    What a sad state your country must be in to take weapons from fucking North Korea. That’s like getting a busted slingshot from the kid who eats his own boogers.

      Or maybe

      Maybe

      Maybe

      It didn’t actually happen because NK doesn’t have the facilities to manufacture meaningful levels of weapons to one of the greatest military powers in the world right now

      Could be western propaganda who knows

        You are spreading Kremlin talking points. Spreading influence for a regime illegally trying to annex it’s neighbor, razing cities, murdering civilians and kidnapping children.

        You understand that is not Okay, right?

    Almost all politicians lie but what’s the deal with a certain subsection of them doing the bit so blatantly?

    North Korea is such a let down for humanity, a sad disappointment. They’d be so much better off if they worked together with the world. I firmly believe the US military has a complete view of their imports/exports through spy satellites.

      This statement makes sense if you know literally nothing about North Korea or the Korean war.

      If you do know anything about it you realize why they might be a little hesitant to trust America.

      let down for humanity

      My brother in christ, have you seen what we’ve done to the Palestinians?

      In 2024 if you’re not a misanthrope you’re naive.

        Whataboutism. Comparing the situation between Israel and Palestine to North Korea isn’t smart. And you say what “we’ve” done to Palestinians, I haven’t done anything to them, I didn’t vote for any of that shit.

          Man why don’t these North Koreans understand that we come in lovu and peas?!!!

          @riodoro1 reminds you that Palestine which doesn’t have a massive military is currently being Genocided by a Western colony with full support from America so the suggestion that North Korea should just lay down their weapons is completely insane

          WHATABOUTISM REEEEE!!

          Aren’t you a human being? Do you think you really are that different from the israeli soldiers? Some psychologists from Stanford think orherwise.

            Are you referring to the Stanford prison experiment? That’s been thoroughly disproven.

          His comment is fully on topic.

          Look at Palestine for one second and any moron sees why playing nice with America and the West is a suggestion from a delusional tankie.

          The only thing that stops us from trying to steal every resource and overthrowing every government is not having the military might to do so.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Foreign experts believe North Korea’s recent series of artillery and short-range missile tests were meant to examine or advertise the weapons it was planning to sell to Russia.

    Kim Yo Jong called outside assessments on the North Korean-Russian dealings “the most absurd paradox which is not worth making any evaluation or interpretation.”

    She said North Korea’s recent weapons tests were purely performed as parts of the country’s five-year arms buildup plan launched in 2021.

    In March, South Korean Defense Minister Shin Wonsik said North Korea had shipped about 7,000 containers filled with munitions and other military equipment to Russia since last year.

    At the time, Ukraine officials also said an investigation of the debris of a missile found in its northeastern Kharkiv region showed the weapon likely was from North Korea.

    Foreign experts say North Korea likely thinks an enlarged weapons arsenal would boost its leverage in future diplomacy with the United States.


    The original article contains 504 words, the summary contains 153 words. Saved 70%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      Please stop sharing lies.

      The highly esteemed Kim family does not require food, so your point is entirely redundant.
