Beautiful 🫡

As the news so helpfully pointed out at the start of 2022, it's because Ukranians look white

It shouldn't be surprising, in the addition to the lack of discipline, propaganda actually works.

Did someone invade North Korea recently?

[–] mathemachristian@lemmy.ml 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, the US did. They're still considered at war since no peace treaty has been signed the US is officially still at war with them.

[–] BiteSizedZeitGeist@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So I'm not in tune to the same news you are, I guess... when did the US invade North Korea?

Please don't be snarky. I'm asking in good faith, I'm genuinely curious and trying to be open-minded.

The 1950s, where the US Empire committed genocide against Koreans (on both sides of the parallel).

The global average lifespan is ~70 years so…how about in the last 70 years?

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

70 years is oddly convenient choice.

[–] gustofwind@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ok how about this

Have they been invaded since their permanent borders were established in 1953?

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Again, very convenient: only an invasions are to be considered. Thank you for making my point.

I hate to be on the same side as a .world chud, but, like, this is a question about invasion not all the other myriad fuckery and provocations.

[–] gustofwind@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ah sorry I thought we were talking about invasions since the image is about Ukraine receiving support because they were invaded

Weird that all the people in the places they are fighting are Russian speaking Ukrainians that mostly moved into Russia during this war after being violently repressed by the Ukrainian government when they voted to join Russia and were denied

[–] Ciderpunk@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Hey, quick question, were those votes held before or after Russian troops were occupying those regions?

[–] hamid@crazypeople.online 13 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

They were held in 2014. The Russian invasion came after 10 years of violent suppression of the Russian majority of Donbas. To be clear I think Russia, Ukraine, EU and US are all awful villains in the world. But the US in particular is funding both sides of this war through client states in the EU when they overthrew the Ukranian government in 2014 and clandestinely through their proxies in Russia. The end goal is the Iraqification of Ukraine and theft of their resources.

But NK is supported by China which is a lot stronger than all the Decadent Western Imperialist countries combined, no?

Literally no one thinks like your straw man.
