When articles like this use the word “illegal” what does it even mean? Illegal for whom, and where exactly? Doesn’t NK as a country decide what is legal for NK, or am I being obtuse?
Probably the “international rules-based order”, where the US (and its vassals like Israel) make the rules and try to order everyone around.
Ah okay, so it’s like Mean Girls.
According to the UN, which is a heck of a lot bigger than the USA and Israel.
Illegal via the UN like Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, Gaza, and the Golan Heights.
without enforcement, the legality of something means very little… like jaywalking on the street. no one’s going to stop you but it’s totally not kosher to do that - so everyone does it
Going to have to disagree with you on no enforcement of jaywalking. I have seen that be enforced several times here in Seattle. One of those times may or may not have led to my arrest despite not being the one who jaywalked. I learned that many police have thin skin. You also need cash to post bail so if you are getting arrested and want out quickly, make sure to have $1000+ on you to do it.
Don’t the cops just take it if they find you with cash? Might not be a good idea.
I like how, as usual, this completely ignores that most of the weapons are still US made M16s, Chinese made M16s, and then some Chinese original rifles, and then in last place NK produced weapons.
Yes, but think of the headline.
critical support
North Korea supporting the side committed to ending illegal Israeli occupation and genocide, let’s go!
Few million dollars in weapons to Hamas … while Israel recieves billions in weapons contacts from America mostly but every first world country without a word.
my boy
I wish I was North Korean (Arabic poem)
The poem is not in Classical or Modern Standard Arabic, so machine translation will struggle with it and produce incoherent text.
Here’s a few verses of it translated to give you a feel of it and where it is heading. It is written by a Jordanian poet in the Jordanian Bedouin dialect. It is from 2003 in response to the invasion of Iraq and the Arab’s weakness and failure to stop it:
I wish I was a North Korean
Standing tall and head is held high
Humiliating Bush the idiot
Stomping his head with my sandals
I wish I was a North Korean
He [Kim Jong-il] did not submit or collaborate
Or he was frightened and forced to compromise
Or submit and cooperate
My head is like mountains
I wish I was North Korean
He [Kim Jong-il] said: "I have a [nuclear] reactor for you
Produces thousands of bombs
And their range reaches New York
You fool, son of a fool
I wish I was North Korean
I will burn you in the middle of your house
You and those who participated in the war
Don’t think I am [Hosni] Mubarak
Or Saddam with my idiocy"
I wish I was North Korean
I very much enjoyed that, interesting stuff.

excellent news
You know I’m starting to think this Kim guy might actually be a bit of a jerk.
Completely opposite reaction here, I think it’s cool he’s trying to stop apartheid.
“Dictator authoritarian gives lip service to the powers that they’ve always been ideologically aligned with on the world stage.”
🤡
gives lip service to
Did you read even the headline?
he’s trying to stop apartheid.
Yeah sure he, in your pretendiverse.
He’s still mad about Dennis Rodman pooping all over his weird hotel.
edit: how is this comment controversial? downvoters please explain to me why you don’t like this comment. I’m genuinely curious.
