’t they want to nuke China to get the victory in the Korean war aswell? Korea may damn well have been nuked with that ordinance they got hit with
MacArthur wanted to nuke China and to irradiate the DPRK-China border to prevent crossing it.
Of all the campaigns of my life, 20 major ones to be exact, [Korea was] the one I felt most sure of was the one I was deprived of waging. I could have won the war in Korea in a maximum of 10 days… I would have dropped between 30 and 50 atomic bombs on his air bases and other depots strung across the neck of Manchuria… It was my plan as our amphibious forces moved south to spread behind us—from the Sea of Japan to the Yellow Sea—a belt of radioactive cobalt. It could have been spread from wagons, carts, trucks and planes… For at least 60 years there could have been no land invasion of Korea from the north. The enemy could not have marched across that radiated belt.
Yeah, outside of radiation, the effects were the same as carpet nuke bombing, plus inconcievable amounts of unexploded ordnance that killed way more people than radiation did in Japan, and all kinds of other primary and secondary destruction consequences happening when you literally flaten a country into the ground.
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again: all attempts at “legitimate” criticism levied at the DPRK by Western entities are akin to beating a dog within an inch of its life, keeping it trapped in a cage for years, and then mocking it for moving with a limp.
I send libs the Korean War season of Blowback to blackpill them on America. It has worked pretty well on the ones who actually took the time to listen to it.
Ask a lib if they know what happened on Jeju Island and they will only know the name from watching Squid Games
Then the lib starts talking about solo leveling
Note that in almost every single manhwa North Korea is either completely absent from narration or getting killed offscreen.
It’s a miracle they saved 80% of the population tbh since essentially all of their infrastructure and buildings were destroyed
uncritical support for the DPRK in its heroic struggle to liberate occupied Korea from the genocidal American empire
