Tinfoil hat theory says the US wants another proxy war to open up in the next few years in East Asia. Sowing seeds and manufacturing consent.
If this is really what imperial strategists are thinking, then they're dumb as hell and accelerating their own decline. All that's keeping them afloat is the dollar and the fact that they are cowardly enough not to engage in wars against functional states. Opening new fronts all over the place will destroy both of those.
I think they are gambling on a pre-emptive strike before the Global South catches up. That's why they are folding Europe into full subservience and pushing away ties with the PRC and RF. There isn't a real winning strategy unless you reindustrialize.
There isn't a real winning strategy unless you reindustrialize.
They would simply never do this. Who in the US could possibly discipline capital enough to force them back to US production in a meaningful way? So yeah, no winning strategy for empire.
I would also say that BRICS has already caught up to the US. It's most of the world's population (or close to it) and the vast majority of industrial production.
Never said it would happen, of course. Empire has no way out of the hole it dug, their window of opportunity is slipping like sand through their fingers.
It's a more favorable terrain than Taiwan in the anti-China front.
I know it makes logical sense, I just really don't want to see more suffering for the Korean people, the last century and a half has been brutal.
Recent technology breaktroughs and weapon development in China rendered most of US Navy obsolete, so it's logical that after finally realising this fact they try other front.
Yes. Yes they are, it's the most obvious attempt as well when they put first started running this story only days after DPRK put their warning towards the South and demolished the roads.
Probably just trying to keep the tap open for zelensky
Trump might legit be the harm reduction candidate in this context
If true Ukraine has 48 hours left before total defeat, shall I remind you that the average North Korean pull the trains that stopped midway on a daily basis, imagine what soldiers can do
Ukrainians watching a Juche super soldier unit run together at 40 km/h and jump over his abrams tank with one of them holding the turret and the others holding the tracks, then for them to let go except the one holding the turret then he lifts it up and spins around then tosses it at an f16
- Show
Pictured: average juche supersoldier grabs fistful of electricity from the nearby high voltage line and smashes it into the Abrams tank, 2025, colourised
Isn't this an unverified claim? DPRK denied it IIRC, and I haven't seen hard proof yet
Article says they're gonna be releasing a bunch of evidence soon
But like many Americans I don't really give a shit? Got enough to worry about around here. I just want that damn war over and more importantly than anything for arms transfers to Israel to stop
We will see, I don't doubt it, there's good reason for the DPRK to want combat experience and to maintain good ties with the Russian Federation, but I had also heard that it isn't yet verified.
Personally i think they send observers for the experience and info about modern drone warfare which is something nato has also done
hear me out: second korean war, except now it takes place entirely in ukraine
There’s the old trope of the contents of a story contradicting the headline, but this is the first time I’ve seen the headline and subheadline contradict each other.
I guess the call has gone out to activate all US client states to maximum aggressive posture for simultaneous global proxy wars against multipolarity.
it's election season, yank all the chains and rattle all the cages!

Sounds like some bullshit to me. Until Russia or DPRK makes an announcement about it I'm not going to believe it.
I don't think there's been any proof that they are anywhere near Ukraine, but there was that one geolocated video of North Koreans in Russia, about 70 miles from the NK border.
Every time they put out these photos of the close swarm of camo DPRK it reminds me of the Guitar Army in Idiocracy.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I think they are there. I saw some videos on telegram. They probably want to give NK soldiers some combat experience somewhere relatively safe (Kursk). NK and Russia also recently signed some sorta military pact.
