Nothing about the current North Korean regime or the Kim dynasty is in any way, shape, or form logical, rational, or justified. The Kims are unhinged tyrants who have fucked over their entire country to give themselves power.
The very notion that war “trauma” leads to totalitarian regimes like this is nonsense made up by Marxists to justify the existence of this indefensible regime. There have been soooooooo many countries that went through war since WWII and were devastated by it, and none turned out like this.
Sorry, there was also a plane that hit a pentagonal building, and one that hit a field. Still not much compared to having your entire country bombed to rubble.
First of all, 9/11 was and still is the biggest and deadliest terrorist attack in modern history. Nothing comes close in terms of death toll or scale. 9/11 was and still is the single biggest attack on US soil since the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor during WWII. It was so unprecedented that it left the world’s wealthiest, most advanced, most powerful did in complete disarray.
The Al Qaeda terrorists managed to successfully infiltrate the US mainland, hijack 4 civilian planes from an American airport, and crashed them all at targets meant to damage the country’s national symbols. Even though one of the planes failed to hit the target thanks to the heroic acts of the passengers on board, they still managed to crash a plane into the Pentagon and 2 planes that destroyed the WTC, killing over 3000 civilians.
It was shocking, so horrible, and so insane that virtually every country at the time expressed condolences and support to the vicitms. Even America’s enemies at the time like Iran, Cuba, and North Korea condemned the attacks. There were vigils held in over 100 countries. In the nearly 25 years since then, the only events that received a similar level of global condemnation was ISIS during 2014/15 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. That’s about it.
9/11 was not a minor event by any means like you’re trying to make it out to be. The fact that you’re trying to downplay what it was just shows that you’re 100% engaging in bad faith from the get go.
Second of all, the only two active wars that US has engaged in since then. There was the Afghanistan war started in 1999, which was done because of 9/11 because the Taliban worked with Bin Laden and refused to extradite him to the US when asked. There was also the Iraq war which was done under the false pretense that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, it wasn’t started over 9/11.
When countries get attacked by terrorist like this, they usually attack back very hard and very quickly. When India had Pahalgam attack back in April, they nearly went to war with Pakistan. When Israel was attacked by Hamas, they bulldozed Gaza. When France got attacked by ISIS they become the leaders on the fight against ISIS. When Russia got attacked by Chechen separatists, they want to war with Chechnya. No country is going to sit idly when a massive terrorist attack by an external entity is carried out against them. The US is no different.
Finally, there have been A LOT of countries since the Korean war that have been devastated by war. You have Iraq, Ukraine, Yemen, Vietnam, Cambodia, Lebanon, Somalia, Syria, and the list goes on and on. Yet not a single one of them ended up being as shutoff as North Korea. Even countries that were completely burnt down like Japan and Germany managed to recover after WWII just a decade prior to the Korean war starting.
The point is that this idea that “war trauma” is the reason why North Korea turned out to be the way that it is complete horseshit and has zero basis in reality. If that was the case then half the world would be as isolated, extremist, and tyrannical as North Korea… but they’re not. The reality is this notion is nothing more than piss poor excuse to justify the evils of this regime from people who are unironically dump enough to support it. There’s nothing rational, logical, or sensible in the way that North Korea is run today.
It’s so closed off that people their can’t visit their relatives in the South, people can’t travel abroad, they can’t even access the internet. The people there are just as clueless about the world as we are about them. Our only source on the society there is from defectors who made the brave journey of escaping, and all of their stories consistently describe the most horrific shit happening inside the country. From slavery to starvation to torture to pure 1984 styled tyranny. How is that okay to you? What part of this regime or how its run makes sense to you? It’s indefensible
What a load of steaming bullshit lmao

America went crazy over planes flying into a couple towers and started two wars over it. Now imagine it was every building in the country.
That’s a creatively disingenuous way to describe 9/11

Once again, that’s a very disingenuous way to describe 9/11
How so?
