In response to a story about North Korea mobilizing troops. https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1g50q25/north_korea_claims_mobilisation_of_14_million/
who North Korea probably still thinks is a world superpower
It's shit like this that really gets me. As if North Korea is some guy and not a whole ass country with diplomats, geopolitical analysts etc
It's racism.
Russia did this invasion to influence an election halfway around the world two years later
Putin is just playing 18d chess
reality has not been a good partner for a long time now, and it's time to break up
Same people that think Russia started the refugee crisis so Europeans could be racist and vote for the far-right.
Same people that think the country with the most nukes somehow also has not been able to maintain them meanwhile our nuclear infrastructure still relies on these
The Russians shit my pants!
This is unfortunately not a parody. I know a significant amount of people who truly, deeply believe this. They truly believe that Russia is simultaneously the puppetmaster behind all the world's evil and suffering and yet so incompetent as to be a failing state and laughing stock
Plenty of people I know personally believe Russia actually ordered the attacks on Israel specifically to distract the US and redirect weaponry from Ukraine to Israel
"The enemy is both too strong and too weak."
You've been talking to ur-fascists. 
:(
The back of the random strategy game box you pick up and read at the local video game store in 2002:
so Russia is not a "world superpower" but can get all these other countries to do their bidding at the drop of a hat. which is it?
The enemy is both too strong and too weak 
Americans are unfamiliar with “soft power.” For obvious reasons.
Who North Korea probably still thinks is a world super-power
This is just shitty world-building. Even if you believe North Korea is deeply weird prison country where people eat rats that eat people and push trains, the leadership knows what's going on in the world.
Any veil of intelligence this guy tried presenting went out the window with that comment.
Fifth grade level political analysis in a lib school
I remember as a kid when Saddam Hussein was bad, one of the propaganda things about him was in private he'd wear a cowboy hat and watch US movies. Like that's how they need to Portray Kim Jong-Un. Slipping out of his leader's uniform to put on baggy blue jeans and fire up MTV etc
They just write little Tom Clancy stories in their heads
When I was in grade school I read a lot of Tom Clancy and spoiled the ending of debt of honour to my grade 5 teacher
I think he was part mad because I spoiled the ending and part mad that he was reading the same geopolitical thrillers as a 10 year old
He was right to be embarrassed
I was just about to say that this is like Tom Clancy but less grounded.
In Chaos Theory North Korea's aggression is entirely the result of Japanese fascists who want to remilitarize hacking their missile systems with the help of an American military contractor who wants to start a regional war for profit, so maybe they should re-read their source material.
Pretty awesome if Putin pulled this off. Would be the largest strategic victory for a US enemy since Osama Bin Laden made the empire kill itself with 9/11
It really is the lib version of chuds believing China sent the hurricane.
Massive dub for the puppetmaster
Russia.
Russia invaded Ukraine blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah/blah blah blah blah blah. Blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah/blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah- blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Blah blah, blah blah blah (blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah) blah're blah blah blah blah blah blah- blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah's blah blah and sow chaos in hopes of getting Trump elected.

1000+ upvotes, no serious pushback
i forget sometimes that we are one of the only places on the internet that has a grounded view of world affairs
Okay wait but Putin's birthday also being October 7 is some real 👁️ shit though
Liberal fanfiction, this is idealism in action.
Side note, for any DPRK-heads, is there actual risk of war with ROK? Seems to me DPRK is hunkering down after giving up on reconcilliation, not that they are escalating, it's my understanding that neither side wants war.
They're responding to a drone dropping propaganda on them last I heard and they blew up a roadway leading south. So there goes any real talks for now I'd imagine. Still SK are bastards for trying what they did.
They've also dissolved peace talk committees, to my knowledge, and are severing diplomatic ties. This to me seems more like hunkering down, you'd figure they would keep talks open during wartime as the goal would be to have favorable surrender conditions for the ROK to the DPRK. Just my uninformed guess, that's why I am asking if anyone knows more.
Pretty sure this is about an average amount of detachment from reality for a worldnews poster
This is What Radio Free Asia Actually Believes.
Some days I kinda wish I were this stupid. Life would be a lot simpler if it obeyed baby-brain lib logic
This is just liberal Qanon but for geopolitics.
Blueanon
I forgot we had a word for that already
Well thank you for the replies. Suffice it to say, I am flabbergasted.
Pretty funny that someone with the username Jonestown_Juice is peddling Jim Jones style wackadoo theory
