USA is a threat to world peace.
hmm ... sorry for being so critical. But where does this qualifiy as a meme? It is more like a "straw man" for politics discussion. That's what you want, right?
You're right the bottom image is wrong a country can't invade itself.
Also that is not what a straw man is.
i object to this because the phrasing "invasion" still makes it out like the DPRK are the bad guys
it was a civil war, the lead up to the civil war seeing the South have a police dictatorship supported by the U.S. which did literally every awful thing the u.s. has accused the DPRK of doing, including killing people for the wrong fucking haircut
notice how literally no american ever talks about the U.S. civil war with "the North invaded the South"
and they're the good guys because they "ended slavery"*
*terms and conditions apply
Eeeh, plenty of American civil war revisionists go for that argument actually, it was even a major theme of the ken burns documentary
I remember seeing a "Yakko's World, but with every country the US has bombed since WWII" and was sad to see they forgot the first one in the song, "America".

(Any other times?)
I'm surprised that there are countries we haven't bombed π
Hoping UK is next.
Why is Ukraine not red on the bottom map?
Russia should be red for "supporting dictators", too.
Oh I just noticed that we only count invasions for DPRK instead of all the other things.
Love that they change the metric between the two. Also, I am not a fan of DPRK. but Iβve never once described them in that way.
And just in case no one in the back can hear, JUST BC USA IS AWFUL DOESNβT MEAN OTHER REGIMES ARE GOOD.
Friend, the ones telling you the other "regimes are awful" IS the US empire
Who did the dprk coup or bomb?
japan? at least they've attempted it a couple of times
High-trajectory missile tests are not missile attacks or attempts thereof.

And of course you have no source...
i wasn't really interested in continuing the conversation.
and yet you replied anyway...
yeah i thought it was common knowledge. there a have been hundreds of missile launch events at or through other countries' territory. wikipedia has not one but several, extensively sourced lists with maps. didn't really expect pushbacks on such a well-documented thing. i'll be going now.
So you think that those missiles were actually intended to hit targets but failed. That's interesting, what exactly do you base that belief on?
Yeah a lot of state department propaganda is common "knowledge". Just because a bunch of westerners believe something does not mean it has any merit.
Wikipedia itself should never be trusted just because it has "sources" literally anyone can contribute to wikipedia and it has been well known for decades it has a massive bias against the west's designated adversaries. Would you care to share some of the sources cited by wikipedia?
???
lol
lmao, even
mostly seen dpkr be called a threat to it's own citizen, which is very true
According to people who do not live in the DPRK
Considering they supposedly punish multiple generations for defectors...I wouldnt call the emigration without consequences...
Very interesting story by a NK defector.
"supposedly" doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
Didnt travel there. Can't prove it
No investigation no right to speak.
