Sure, let's call it food.
Edible microplastics.
For now
The US can be compared to North Korea after some nazi super power napalms their everything. Until then, they’re just a nazi super power.
I'm confused, are you really suggesting North Korea was napalmed by a Nazi super power?
Or is it just that Russia in fact is an enemy to USA, and Trump is too stupid to understand it.
The US committed numerous atrocities in the Korean War.
That's a bullshit answer, North Korea's poverty and shittiness has nothing to do with being bombed 7 decades ago, but everything to do with being a fucked up dictatorship.
USA is already becoming poorer due to Trumps authoritarian policies, and if they continue this, USA will become a poor ass shitty country like North Korea, no bombing needed.
The main difference being that in North Korea you are sentenced to death for reading the bible, while in USA it will probably be the other way around.
Death sentence for reading the bible has nothing to do with North Korea being bombed, and USA absolutely wasn't a fascist nation at the time.
Are you just pretending the sanctions didn't do anything?
Oh I wasn't aware China and Russia had sanctioned North Korea for decades. Their closest most natural trade partner, and a huge economy.
Or are you claiming a country can't manage if they can't trade with countries on the other side of the globe, when thy have plenty nearby countries to trade with.
Also those sanctions were absolutely FAFO sanctions, because North Korea bombed South Korea.
Do you really believe North Korea is Communist all power to the working class? Do you really believe their dictator pretending to be a God is working for the people?
Why do you defend a despicable administration as the North Korean dictatorship, that is letting it's people starve out of pride ton not ask for humanitarian aid.
No people in North Korea starved because of trade sanctions, but exclusively because of the policies of the country.
The US bombed North Korea relentlessly and US fighter bombers even attacked fleeing refugees. The US has always been a fascist power, only now they have deopped the liberal veneer
That's a bullshit answer, North Korea's poverty and shittiness has nothing to do with being bombed 7 decades ago, but everything to do with being a fucked up dictatorship.
See, nobody is stating that, they are just stating the US (nazi super power) attacked North Korea
nobody is stating that
Really? I responded to:
The US can be compared to North Korea after some nazi super power napalms their everything.
Insinuating that North Korea is poor because they were bombed, and USA will also become poor if they are bombed.
I got similar responses twice, and only responded to the above partially, to avoid redundancy.
But here is the complete answer:

North Korea doesn’t participate in the global market. What exactly do you think you know?
Your responses regarding the bible have been nonsense. Let’s not be an imperialist bootlicker.
The US has always been a fascist state.
The US is nowhere near North Korea on the authoritarian spectrum. Getting closer to Turkey though.
I'd say more like Hungary and then on its way to Russia.
What a shithole country.
Oh, did him feelings get hurt? Does him need a bandaid for him ego? Did bad mans say bad things about hims? Poor baby president.
Because free speech and all, you know.
This is what happens when you give a bully your lunch money when he threatens you. He keeps threatening you for more and more things until you punch him on his orange fucking nose.
fascism in progress
<blink>fascism in progress</blink></marquee>
It will be up to Brendan Carr,
Who takes orders from........ dumpy.
Now where are those Epstein files
As if we can trust anything they choose to release anyway.
Sure, if he just Her Trump would please us to tell which dictaroship's manual he's reading would be nice, so we can get all on the same page.
It's this one. It's been in the news a lot.
True, in Italy we had kinda the same.
We had this freemansory with it's program, it wasn't on the table like project 25 but still quite known. Still people didn't cared.
I still don't undertsand what people in US did missed about "You'll not have to vote again". He said that.
Yeah his intentions were pretty clear.
And they would be breaking the law as always. We have got to take these criminals down asap if we want any hope of keeping our freedoms in place
