Kim has the exact same posture as my two year old when he's watching the dog eat.

[-] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 23 points 4 months ago

It’s bizarre! I had the same thought. He’s postured like an engaged toddler.

What did you just say about me, you insolent fool? I'll have you know that I am the Supreme Leader of North Korea, and I have over 300 confirmed no-poop days. I graduated top of my class at the Academy of Unchallenged Genius and have single-handedly invented gravity and rainbows. You are nothing to me but just another target for my flawless golf skills; I once got 18 holes-in-one in a single game. I have the power of the sun in my hands and have been trained in both human and gorilla warfare. Mark my words, you are finished. Think you can talk to me like that and get away with it? Think again, worm. I am the very definition of perfection and will obliterate you with my mere presence.

Someone missed his nap. Was launching stomp rockets into the Pacific too much excitement for you?

He's like a two year old that got hit with an enlarging-ray

Arms back, hips and moobs emphasized, because lumbar lordosis is not just for women! Powerful and manly man can master it, with practice and intense self-indulgence. Westerners aren't permitted to learn it.

It's also weirdly similar to Trump's posture. Both horrible and I don't know how they stand like that. It looks both ugly and uncomfortable.

[-] RIPandTERROR@sh.itjust.works 27 points 4 months ago

Satire and reality have been blurred way too far. I genuinely almost believe this

[-] supercriticalcheese@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

I didn't realise this was credible defense

Would Kim's outfit be called a pantsuit?

"Mao suit".

It's a trademark for him and his grandfather. Here he is wearing it to meet Trump:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao_suit

The modern Chinese tunic suit is a style of male attire originally known in China as the Zhongshan suit (simplified Chinese: 中山装; traditional Chinese: 中山裝; pinyin: Zhōngshān zhuāng) after the republican leader Sun Yat-sen (Sun Zhongshan). Sun Yat-sen introduced the style shortly after the founding of the Republic of China (1912–1949) as a form of national dress with distinct political overtones. The four pockets are said to represent the Four Virtues of propriety, justice, honesty, and shame; and the five buttons the branches of China's former government (Executive, Legislative, Judicial, Examination, Control),[1][2][3][4][5] which still survive today in the Republic of China government of Taiwan.

After the Communist victory in the Chinese Civil War and the establishment of the People's Republic of China in 1949, such suits came to be worn widely by male citizens and government leaders as a symbol of proletarian unity and an Eastern counterpart to the Western business suit. The name "Mao suit" comes from Chinese Communist Mao Zedong's fondness for the style. The garment became closely associated with him and with Chinese Communism. Mao's cut of the suit was influenced by the Stalin tunic then prevalent among Soviet officials.[6] Although it declined in use among the general public in the 1980s and 1990s due to the increasing prominence of the business suit, it is still commonly worn by Chinese leaders during important state ceremonies and functions.[7][8] The Mao suit was also worn in North Korea by party elites.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the Mao suit became fashionable among Western European, Australian, and New Zealander socialists and intellectuals.[9] It was sometimes worn over a turtleneck.

The Mao suit is worn at the most formal ceremonies as a symbol of national sovereignty. China's paramount leaders always wear Mao suits for military parades in Beijing, even though other Politburo Standing Committee members and other Politburo officials wear European business suits. It is customary for Chinese leaders to wear Mao suits when attending state dinners.[13][14][15] In this situation, the Mao suit serves as a form of evening dress, equivalent to a military uniform for a monarch, or a tuxedo for a paramount leader.

The Mao suit also serves as a diplomatic uniform. Although Chinese ambassadors usually wear European business suits, many Chinese ambassadors choose to wear a Mao suit when they present their credentials to the head of state.[16][17][18] The presentation ceremony is symbolic of the diplomatic recognition that exists between the two countries, so it carries a higher level of formality than other diplomatic meetings.

Thanks for the sauce! The pocket over each man boobie has political meaning?! It's not designed to flatter the male torso- any male torso, of any size or shape, is it? The unrelieved swath of monochrome matte fabric starts at the high collar and seems to swallow the upper body and legs and emphasize narrowness in all the wrong places. The wearer looks like nothing but buttons and pelvis.

Probably a better bathroom experience than what the front line Russian soldiers are getting right now.

[-] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Oh, no, these balloons are already filled with North Korean poop. The Russians still have to use their regular wilderness holes.

[-] BigMikeInAustin@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Too bad. Can't get more Russians to sign up with the promise of "getting to poop into a balloon!"

Thanks!

Eh, there's no shortage of video essays on YouTube. The Operations Room is particularly entertaining if you like war related stuff. Their videos on desert storm are fascinating.

Shit's getting weird, part infinity!

[-] thefrankring@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

If I ever meet Putin, I guess I know what to give him.

[-] Quacksalber@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 months ago

I see what you did there, you sly dog.

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
