the north was the industrialized part of the nation

funny how they Conveniently Forget(TM) to mention that Amerika carpet bombed the North and that the South is a de facto Amerikan colony

The North was economically far stronger than the South right up until the 80s when the US started to pour immense amounts of investment into their puppet state just as the USSR was starting to decline. Then the DPRK was effectively left totally alone in the 90s without any outside trade except for a small amount - much smaller than they had with the USSR - with China. And yet even to this day the North is arguably the more industrialized half because it has its own heavy industries including a very impressive military industry, whereas the South just buys American hand me downs. The North is self-sufficient in virtually every way including agriculturally and industrially. Which is really the weaker economy here, the one that produces for itself everything it needs or the one that has to rely on other countries' industrial output while itself only really specializing in the automobile industry and a few other high tech sectors?

The 1990 HDI of DPRK was higher than the Philippines, which is arguably more representative of what a US colony would actually look like when the Americans do not fund a significant portion of the state budget as they did in Park era SK.

It's not that they are stupid. It's that their narrative is stupid from our perspective because we know better. From the viewpoint of pushing the narrative to the unwitting masses, who gobble this stuff up, it isn't stupid at all. That's the thing about propaganda. If you know the truth then it makes the reports look like they were written by morons, because YOU know it's wrong. But it's not meant to convince you. It's meant to reinforce the narrative everyone else believes.

"Putin is stupid for thinking he can beat Ukraine in a few hours. Anyway, we could totally btfo North Korea in 30 minutes."

[–] rigor@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Even more amusing when you consider that DPRK has nukes, whereas Ukraine has only survived as a NATO proxy.

Its also on Russia that they are only focused on demilitarising with minimal damage and avoidance of civilian casualties. They do not have step 1: carpetbomb genocide mentality.

[–] REEEEvolution@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Exactly. People forget that "Special Military Operation" does not mean "anything goes, get mah warcrime gun". In other words, the SMO indeed is not the same as a declared war.

[–] StugStig@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago

The Russians see East Ukrainians as Russians.

The US media othered Iraqis and Afghans so much that a certain group of Americans started attacking other Americans that were Muslims and/or of west/south-Asian descent.

South Korea nearly received more western aid than ALL of Africa is why it's successful. One was a site of resource extraction and the other a site of resource dumping. Why do liberals act like experts when they don't understand simple shit like this. They truly believe South Korean manufacturers would be as successful not exploiting the cheap resources and labor of others.
