It was a statement from Kim Yo-Jong, not Kim Jong-Un, and it was a reaffirmation of their hard lines. The world isn't ignoring the DPRK, the president of the US is trying to reach out for talks, same as the president of the ROK, while countries like Cuba, Russia, and China all have strong ties with the DPRK. This is nonsense.
Trump and Kim Jong-Un did meet previously, but I am referring to the ongoing attempts in 2026 to have a meeting with Kim Jong-Un. Further, drop the chauvanism.
In your "clever" nicknames.
Pretending that Koreans live in caves and are a backwards, irrelevant people is chauvanist. You have the same attitude that colonial Europeans have towards their colonies.
"North Koreans" are not a people. Northern Koreans do not live in caves, not since the US empire committed genocide on the Korean people decades ago. Housing rates in the DPRK are extremely high, and city design is made to be easily transitable by citizens.
The KPA's nuclear arsenal is not to be made light of. The KPA is the fourth largest military in the world, with an estimated 80 nuclear warheads. They also do not kill people for stealing posters, a traveler was arrested for trespassing on military grounds and defacing a plaque, and during his imprisonment he contracted botulism, fell into a coma, was returned to the west, and an autopsy was refused so they could claim the DPRK killed him.
The DPRK affirms their hard lines whenever the US and ROK stage military invasion practice, as a means of deterrence. The fact that you have no clue what actually goes on in the world does not mean everyone shares your ignorance.
Everyone who disagrees with you is a robot.
You are very smart.
Homophobia too, amazing. The DPRK isn't "all talk," they have maintained that invading them will result in the use of nuclear weapons. They have not been invaded yet, so no need to make good on that promise. Further, the photo I linked wasn't AI, it's easy to see video of Pyongyang. Here are some extra photos:
I am wholesale recreating that second building in my sci fi game, damn
holy fuck go back to reddit you racist fuck god damn
They aren't, you can see people in each picture, lmao. Check the video.
Trump admitted that the DPRK sees the annual joint exercises as invasion rehearsal.
Do you have any actual points or just "hurry durr, I am very smart? “
There's no alliance between Trump and the DPRK. If the US pulled out of the ROK, this would legitimately be a fantastic foreign policy move, which is exactly why I doubt it will happen under Trump.
You have a lot in common with him, it seems.
She clearly marks her pronouns as she/her, and uses "queermunist" as a name. Referring to her as just "queer" and using he/him pronouns to refer to her is just naked transphobia. Again, more botjacketing.

More botjacketing when you can't actually refute a point?
