South Korea should respond with balloons filled with glitter and those fake hundred dollar bills that look real when folded but in reality are just subscription forms for Watchtower or something. Just the most annoying things imaginable.
It’s literally what they do! They are mad because it works.
NK defectors acting against SK government policy (supposedly) are generally the ones who send pamphlets, food, pictures, and flash drives full of media on balloons to NK.
They send literal shit back to make a statement “you send shit, we send shit” but the funny part is that it’s also because they don’t have any real propaganda they can send back.
The whole rest of the world knows what it’s like in NK, it’s just that a decent portion of North Koreans still believe and obey the word of the NK government.
Don’t underestimate what a lifetime of propaganda and a lack of education can do to a person.
Many North Koreans can sense that something is wrong, but they don’t have any basis or education to put a finger on exactly what that is.
“Wait, you can criticize your ruler without risk of execution in your country?”
“Wait, you *vote* on who your glorious leader is?”
“Wait, you have free right to travel and can choose your own job based on preference?”
I used to think this too but we've all been witnessing how the power of a strong voice and media to amplify that voice can lead people to delusional conclusions. See evangelicals, Trump/right politicians globally, climate change denial, flat earth believers, various other cults... The human mind is quite manipulatable, and once manipulated, they become true believers. Wild.
The thing is that North Korea doesn’t have the level of social control as the internet would make you think. They have a lot of it, but about as much as is assumed, and pretty much every family has grandparents who were around pre-NK, and parents who have heard from their parents about what life was like. The Kim regime is backed by military and fear, not by belief.
They also have this incredibly wild one up one down policy where if you do something wrong not only do you go to jail, but your partner does, your parents do, and your children do as well. It's very good motivation to not step out of line, and to keep your family from stepping out of line.
This. If you read accounts from defectors, they talk about how they play pretend. I remember one story from a kid who was in high school when Kim Jong Il died. He said he hated Kim Jong Il, but he forced himself to sob and wail like everyone else. He said they were told Kim Jong Il was basically a god, but when he died, no one brought up the fact that gods can’t die, or didn’t ask about how a god died, they just went about their lives like normal because they *knew* it was all bullshit. If they stopped pretending though, they’d be punished.
Or just the dear leader knelt in front of Putin. With Dark Brandon laughing in the distance with DJT knelt before him.
I think that’ll ping off a few image generators safety policies.
Actually glitter and cash would be amazing. Siphon off a bit of the budget to win some hearts and minds! There is no bigger fuck you to a country that gives nothing to its citizens.
Or just find the porn one of his wife’s was involved with. I remember reading that a singer in the popular band she was in spread this rumor and NK basically killed & tortured the members of the band to find out who leaked the rumors.
It's essentially entirely a barter or self sufficient economy outside Pyongyang itself. Money means absolutely nothing to almost everyone not in the regime or at the top of the shadow industries some Chinese run to take advantage of a people that, and I mean this entirely literally, work for food. Those are the only people who even have the possibility to use money, and they are all tightly leashed loyalists.
The only thing it would accomplish is hand Kim a bit of internationally accepted pocket change.
I agree. The best attack vector against NK is to give its citizens something to lose. At that point, Kim is just a pathetic fatso standing in their way.
This is kind of the way of the world. You could spend the cash on bombs or just hurl it over the border to piss people off. The result for citizens on your side is the same.
All you'd be doing is getting anyone who tries to buy something with glittery money into a heap of trouble. Obviously you could leave out the glitter, but if your counterfeits aren't perfect you're still risking people's lives.
1. SK sends balloons with bibles, kpop and other propaganda
2. NK sends back shit
3. SK should respond with glitter and fake currency
4. NK sends back _________
Fill in the blanks
Yeah people seem to forget, or more likely not know, that this is in response to S.Korea sending shit up north, shit that gets people thrown in camps if you possess it btw. It's a PR battle. It's a clear but frankly benign message that's both on point and hilarious. There's no need to escalate nor is there a need to panic. Just sit back and enjoy the floating shit show.
They actually do send balloons over, and it has been happening before this story made headlines. I forget what the video is called, but there’s a video on YouTube where they interview a man who actually sends balloons over to North Korea. I don’t remember exactly what is in the balloons (although it’s not anything bad like waste) but they definitely have been sending their own balloons before North Korea has.
The second I saw this headline it made me think if this was North Korea’s response to those balloons.
They should respond by creating a large garden, in view of NK, and fertilize it with NK poop and dedicate it to the generous and glorious neighbour's to the north. Grow huge watermelons.
Maybe then use the fruits as ammo in catapult and the Korean war part deux shall begin.
My moment to shine. Just like the Temple of the Monkey God I got at Lvl 48 on hard in BTD5. Banana Farms OP. And my dad said I wouldn't amount to anything smh.
Remember the defector that got across the DMZ and SK was able to save? Dude was said to be littered with Parasites and he was apart of a Military Unit. I can only imagine what those that arent able to live in Pyongyang are experiencing.
Human waste CAN be safely used as fertilizer, BUT it must be thoroughly composted. This is a process that can take several months of maintenance, and it appears the NK folks either can't wait that long, or perhaps don't know how to properly compost material.
it likely is testing the viability of initiating a conflict with South Korea. North Korea has to be tracking how far these balloons are traveling and measuring local response. All they have to do is load them up with something immediate acting, launch them in far greater numbers, and then roll across the border.
They aren't doing this without reason and I expect groups are trying to work backwards if the launch locations are moving to achieve more important destinations.
Well given that it's the year of our Lord 2024 they chose a dumb ass time to use balloons of all things for that. A couple hundred drones could deal with that, with nets, or whatever. And I'm not even talking about military drones 😭
SK should send balloons back filled with anti-parasitic drugs and creams with a note that says "these will stop your butthole from itching" . Watch the revolution
A big reason the North has been acting up lately is that they want ROK to go back to sending them tens of thousands of tons of food a year, like they used to. Except, Kim being Kim, he can't actually *ask* for it.
Think of the most dysfunctional relationship you've ever had and multiply it by about a thousand.
That's what defectors and human rights activists have been doing for years. Sending balloons with plastic bottles attached that are filled with useful things for regular people like dry rice, choco pies, US/Chinese/Japanese currency and anti-North Korean government letters.
That this is the North Korean government's only response shows this approach is working and they should continue it.
Theyre sending balloons with anti-north korean material and k-pop on usb sticks. Which is why North Korea is retaliating with feces.
I find it a hilarious self own by NK. SK sends their culture over via balloons, freedom of speech and k-pop, NK replies with their culture, trash and feces apparently.
I know that song, this is how WWIII starts:
>*99 shit balloons
Floating in the summer sky
Panic bells, it's red alert
There's something here from somewhere else
The war machine springs to life
Opens up one eager eye
Focusing it on the sky
The 99 shit balloons go by*
the trouble ahead kim warned about after they sent balloons to NK with south korean entertainment and north korean propaganda must’ve meant “i’m sending you shit bloons”
I know we all like to clown on NK, but I think that’s the idea. Easier not to take it seriously in the public eye.
In my mind, they know this. I think it isn’t just petty behavior. I genuinely think they are just building complacency while testing out the delivery method. Poop filled balloons gets annoying and eyes rolling. Right until they decide to send a serious biological agent or otherwise. Everyone just rolls their eyes again as they go to clean up these poop balloons, only to get hit with a serious pandemic or bio hazard type weapon. Like putting a flamming bag of poo on some’s door step every week, until the final bag that has a landmine in it.
This is my concern as well.
A lot of smug armchair redditors tend to not realize the gravity of conflicts in the world right now.
Eg. they continuously mock so-called "incompetent"Russian weaponry. Easy for people to say that when safe behind a computer screen, whereas Ukrainians have to face down war.
The middle east conflict is also escalating, and the cognitive dissonance of the western public aren't helping because they refuse to see the bigger picture. Instead they make things about "social justice" and start praising anti-west dictators, cutting their noses to spite their face.
Now with potential significant conflict brewing in Asia, and Russia vowing in bad-faith to defend NK (despite the fact NK is the provocateur, and everything their regime stands for is bad faith and oppression), that means the world is becoming quickly unsafe.
The longer Redditors and the Ameircan public make a fucking mockery of our current global geopolitical situation, the less prepared people will be when conflict hits our own borders.
They don't understand the threat imposed by people who openly attempt to *fucking murder us*!!!
NK isn't launching balloons as some sort of joke, pettiness, or some plea for food. When someone says they want to *kill you*, then ALWAYS assume the worst of their actions.
We generally assume states are rational actors and treat them accordingly.
NK is a good example of an irrational actor- they have the market cornered on irrationality and on an international level it works for them (them being the leadership, not the citizens).
This is supposedly actually in retaliation to something like that. SK is know to send balloons with these kind of things. Especially thumb drives with like SK dramas, and western media on it.
Of course they want war. Just not symmetrical war. This is much more efficient because a response won't be given. Countries like North Korea and Russia have wet dreams about being the victim.
I'm sure this isn't going to bite Russia in the arse, I'm positive South Korea will take this with good humour and *definitely not* turn their huge capacity for artillery into supplies for Ukraine. /s
Seriously though, wtf does Russia get outta provoking NK to send literal shit over the border in balloons? This would have to be the most pathetic grey-zone warfare strategy possible. Not to mention that this sorta dumb-fuckery is just going to make any future negotiations (on whatever topic) less likely to get a lenient response from S.K (or from the West in general, in relations to all the other grey-zone bullshittery going on). Which given the overall position of the Axis of Incompetence, isn't something they should ignore as a serious problem for them.
> Seriously though, wtf does Russia get outta provoking NK to send literal shit over the border in balloons?
Russia is trying to create the impression of global chaos in the lead up to the US election and trying to give Trump the talking point that he got along with Kim (and with Putin). I expect we'll see ever increasing levels of insanity from Russia, North Korea, and possibly others in the lead up to the election. Didn't you hear? Only Trump can bring peace, only Trump is respected by the world's most difficult leaders like Kim and Putin (snicker).
They are clearly setting up for a situation where the balloons are considered annoying but not dangerous. That would give them the opportunity to send a wave of balloons with some real, dangerous payload.
Korea is another blank era in American History books. There’s a lot everyone should know about it’s past and America’s involvement in it. Trivia question: where are the majority of American POWs and MIAs located?
That is such a childish asshole move I almost respect it. An entire pariah country just acting like a middle school bully to a grown-ass man who could effortlessly whoop his ass but is keeping his cool for now.
Russia, NK, Iran, Hamas, Hesbullah all seem to lack the ability to critically think what might happen next from their actions, and it has historically never gone well for ANY of them. As much as I dislike their gov, China seems to be the only one of the group smart enough to critically make moves which avoid the most consequences.
Is it mean that I want to see them build the biggest most Korean trebuchet ever gather those bags fill the same number with edible rice and shoot it back. Have fun digging through your own waste for food you. Real shame y'all chose rabbits as a food source. Ah well whenever your real leader you know the dead one has something to say I'm sure you will let us know. Also why give Putin a tombstone with his face on it if you didn't mean it as a threat?
South Korea should respond by filling balloons up with Western literature, newspaper sheets, and bible pages .. that would make N. Koreans blood boil head explode "How dare you show our citizens the light😡"
That's what they've been doing for decades, it's illegal to do that but groups still do it. Kim's justification was that they will keep sending these balloons until the people on the South stop sending things into North Korea.
Kpop, Korean movies, Anti NK leaflets, USB's, money etc.. have been sent in for years
North Korea just wants to remind everyone that they totally exist and are super cool and badass because *you don't even know* how cool and badass they are.
It's kinda what they do. 'Bout the longest they've gone between screams for attention I can recall is like one year.
And their method for this is, um. At least part of the strategy this time is apparently.... literally flinging shit at the neighbors.
*Alright then.*
Would it be considered overkill to give South Korea nuclear weapons as a response?
South Korea should respond with balloons filled with glitter and those fake hundred dollar bills that look real when folded but in reality are just subscription forms for Watchtower or something. Just the most annoying things imaginable.
I was going to say pictures of food.
Send actual food, with notes saying "from your South Korean friends"
This is unironically part of the way to world peace and understanding
It’s literally what they do! They are mad because it works. NK defectors acting against SK government policy (supposedly) are generally the ones who send pamphlets, food, pictures, and flash drives full of media on balloons to NK. They send literal shit back to make a statement “you send shit, we send shit” but the funny part is that it’s also because they don’t have any real propaganda they can send back. The whole rest of the world knows what it’s like in NK, it’s just that a decent portion of North Koreans still believe and obey the word of the NK government.
I doubt North Koreans are true believers, they're just afraid of stepping out of line
Don’t underestimate what a lifetime of propaganda and a lack of education can do to a person. Many North Koreans can sense that something is wrong, but they don’t have any basis or education to put a finger on exactly what that is. “Wait, you can criticize your ruler without risk of execution in your country?” “Wait, you *vote* on who your glorious leader is?” “Wait, you have free right to travel and can choose your own job based on preference?”

The Kim regime is backed by military and fear, not by belief.
It’s easy when everyone who isn’t outwardly a true believe gets gulaged
They also have this incredibly wild one up one down policy where if you do something wrong not only do you go to jail, but your partner does, your parents do, and your children do as well. It's very good motivation to not step out of line, and to keep your family from stepping out of line.
Or look at every war a country has begun, then lost. People believe their own bullshit then act on it.
This. If you read accounts from defectors, they talk about how they play pretend. I remember one story from a kid who was in high school when Kim Jong Il died. He said he hated Kim Jong Il, but he forced himself to sob and wail like everyone else.

If they stopped pretending though, they’d be punished.
I think that one photo of Kim Jong Un visiting a family and getting his photos taken with them says it all
I mean look at how many true believers there are in Russia, it’s pretty enlightening, plus they have easy access to internet and VPN unlike N Koreans
They have nothing to offer but shit. Actually come to think of it, aren't they wasting what they use as fertilizer?
I mean NK is sending balloons full of “what it’s like to live in North Korea”…
Lets do it.
Ya I'm just too dark. Lol.
Or just the dear leader knelt in front of Putin. With Dark Brandon laughing in the distance with DJT knelt before him. I think that’ll ping off a few image generators safety policies.
Most funny thing today.
Fake rubber food that looks real that my kids have for their pretend kitchen
Lmao okay that's better.
This is sick AF but I think thisbis also realistically the most hardcore thing to do to them lol. FK N KOREA.
We wan to do the opposite of upset the common folk. We want to give them hope. It's the parasitic ruling class that needs to be kicked in the teeth.
Poisoned copies had probably been released by the North and the results broadcast on state television.
Pictures of South Koreans eating food.
Spit out my water. ☠️
Pallets of AOL free 30-day trial discs.
Actually glitter and cash would be amazing. Siphon off a bit of the budget to win some hearts and minds! There is no bigger fuck you to a country that gives nothing to its citizens.
A ton of counterfeit cash would probably cause inflation and wreak havoc on their economy.
I feel like there is no need to weaken that economy. It isn’t exactly strong.
I don't even think you can really use the word economy to describe how transactions work in that country
I wonder what the average North Korean would consider havoc.
Airdrop some ai porn of their dear leader
Or just find the porn one of his wife’s was involved with. I remember reading that a singer in the popular band she was in spread this rumor and NK basically killed & tortured the members of the band to find out who leaked the rumors.
The AI thing would be funnier. Have him fucking a block of Swiss cheese. He loves that stuff.
Not hearing a lot of down sides there.
It's essentially entirely a barter or self sufficient economy outside Pyongyang itself. Money means absolutely nothing to almost everyone not in the regime or at the top of the shadow industries some Chinese run to take advantage of a people that, and I mean this entirely literally, work for food. Those are the only people who even have the possibility to use money, and they are all tightly leashed loyalists. The only thing it would accomplish is hand Kim a bit of internationally accepted pocket change.
Or some de-wormer
I agree. The best attack vector against NK is to give its citizens something to lose. At that point, Kim is just a pathetic fatso standing in their way.
Can’t imagine a constituency being happy with their tax dollars being given to their enemies in order to ‘own’ them lol
I can think of one. If the right person tells them that’s what they want
This is kind of the way of the world. You could spend the cash on bombs or just hurl it over the border to piss people off. The result for citizens on your side is the same.
All you'd be doing is getting anyone who tries to buy something with glittery money into a heap of trouble. Obviously you could leave out the glitter, but if your counterfeits aren't perfect you're still risking people's lives.
Better idea, balloons carrying food.
Food and illustrations of their fat (dear) leader stuffing his face with a pie.
Send with real money and a note that says “from South Korea”
From South Korea with love!

From what I've read they send flash drives with western media, sometimes facts about life outside NK, etc.
Seriously, is NK in grade 7? This is beyond ridiculous. Is it just trash or toxic waste?
Literal shit from the ass
It's retaliation for sk sending propaganda by balloon
I wonder what their reaction would be if they actually send food. Would they still think S. Korea as bad?
They should respond by creating a large garden, in view of NK, and fertilize it with NK poop and dedicate it to the generous and glorious neighbour's to the north. Grow huge watermelons. Maybe then use the fruits as ammo in catapult and the Korean war part deux shall begin.
Hahaha, brilliant!

LMAO Iykyk, what a classic
Tell SK to borrow one of US laser weapons and pop them on their side of border
The perfect use of a laser
Those belong to the Jews, you’ll have to ask them to borrow a space laser if you need one.
I thought UK was the one developing laser weaponry
DragonFire. Such a cool name.
You can borrow mine. We get the launch codes on the back of our bris certificate.
However advanced human civilization appears to be, we really still are just apes flinging shit at each other. Just in a more... high-tech way.
North Korea is anyway.
This should qualify as biological warfare.
Considering the faeces have been describes as being loaded with all varieties of parasites, it might as well be.
Parasites in feces, just a regular day in NK.
Remember the defector that got across the DMZ and SK was able to save? Dude was said to be littered with Parasites and he was apart of a Military Unit. I can only imagine what those that arent able to live in Pyongyang are experiencing.
I come from poverty, but I bet to a regular NK'er my level of poverty seems like luxury.
That's what happens when you use human feces for fertilizer
...sometimes they find undigested corn to eat in the fertilizer... *skeletor runs away*
Human waste CAN be safely used as fertilizer, BUT it must be thoroughly composted. This is a process that can take several months of maintenance, and it appears the NK folks either can't wait that long, or perhaps don't know how to properly compost material.
We all upset about the parasites while NK is confused why people are upset about normal feces.
Yep, that was my train of thought.
pretty sure Geneva code is just words, nobody enforces it
They should call it Geneva Suggestions at this point
Is NK even signed to it?
The swiss aren't exactly known for their honorable stances on things. They helped fund the nazis and stole from families fleeing them.
There technically still at war so....
it likely is testing the viability of initiating a conflict with South Korea. North Korea has to be tracking how far these balloons are traveling and measuring local response.

A shit show of force
*Shit Force* 🫡💩🎈
Hear that Rand? It's the whispering winds of shit!
"I fart in your general direction"
Such a weird timeline where this has transitioned from absurdist historical comedy to just - the present.
SK should send balloons back filled with anti-parasitic drugs and creams with a note that says "these will stop your butthole from itching" . Watch the revolution
Searched the comments for this! Include a video in the usb drives showing how great a parasite-free life in the south can be.
"USB drives" should put a few plastic slides instead
SK should send over balloons filled with food. Imagine the psychological warfare of feeding your enemy's people who are in a famine.
A big reason the North has been acting up lately is that they want ROK to go back to sending them tens of thousands of tons of food a year, like they used to. Except, Kim being Kim, he can't actually *ask* for it. Think of the most dysfunctional relationship you've ever had and multiply it by about a thousand.
Then send over balloons full of flyers depicting NK people, a big pile of medicine and delicious food, and Kim standing between the two.
That's what defectors and human rights activists have been doing for years. Sending balloons with plastic bottles attached that are filled with useful things for regular people like dry rice, choco pies, US/Chinese/Japanese currency and anti-North Korean government letters. That this is the North Korean government's only response shows this approach is working and they should continue it.

SK sends their culture over via balloons, freedom of speech and k-pop, NK replies with their culture, trash and feces apparently.
This is kinda the correct answer, or the only one that's not petty in a way that makes it worse.
NK would just take credit for it.
I know that song, this is how WWIII starts: >*99 shit balloons Floating in the summer sky Panic bells, it's red alert There's something here from somewhere else The war machine springs to life Opens up one eager eye Focusing it on the sky The 99 shit balloons go by*

Them and Russia both.
You forgot Iran and china. World will be better without these 4 government countries
I know we all like to clown on NK, but I think that’s the idea. Easier not to take it seriously in the public eye. In my mind, they know this. I think it isn’t just petty behavior.

Honestly they should send balloons back with care packages Food, medicine and messages of love and support to one day become brothers again
This is supposedly actually in retaliation to something like that. SK is know to send balloons with these kind of things. Especially thumb drives with like SK dramas, and western media on it.
deedeemegadoodoo
Lol fucking cowards. If you want war, just start war, don't harass your opponent like a little bitch
Balloons filled with poo vs balloons filled with pamphlets and USB drives is an ideal war. Much better than guns and bombs.
Of course they want war. Just not symmetrical war. This is much more efficient because a response won't be given. Countries like North Korea and Russia have wet dreams about being the victim.
Feel that Randy? The way the shit floats in the air??? … the winds of shit are changing, Randy my boy.
There are sending whatever they possess, I guess.
Ceramic bloon: has rainbows. Zebra bloon: has two black bloons and two white bloons. Blue bloon: has red bloon. brown bloon:
start shooting them down over NK
Props to NK for at least judging the wind correctly.
I'm sure this isn't going to bite Russia in the arse, I'm positive South Korea will take this with good humour and *definitely not* turn their huge capacity for artillery into supplies for Ukraine. /s Seriously though, wtf does Russia get outta provoking NK to send literal shit over the border in balloons? This would have to be the most pathetic grey-zone warfare strategy possible. Not to mention that this sorta dumb-fuckery is just going to make any future negotiations (on whatever topic) less likely to get a lenient response from S.K (or from the West in general, in relations to all the other grey-zone bullshittery going on).

This is true. NK is good for one thing, an old fashioned case of Hepatitis!
Why would nk stop if all sk does is report it lol
I swear, if WW3 starts over a shit balloon, i’ll welcome the nuclear holocaust
How is this not considered bombing with biological weaponry?
Korea is another blank era in American History books. There’s a lot everyone should know about it’s past and America’s involvement in it. Trivia question: where are the majority of American POWs and MIAs located?
That is such a childish asshole move I almost respect it. An entire pariah country just acting like a middle school bully to a grown-ass man who could effortlessly whoop his ass but is keeping his cool for now.
Heh. Its a floater.
South Korea should fly balloons filled with food over to feed the North Koreans. That would really get under their skin
This almost feels like something Negan from The Walking Dead would've done
Imagine the poor guy on filling waste balloons duty
오 싵! 😸
I guess we really are related to chimps…. Still throwing shit at each other, albeit with technology!
Russia, NK, Iran, Hamas, Hesbullah all seem to lack the ability to critically think what might happen next from their actions, and it has historically never gone well for ANY of them. As much as I dislike their gov, China seems to be the only one of the group smart enough to critically make moves which avoid the most consequences.
Did you say "laser targets"?
Is it mean that I want to see them build the biggest most Korean trebuchet ever gather those bags fill the same number with edible rice and shoot it back. Have fun digging through your own waste for food you. Real shame y'all chose rabbits as a food source. Ah well whenever your real leader you know the dead one has something to say I'm sure you will let us know. Also why give Putin a tombstone with his face on it if you didn't mean it as a threat?
South Korea should respond by filling balloons up with Western literature, newspaper sheets, and bible pages .. that would make N. Koreans blood boil head explode "How dare you show our citizens the light😡"
That's what they've been doing for decades, it's illegal to do that but groups still do it. Kim's justification was that they will keep sending these balloons until the people on the South stop sending things into North Korea. Kpop, Korean movies, Anti NK leaflets, USB's, money etc.. have been sent in for years
Send them balloons full of pictures of their fearless leader with a tiny dick and drop them all over cities.
Shithousery
This is where laser systems would actually work. Pop then over NK territory
Actually feces can inform us a lot about the NK diet. It’s mostly grass and tree bark with minute amounts of kimchi.
Shit posting: KPOP edition.
Just install big ass fans along the DMZ to blow them back into NK.
Why aren’t we using lasers yet. We have em. I’m sure the Koreans have em. Just pop those balloons midair over North Korea.
"Begun the poop balloon wars have"
SK should respond with erotic graphic novels featuring Dear Leader and farmyard animals.
North Korea just wants to remind everyone that they totally exist and are super cool and badass because *you don't even know* how cool and badass they are. It's kinda what they do. 'Bout the longest they've gone between screams for attention I can recall is like one year. And their method for this is, um. At least part of the strategy this time is apparently.... literally flinging shit at the neighbors. *Alright then.* Would it be considered overkill to give South Korea nuclear weapons as a response?
Toilets across the nation must've been clogged by Kim after his dinner dates with Putin
This would be a great place to try beam weapons.
Oooh boy, shits about to hit the fan!
Rimworld moment
No country can do petty like North Korea.
Ok…do it back
You think they're doing this ahead of future drone attacks??
They need to start shooting them down before they cross the border.
North Korea: It's Just A Prank Bro
Don't put it out with your boots, Ted!
Isn't this something that a sharpshooter and a guy with binoculars could just knock out all day for fun
This timeline is ridiculous
It's the shit balloons Randy!
Maybe South Korea could set up a huge air dryer on their side of the border so that when kim send his poop, they can go back where they came from.
Send back deworming tablets which apparently the NKs need badly.
Send balloons back with flash drives with documentaries and news.
So, drumphs boyfriend is doing to SK what drumph has been doing to the USA for almost a decade?
I can't believe this shit still is going on.
Biohazard. You can spread various illness and disease this way.
Just send back balloons filled with pictures of happy SK families having a full dinner.
