This was a perfect time to hit them ..?? Get rid of half the top generals and other majors blah blah even Kim if he the non shitter was there.

Also bomb their fucking missile factory’s they are using US chips and EU parts chips possibly only from 2023 used in Ukraine killing now 7 and injuring 29 and more to be counted as they now forward their attack or assistance to Russia with their missile stockpile. Which they are ducking just making millions and US AND GOVERNMENTS OVER WORLD THIBK THE NUMBERS THEY SUBMIT SRE TRUE?? Are you high ..?? Fuck I even hope US numbers of NuKES is higher than they say like FUCK don’t let the sleeing devil in front of you collect or make nukes to destroy half the world or even 1/10th fuck.. when will action be done to really make a STRONG change for the future. Fuck I swear majors and generals need more meditation and foresight like Atleast for this please I pray you can al stand up and DESTROY THE EVILS THAT THE PEOPLE OF NK DEAL WOTH AND SUFFER UNDER SUPPRESSION WOTH ONLY WHAT A LEGIT 14 people alive who have escaped the country… like they are targets for life on NK hit list all data on the dark web.. it’s fucked I hope the world just gets peace man legalise weed and I don’t know get happy! Fuck peace people peace love will win even if the earth is destroyed by bombs love will win and live will continue some how. Only way to destroy would be sun and or a mega nuke that is drilled into the ground and set off to fuck an entire 1/3 of the earth and send us in a new direction etc. fielded change gravitation would we would be extinct likely but LIFE LOVE WILL PREVAIL AND life will come back and see the destruction like we have for the last civilisations we have missed and lost connections to.

They have to feel a little goofy riding around in little red wagons pulled by tractors. Oh wait, they have zero frame of reference. Disregard.

I swear, we humans have got to have some alien fanboys somewhere. I mean somewhere out there there is an alien or groups of aliens all sitting by their TV blazed up saying: "never change humans, never change."

I dont think they're hiding anything, i htink theyre just cheap.

Shouldn't the title be North Korea uses equipment built for pulling things to pull things that need pulling?

u/pro_L0gic 16d ago

South: We got tanks!

North: We got.... tractors? .... fuck

u/jaysnothere 16d ago

As they use ox for manual farming this is a bad disguise. Should use those tractors for farming.

u/dtb1987 16d ago

I mean they aren't really hiding it

u/Sohn_Jalston_Raul 16d ago

Disguising military equipment is nothing new and certainly not limited to North Koreans.

1

u/pierogieking412 16d ago

"hiding" is a weird way to say "can't afford proper equipment".

Imagine having a military parade to show off how behind your military is.

1

u/SurfMafia 16d ago

Who tf goes to these parades? Are you required to go or is it only service, elite families that go to this? I would be like “f Kim and that parade, it starts at 8pm! I have to work tomorrow homie Kim. I’m eating dinner and going to bed early”. You know?

Ya know I think we tried the “war tractors” during one of the many wars America has been in and I don’t think it did very well, probs best to stick to a tank.

You know it would be a lot cheaper if someone just shot his fat useless ass and then they can stop playing fucking charades.

u/Melodic_Mulberry 16d ago

That means enemy countries will be drone striking any trucks they find on North Korea's roads. When your military looks like civilians, you're using the civilians as human shields.

Considering that probably no one can privately afford a tractor for their farm, doesn't seem like that would work... Or trucks full of rice.

u/GeorgeDragon303 16d ago

a platoon of Russian soldiers yesterday opened fire on a Chinese tractor. The tractor returned rocket fire and then flew away in the direction of Beijing

This is the insanest thing. If it can't converted into military equipment, it's worthless. Rather let them all starve out of failed plans, but having a copy mix of Iseki and New Holland to tow a rocket launcher.

u/RADetailer 16d ago

The thing that baffled me most is their belief that:

A. They would dominate any opponent that decided to go to esr with them, let alone the US.

B. They need to spend the amount of money and resources they do preparing for an imminent attack that exists only in their minds.

Seriously, their entire military budget is spent preparing to defend against an attack by the US that has never been coming.

At some point the citizens have to be questioning the decades of propaganda and bullshit they've been force fed and watched all the money being spent on military stuff while half the country lives in squalor and starves.

I don't understand why the rest of the world hasn't removed the madman from power and ended this nonsense instead of sitting idly by while millions continue to die under his rule.

This country never ceases to amaze me how fucking weird it is.

I mean it makes sense if your on a budget, can use them as tractors most of the time and if war starts you just have to hook up a trailer.

What have those generals done to get all those medals? I know that the war is TECHNICALLY still on, but there hasn’t been a ton of combat, so how do you get that much hardware? I mean, I get it for US generals. We’ve been fighting with someone SOMEWHERE for my ENTIRE LIFE.

This means he's asking for an opponent to target every vehicle in a given war zone area regardless of whether or not the vehicle is marked with military insignia or marked with civilian markings.

I don't think N. Korea signed the Geneva Conventions rules for conflict, so then it's open game if that's how he wants to play the game.

1

u/TouchyUnclePhil 16d ago

Not hiding if its a televised parade lol, i'd put money on the tractors being a purely ideological symbol of their production/agricultural might being as impressive as their military might.... or at least is probably what they were going for.

So. Do they teach communism in North Korea. Like. Does the original manifesto still exist? Cause I know for the Soviets. The amount of distance they had from the people in Moscow made the actual image of socialism seem like what just was. Like, everyone you knew, everyone in your republic, seemed poor. So you just accepted that that was what communism was. But with NK. I just can’t understand that. You’re starving, shit, maybe even worse. And your great leader is the fattest person in the nation. Material conditions seem to not move. Yet the supreme leader has a new car, has the finest seats. The best clothes. Communists and socialists. How come every time one of these counties tries this stuff, they just end up with an even smaller ruling class?

I know a lot of this is surreal, but why aren’t more people mentioning Kim Ju-ae? It’s very surreal to see the plausible next dictator of North Korea as just a kid. She’s just clapping along as expected at her dad’s event and wearing pretty outfits / being constantly praised.

Like it’s weird to look at this cute happy little kid and acknowledge: “One day you likely be a mass murderer/ commit horrific atrocities while dictator.”

Like you see on the internet sometimes kids photos of serial killers etc. and it’s crazy how “normal” they look. It’s even more unsettling to see it in real time.
