    The nuclear weapons are the only thing stopping the U$ from murdering 20% of their population and razing 80% of their buildings. Again.

    The sanctions are meant to torture the civilians. It’s siege warfare.

      No they aren’t. The US isn’t invading North Korea because they have no reason to.

      It would just be a mindless slaughter with no real gain.

        Please read about the Korean War and the US’s fascist pursuit against Communist/Socialist countries. The US has specific policies about stamping out Communism, with devastating consequences for those countries.

          Please tell me specifically what you think I should know and add sources if you can find them.

          Saying “just look it up bro” isn’t conducive to discussion and just tells me you’re not confident in your argument.

            I just watched this video where you can find some information about it in the answer to his first question (Why is there two Koreas). He states his sources are the books Origins of the Korean War Vol. 1 & Vol. 2, but this short video format is certainly more digest than reading a two volumes whole ass book.

        The U$ still militarily occupies Korea.

        It would just be a mindless slaughter with no real gain.

        That’s not guaranteed. The U$ did not win the Korean war.
