I said client state
Especially when South Korean firms are allowed to compete with American firms on the international market
South Korea economically and politically opposes the North
Of course they do, North Korea invaded them and is now threatening nuclear war
and thus can expect military and financial aid from the US, as they have done since the 50s
U.S. aid to South Korea is less than U.S. food aid to North Korea 🤦
nuclear war is unlikely between the two nations
Alongside this, the only reason North Korea has been preserved as an independent state is to act as a buffer between China and South Korea & Japan
provocation is met with intimidation
buffer state = not imperialist
North Korea is essentially a chinese puppet
Not only economically, but politically
cheap coal too, they ship it to their chinese imperialists
And also, either the U.S. is an imperialist country for the banana republics, or China preserving North Korea for their own interest isnt imperialist
pick one
Juche is a very one-nation ideology that opposes military intervention for the purposes of national self-realisation
How the fuck is South Korea the provocative state
holy fuck you're actually retarded
"Sanctions against North Korea are provocative!!!!!!! Even though these sanctions are in direct response to their Nuclear Testing!!!!"
🤦
what an amazing show of doublethink
keep in mind that China has consistently supported these sanctions <:pepekek:329662310971080704>
US plants bases around the east as purposes of provocation
but no
totally innocent
kek
oh my god
by the way, nice argument, that's not what we're talking about
provocation?
south korea provokes with their wealth and freedom
as in who threatened who first?
"Is North Korea innocent, and totally undeserving of sanctions?" "muh us imperialism"
nice argument
I didn't say North Korea was innocent
I said provocation was met with intimidation
So China isn't imperialist when they defend their own interests?
But the US is when they do the same?
