A user has made us aware of an error in a world map shown in the video at 12:55. The map of Russia cuts off part of Siberia and wrongly shows Crimea as part of Russia. Crimea is part of Ukraine and was illegally annexed by Russia in 2014. This is shown in the map at 13:21. Thanks for pointing that out!
Crimea is part of Russia. In the 1991 referendum Russians living in Crimea legally voted to join Russia but the vote was never ratified. The population of Crimea want to be part of Russia.
@@amunra5330doesn't work that way, otherwise so many countries would vote to be part of the USA. Also, by your logic, no Russians should be allowed to live anywhere else in the world because they would just vote to be part of Russia, and Russia will be glad to invade.
You transferred Crimea, which is actually controlled by Russia, to Ukraine, and you transferred Taiwan, which is not yet independent, from China. You really have two sets of standards.
A solid video but it’s obvious the clickbait title was thought up later - no strategic or tactical reasons given as to why a war sooner than we think is actually what he wants
One possible reason if they actually were going to do it: if they knew (or speculated) that China will invade Taiwan soon, it might be a good idea for them to time their attack for the same time when US and the rest are already busy dealing with China. Maybe all 3 have some understanding: Russia goes first and they watch what happens, then China and NK follow.
N Korea is relatively peaceful compared to the one country everyone bIindIy follows. Not that I like N Korea - I don't. But I do find it interesting how the west portrays them as warrmongers. Coming from them, it really is funny.
The Ukraine war has allowed North Korea to sell its old outdated missles, rockets, artillery, ammo, and firearms to Russia. So that they can replace their stockpile with brand new ones. Plus it gives them insights into how their military equipment works in a war setting. So the war has been heavily benefiting them.
@@g4m3r222bro i hope you grow up soon and stop thinking only west can do things living under sanctions doesn't you can't have something new they have Russia and China behind them
After WWII, the US and Soviet Union agreed basically on the 38th parallel dividing the Korean Peninsula. A war ensued, in which around 2.5 million people died. An armistice agreement was signed, reverting back to the original dividing line. So…2.5 million died for nothing. Our species is insane.
You should learn history from the Russians, you seem to struggle with basic stuff like history, don't make it hard on yourself. Firs thing to realize, US is the enemy to all. They wanted all of Korea, they did not get it because soviet union & china did not allow it. So it was not for nothing. That's just how history teaches you to negotiate instead of fighting. Every conflict ends with negotiations. That's why Russia wants a negotiation with Ukraine to end the war and the west refuses to allow that to happen. But they will win. Can't allow NATO dogs even an inch of Ukraine land. They will lose their hold over Europe after this :)
@@DK-ei4ed I agree with you as US is the enemy in the far west and I understand that much of it is due to the US putting their nose into all nations business where it does not belong. This country needs to stop interfering with other countries!
As one U.S. general said, "It would take three days for a war with North Korea to end. It would be over day one, but it would take two more days for them to admit it." The U.S. could take out all their operations in mere hours, and they would never even see it coming, let alone be able to stop it even if they did.
Only western analyst believe the south can win against the North. There is nothing in the practical sphere that gives the south any edge. The south currently have to have the USA and Japan by their side just to talk with the North.
I think how far and how deep the cooperation between North Korea, China, Russia and Iran will go will also depend on the behavior of the cooperation between South Korea, the United States and Japan. One point worth mentioning is that China is North Korea's ally, not just a political ally, but China and North Korea have mutual defense treaty, if anything happens to North Korea in the future, China must help North Korea.
South Korea and the US are arguably the most compatible soldiers. They have the most military exercises together and are ready to fight at any moment. They go hand in hand.
@@dannnsss8034you know the fun thing south will have nukes when unifiying with north right away. But US doesnt want that its forcing denuclearization is must for reunification
Key phrase is defense in mutual defense treaty. If North Korea instigates a conflict, China is not obliged to help after they start getting whipped on the battlefield.
Last week went to S.Korea. Spoke some locals there. 90% of them says conflict between NK and SK is just media hype. NK knows if they attack SK they know the end game.

The USA hasn't grasped a crucial aspect of warfare: when fighting an enemy that lives, reproduces, and fights with virtually no cost, akin to mountain goats, how do you maintain your global logistical network and military operations without going bankrupt? America might be able to overpower China or Russia with its billion-dollar planes and orbital defense systems, but winning against a country that sustains its resistance so cheaply is nearly impossible. It's not about underestimating the enemy's power; it's about overestimating our commitment to maintaining what we've built. That's why, after a decade or two, we often end up on the losing side.
They own the high ground and over a million active troops on stand by. Ur arrogance is wat lost the USA the Vietnam war. Don’t fall into that trap. They have nukes too and Chinese n Russian backing
@@poppalane So true. NK also has one of the largest militaries in the world. Not saying that it could out defend itself against the US, China or Russia but they are very capable of pulling their muscle in the region of other countries.
I promise you that DPRK does NOT want a conflict, just like the People's Republic does NOT want a conflict in the Yellow Sea. It's literally a divide & conquer tactic to divide the same ethnicities, and convince that their nationalities is an ethnicity, when it's not (there's no such thing as an "Ethnic Taiwanese", that's a nationality), same in Ukraine, the people were together for hundreds of years, except for a minority of Eastern Poland that became W. Ukraine in 1939, and they committed the Galicia / Volyn Purge of 100k+ Poles & 10k+ Gypsies. Now that minority group took over the office of power and their Rada.
Man let me tell you, in the middle of the night I’m definitely thinking about North Korea, but then I wake up to reality and laugh so hard I fall back to sleep.
Well, there is nothing we can do, so no need to worry. If we die, we die. It happens to all of us, anyway. These pesky organic bodies are getting to be a huge liability. Freedom is when we go to the next dimension in the "energy" . Nothing organic to worry about. Fearless is the way to be.
Some people are in big delusion about facts. Although the USA has fought many wars, its dominance of the world after the Second World War ensured relative peace. Although it may be difficult for many people to accept due to their political views, this is a fact. We have experienced a world dominated by authoritarian or fascist regimes. The name of this experience is the First and Second World Wars. These wars were our experience of a multipolar world. The USA is a peacemaking power. Even though it has fought many unjust wars, it is the source of peace. Let's do a simple thought experiment. Let's remove the USA from the world equation for a moment. I leave it to you to imagine how many countries will go to war with each other or invade their neighbors. A world dominated by the USA is always better than a world dominated by countries such as China, Russia, or Iran.

His memory does not go that far and neither is his knowledge of history. What did he learn in the Swiss school his father sent him to ? probably chasing European women.....He would never catch them ; no way.....no money in the world could fix his problem.
countires make $ selling weapons....and its sad to say but economically its good to reduce your population now and then to expand your territories...long term its big money and less mouths to feed.....
A perceived great disparity of military power with a resource or ideological pull starts wars. An ambiguity of military superiority deters wars. Wars aren't insane.
They skipped over a lot for brevity. I find it interesting that you would object to them omitting a mention of the US bombing of North Korea during the war but you are perfectly fine with them not mentioning the many horrific ways that the North Korean regime has abused and killed its own people in the decades since.
i find it interesting how your terrific periodic knowledge makes you describe a whole event between NK and SK, sealed in distorted and childish assumptions about West, North and South.
What kind of map (13:00) gives Crimea to Russia (which no one recognizes), and cuts the eastern most part of Siberia from Russia (which everyone recognizes as part of Russia)?
oh yes North Korea is a dystopian radical Communist state because they are sanctioned.. just say "US bad". westerners cannot understand the illiberal mind.
Um.....hey there DW, the NLL was drawn "later" as in 1953. The 'Kim dynasty" has ALWAYS claimed that South Korea is their principal enemy -- thus the 10,000 artillery pieces pointed at it since before you were born. Why did you select Bob Carlin and Jenny Town as spokespersons to reinforce this message? Of the 6000 North Korea experts you could have called, why did you pick those two? Care to tell your viewers what the Stimson Center is? And more importantly, when your editor asked you "what's new in this story" all you had to say was "nothing, we're just going to bash North Korea and get some clicks." Right? That's how it went, right? So the Tumangong rail station, built between 2008 and finished in 2012 has more rail cars on it now? Who could POSSIBLY have seen that coming? Thank GOD we have the Center for International Studies to tell us these things. Care to tell us who those tw*ts are? There is LITERALLY zero news in this segment, but your Florence Pugh chainsmoking voice will continue to serve you well kid.
Have been chatting on AI apps all weekend, hoping for any sign of inteIIigence, then read your post just now and spewed coffee out my nose on 'Florence Pugh'. Thank G-d! Now I have a new fetish besides Tony Blinken, faded rock guitarist.
12:54 Shame to see DW news including Crimea in the territory of Russia. Crimea is Ukrainian, and always will be. Germany of all nations should know that you don't get to redraw borders by force! Edit: just read the pinned comment by DW news themselves acknowledging this error.
One thought there's strength in numbers... But these can be easily whittled down with a well-executed strategy.. _(i think you know what that means, but I cannot say what in detail due to YT's highly authoritarian comment moderation systems)_
That analysis leaves out that NK would be toasted in any nuclear exchange and most of their weapons are horribly obsolete, have questionable functionality, and a high failure rate. Grandstanding is how he stays in power, war is how he dies.
Yea, let's risk an exchange of nukes, even though you really have nothing to back those claims up. Western intelligence to this day really doesn't have a lot of information about the DPRK at all.
I'd say its more defensive posture, they don't have food to feed their army and require humanitarian aid to avoid starvation. China and Russia won't save them from that.
13:14 Indian map is wrong. Entire Jammu Kashmir & Ladhakh region is shown as disputed and also Arunachal Pradesh which are both part of India. Please correct this.

There are many things about human nature and demographic changes we don't understand, and we are very bad at learning from history.
@@DarthPolm Tbh Hams is a bit different. They were not just boxed in. They were abuused, dehumanised, and made out to be forigners in their own land, all while the west cheers the lsraeIis on. It's a more one-sided, dare I say, tragic situation. But you are still correct in your deduction and comparison.
Kim, managed to secure a strategic alliance with Russia is a huge deal. NATO may have gained Sweden and Finland, but Russia gained North Korea and Iran , all heavily sanctioned states with massive militaries. The world is in a very dangerous place. The Ukraine war showed how venerable the NATO is.
I have seen a big bad habit of western countries they always use wrong map of India and whenever Indians protest it they say it is real but they don't show real picture while making map of Ukraine.
Why is nobody concerned with a combined action by China and NK? Meaning that North Korea could start a limited strike on South Korea to keep the US busy, while shortly thereafter, China goes after Taiwan. From a Chinese perspective, this might be the most promising strategy, as a war between North Korea and the US/South Korea would not directly mean war with China and none of the western allies would be willing to fully invade North Korea. They would simply be busy trying to re-establish the old border.
"What if China starts WWIII" - I fail to see how this would work well especially when the US' supply/training centers around being able to fight two large scale wars at the same time. The biggest issue is how would China stop a US-China war from going nuclear and ending it a mass exchange of nuclear bombs.
@@David-kd4qr You fail to see that because you are unaware of the fact that China is the world supply chain now. Their industrial prowess dwarfs combined Western world + Russia several hundred times and their population outnumbers the West 1:3 ratio. USA knows that a direct full scale war against China will always end up in defeat of the West, that's why it is longing for regional allies to take the blunt of the war in place of Western world directly. It is also true that once taking heavy losses the USA will go nuclear to save itself. In such a scenario, China will either try to shoot down as much nukes it can and retaliate heavily with its hypersonic nuclear arsenal to end the USA quickly and hope to survive a portion of their civilization or choose to halt the war immediately and calls for a ceasefire at the current war position, defining the new borders. China will most likely choose the latter rather than a nuclear exchange.
13:50, "I've deliberately scheduled this zoom interview right after my come-down from a day of 4 or 5 coffees so I'm super intense and sound super concerning"
Just give them those tiny islands and call it a day. They are very clearly in DPRK's water not ROK's. It has to be an absolute waste of resources to constantly keep them defended anyway.
I keep trying to figure out how the Secret Service was protecting Trump in that shot at 11:44. I've seen it a few times over the years and I can't figure out how they did it, logistically. Did he really cross the border into NK? Or was that just some demarcation in the DMZ that didn't hold any diplomatic weight? Because as far as I cam tell, he was totally vulnerable for a few moments there. And since we're talking about a rogue state here, that's significant.
Why did your map show Ukrainian Crimea in russian colors? We didn't sign anything or agreed to give it away! They annexed it illegally. So, by international law, it's still Ukrainian. Or at least separate it somehow.
They have added a note under the video saying they know they made a mistake, but really no excuse for it, they should take the video down and put the correct one up.
Germany is unfortunately a colony of the US, still occupied since 1945. You should look up what German journalist Udo Ulfkotte (Google his name) said about journalists for hire working for the CIA, as he was one himself until he could no longer live with his conscience for doing it. He died in mysterious circumstances not long after giving that interview.
I became suddenly unpopular in a humanitarian group by allowing the land mines can stay there long as N. Korea has all them soldiers across the DMZ, far as i'm concerned. My grandpa fought outta Chosin.
@dwnews Now that we know that the Yoon government of South Korea was committing major provocations in order to bait the DPRK into a war for the purposes of conducting an auto-coup, which the DPRK did not rise to, will you be offering any corrections to this story?
It is interesting to see how a country goes around bossing peoples, in cynical ways, saying others use intimidation and violence, when this country does just that, even with its own citizens, should they disagree with the so-called democracy. And it works. I wonder who is oblivious, or has no mirror.

It also makes you wonder if Kim has thought about the land of North Korea that was taken by Russia during World War 2.
His memory does not go that far and neither is his knowledge of history. What did he learn in the Swiss school his father sent him to ? probably chasing European women.....He would never catch them ; no way.....no money in the world could fix his problem.
He is threatening western reckless and colonial states not the world...
How is war supposed to 'help' anyone? Insanity.
It helps stagnating dictators stay in power.
countires make $ selling weapons....and its sad to say but economically its good to reduce your population now and then to expand your territories...long term its big money and less mouths to feed.....
Look at US at Russia
... and yet the US has 800 military bases scattered all over the world.
Who's the provocateur now?
A perceived great disparity of military power with a resource or ideological pull starts wars. An ambiguity of military superiority deters wars.
Wars aren't insane.
4:20 they forgot to say how US wiped out northern penninsula with its bombs...
Ok, what's wrong with that?
True
With the backing of the UN...which means that it wasn't just the US, duh.
They skipped over a lot for brevity. I find it interesting that you would object to them omitting a mention of the US bombing of North Korea during the war but you are perfectly fine with them not mentioning the many horrific ways that the North Korean regime has abused and killed its own people in the decades since.
i find it interesting how your terrific periodic knowledge makes you describe a whole event between NK and SK, sealed in distorted and childish assumptions about West, North and South.
What kind of map (13:00) gives Crimea to Russia (which no one recognizes), and cuts the eastern most part of Siberia from Russia (which everyone recognizes as part of Russia)?
Looking at the border line of those islands and doesn't look fair at all...That might be the reason why he is angry...
I’m actually surprised no one body else seem to have noticed this…
indeed its not fair, but that's waht you get from wars..winner takes it all.
Great segment
If sanctions a nation for so long what's that sanction nation need? what do you expect the reaction would be.
oh yes North Korea is a dystopian radical Communist state because they are sanctioned.. just say "US bad". westerners cannot understand the illiberal mind.
Pictures of Putin on a horse. Pictures of Kim on a horse. Xi where is your horse?
His horses are Russia and North Korea

NATO should go after them. If they send troops in. Go with allies in their own peninsula. Rid him of war abilities

Correct
Um.....hey there DW, the NLL was drawn "later" as in 1953. The 'Kim dynasty" has ALWAYS claimed that South Korea is their principal enemy -- thus the 10,000 artillery pieces pointed at it since before you were born. Why did you select Bob Carlin and Jenny Town as spokespersons to reinforce this message? Of the 6000 North Korea experts you could have called, why did you pick those two? Care to tell your viewers what the Stimson Center is? And more importantly, when your editor asked you "what's new in this story" all you had to say was "nothing, we're just going to bash North Korea and get some clicks." Right? That's how it went, right? So the Tumangong rail station, built between 2008 and finished in 2012 has more rail cars on it now? Who could POSSIBLY have seen that coming? Thank GOD we have the Center for International Studies to tell us these things. Care to tell us who those tw*ts are? There is LITERALLY zero news in this segment, but your Florence Pugh chainsmoking voice will continue to serve you well kid.
Have been chatting on AI apps all weekend, hoping for any sign of inteIIigence, then read your post just now and spewed coffee out my nose on 'Florence Pugh'. Thank G-d! Now I have a new fetish besides Tony Blinken, faded rock guitarist.
Those military guys love their participation medals.
12:54 Crimea is Ukraine.
Alaska and California are Russia. 😅
@@Алексей-ч2ф9л Russia willingly gave Alaska to the USA. Russia also willingly gave Crimea to Ukraine.
*This comment was fact checked and found to be false
*loud incorrect buzzer*
Well thought out. Looks like this is about to begin.
12:54 Shame to see DW news including Crimea in the territory of Russia.
Crimea is Ukrainian, and always will be.
Germany of all nations should know that you don't get to redraw borders by force!
Edit: just read the pinned comment by DW news themselves acknowledging this error.
Larger isn't better. He can't even field troops because he can't feed them
One thought there's strength in numbers... But these can be easily whittled down with a well-executed strategy.. _(i think you know what that means, but I cannot say what in detail due to YT's highly authoritarian comment moderation systems)_
That analysis leaves out that NK would be toasted in any nuclear exchange and most of their weapons are horribly obsolete, have questionable functionality, and a high failure rate. Grandstanding is how he stays in power, war is how he dies.
Yea, let's risk an exchange of nukes, even though you really have nothing to back those claims up. Western intelligence to this day really doesn't have a lot of information about the DPRK at all.
Are you suddenly an expert on North Korean nuclear weapons? Interesting, you should work for the CIA ;)
Kim: I want problem always I don't wanna peace 😂😂😂
Kim will have health problems galore.
@@solconcordia4315 No, Kim will balance global power, and may God prolong his life.😏
🤔 "Why USA wants wars everyday"
Waiting to watch a video with this title
@@Xirsiev talk is cheap,would you like Kim as a president of your country
I'd say its more defensive posture, they don't have food to feed their army and require humanitarian aid to avoid starvation. China and Russia won't save them from that.
13:14 Indian map is wrong. Entire Jammu Kashmir & Ladhakh region is shown as disputed and also Arunachal Pradesh which are both part of India. Please correct this.
No body cares.
Idol worshipper.
Wrong Lindu, entire Kashmir belongs to Pakistan.
Very well presented
I really enjoyed the music and effects. Being paired with the stern narration gives solid 2005 "special report" vibes 😊
You stopped all the root of trade.
All of their resources spends on developing weapon. They are prepared for war from long ago.
WTF are you saying? Unintelligible. "Prepared for war from long ago" so like what, 1847 or something? What does "all root of trade" even mean? Like root of a tree? Route as in ways or mechanisms to trade? Use Google translate.
@@chrisstrawn4108trade routes. The world's police has sanctioned North Korea hard. Boxed them in. If you cage and punish someone long or hard enough no matter the reason, at some point they fight. This is the human nature. Hamas is an example. So are the results of the versailles treaty. And many more.
There are many things about human nature and demographic changes we don't understand, and we are very bad at learning from history.
@@DarthPolm Tbh Hams is a bit different. They were not just boxed in. They were abuused, dehumanised, and made out to be forigners in their own land, all while the west cheers the lsraeIis on. It's a more one-sided, dare I say, tragic situation. But you are still correct in your deduction and comparison.
Just think about it, Kim has most likely watched this video on his macbook in North Korea
Kim, managed to secure a strategic alliance with Russia is a huge deal. NATO may have gained Sweden and Finland, but Russia gained North Korea and Iran , all heavily sanctioned states with massive militaries. The world is in a very dangerous place. The Ukraine war showed how venerable the NATO is.
I have seen a big bad habit of western countries they always use wrong map of India and whenever Indians protest it they say it is real but they don't show real picture while making map of Ukraine.
Ikr! The channel has even apologized for showing Crimea part of Russia. They will never do that with India
Putting arunachal pradesh as disputed is basically equivalent to recognizing the chinese claim as legitimate.
@@oadka As someone who has never stpeped in india, it`s the first time I ever heard of arunachal pradesh and the fact its disputed at all
You've got to wonder what all his generals medals are for, given that they haven't been in a hot war for 70 years

They are allowed to wear family medals going back to the Korean War
@@tomhenry897 fair play buddy I will watch that 👍
Why is nobody concerned with a combined action by China and NK? Meaning that North Korea could start a limited strike on South Korea to keep the US busy, while shortly thereafter, China goes after Taiwan. From a Chinese perspective, this might be the most promising strategy, as a war between North Korea and the US/South Korea would not directly mean war with China and none of the western allies would be willing to fully invade North Korea. They would simply be busy trying to re-establish the old border.
This is exactly why China has kept North Korea around.
It has its uses in the long run.
"What if China starts WWIII" - I fail to see how this would work well especially when the US' supply/training centers around being able to fight two large scale wars at the same time. The biggest issue is how would China stop a US-China war from going nuclear and ending it a mass exchange of nuclear bombs.
@@David-kd4qr
You fail to see that because you are unaware of the fact that China is the world supply chain now.
Their industrial prowess dwarfs combined Western world + Russia several hundred times and their population outnumbers the West 1:3 ratio.
USA knows that a direct full scale war against China will always end up in defeat of the West, that's why it is longing for regional allies to take the blunt of the war in place of Western world directly.
It is also true that once taking heavy losses the USA will go nuclear to save itself. In such a scenario, China will either try to shoot down as much nukes it can and retaliate heavily with its hypersonic nuclear arsenal to end the USA quickly and hope to survive a portion of their civilization or choose to halt the war immediately and calls for a ceasefire at the current war position, defining the new borders.
China will most likely choose the latter rather than a nuclear exchange.
13:34 this whole video you talk about the truce, aka the war never ended. And here you say "will he start a war" dont you mean "end the truce"?
this aged well and fast
13:50, "I've deliberately scheduled this zoom interview right after my come-down from a day of 4 or 5 coffees so I'm super intense and sound super concerning"

Kim is sick of trying to make peace? Hahahahahahahahhaa
So, he seems tired of his life i luxury?
No need to say more.
Nice dramatic music.
When I was on active duty 11 years ago nothing will change
Do you really think he's anxious to lose EVERYTHING in a few minutes?
as always Chinese bots everytime everywhere!😆😆😆
Why is it that so many countries want to return to the stone age 😮 ????
Perhaps the leaders but almost all the people just want to peacefully live their lives.
For anyone to continue to spend time and resources on nuclear weapons is foolish as they no longer have any meaning relevance.
Just give them those tiny islands and call it a day. They are very clearly in DPRK's water not ROK's. It has to be an absolute waste of resources to constantly keep them defended anyway.
then they want more, and more. We Shouldn't set a bad precedent for them a bit!
I keep trying to figure out how the Secret Service was protecting Trump in that shot at 11:44. I've seen it a few times over the years and I can't figure out how they did it, logistically. Did he really cross the border into NK? Or was that just some demarcation in the DMZ that didn't hold any diplomatic weight? Because as far as I cam tell, he was totally vulnerable for a few moments there. And since we're talking about a rogue state here, that's significant.
Why did your map show Ukrainian Crimea in russian colors? We didn't sign anything or agreed to give it away! They annexed it illegally. So, by international law, it's still Ukrainian. Or at least separate it somehow.
They have added a note under the video saying they know they made a mistake, but really no excuse for it, they should take the video down and put the correct one up.
Because they are the one who started this, not the US. This is the kind of tripe I would expect out of US news.
Germany is unfortunately a colony of the US, still occupied since 1945. You should look up what German journalist Udo Ulfkotte (Google his name) said about journalists for hire working for the CIA, as he was one himself until he could no longer live with his conscience for doing it. He died in mysterious circumstances not long after giving that interview.
probably has a kfc in his house with that belly.
The world is a dangerous place. Glad I live in the 🇺🇸
I became suddenly unpopular in a humanitarian group by allowing the land mines can stay there long as N. Korea has all them soldiers across the DMZ, far as i'm concerned. My grandpa fought outta Chosin.
its about overextending the empire....
Did you forgot about China😂😂😂
And all the “poor quality” artilleries crushing NATO quality weapons
China wont do anything if north is the one to start first
"How big? When? Don't know. " Wow that's great insight
@dwnews Now that we know that the Yoon government of South Korea was committing major provocations in order to bait the DPRK into a war for the purposes of conducting an auto-coup, which the DPRK did not rise to, will you be offering any corrections to this story?
The most scary part to the US ; North & South Korea to reunite
Would never happen
Why you do not update edit the video, just the comment will not cut it, or explain it on the video content section under the title.
It is interesting to see how a country goes around bossing peoples, in cynical ways, saying others use intimidation and violence, when this country does just that, even with its own citizens, should they disagree with the so-called democracy.
And it works. I wonder who is oblivious, or has no mirror.
The US is at least good at lying and they are also able to back up their threats. China, NK, Russia etc. not so much
Is this even an argument? Ridiculous.
I wish Elon Musk would approach Kim Jong Un and offer him a single ticket to Mars...
