    I sat reading the comments and nodding along and then realized that all this discourse is essentially 'poor country can’t afford nice things '. I’d be really upset at someone that made fun of a person over the junker they drove because it was all they could afford.

      Eh. It’s sad how their military needs to do this when it sucks up so much money already.

      If they just invested in their people instead of their war, north korea would be a much better place to live.

      Never forget how there is literally only one fat person in the entire state, and that’s their ‘supreme leader.’

      This is more the shitty gun they bought to scare their neighbor. Also, their kids are skipping another meal.

        Just to extend that metaphor a little bit:

        It’s like making fun of the cheap gun they bought to protect themselves after a gang set up shop in their neighborhood, took over their neighbors house and did a home invasion where 1/5 of the family was killed and the house itself was completely destroyed.

      This is literally it. North Korea is just a poor country that offers its citizens free healthcare and education. If a poor country in Africa became “communist,” you can bet these same people would be laughing at them when kids have to pick up guns to defend themselves from an American invasion. “Ha ha look at those inferior kids thinking they deserve to fight back. Kill them! I wish they died quicker and were sanctioned harder.”
