news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

You dont have to trust anyone. But I want you to think about it a bit differently. Stop thinking about the number of bombs alone and start thinking about the distribution of said bombs. Currently the US has way more bombs than everyone else and they use them quite a lot. When power is uneven the powerful abuse it. But if they are spread out more evenly then it becomes risky for anyone to use their bombs. Not only because the person theyre bombing might bomb them back but because it lowers their stockpile and leaves them vulnerable.
So I think the DPRK getting better weapons is good. No matter your opinion on the DPRK itself. Because it evens the playing field a bit more. And the most dangerous world is one where one nation has way more power than the others. Just ask the people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Gaza, Ukraine, Vietnam, Korea, and maybe soon to be Venezuela.
