Imagine aiding a country that's being accused of genocide by international courts, but then complaining about another country?

[jamesgeorge]

N.K has made it to the 1960's .
Congratulations. Lol.

[PrayingFaith]

Idk why so many people are so obsessed with going to war. Instead of being at peace and loving each other. 🤦🏾‍♂️

[onionhead]

If they engage in combat then they’ll be legitimate targets. No kidding? 🤦‍♂️

[koffatallawford]

Im sorry but isn't US been training South Korean soldiers, Israel soldiers, and other countries soldiers? What is the difference between there?

I was 7 or 8 when I watched this movie in Tehran on a VHS, and even now, the memory of it lingers like a faint dream.

At this very moment i guarantee that the US has a Submarine packed with Trident IIs somewhere very close to North Korea. On average a sub will have around 90 WHs, give or take, as a one Trident splits into multiple. Im 💯 certain little rocket man doesn't wanna play that game with us. South Korea will have a brand new parking lot

As Nike says "just do it." The results are going to be a Crater.

Has this anchor ever smiled? Ever been light hearted?

[wethepeople]

I cannot believe they reported about an army guy pushing another army guy on a plane and told him to sit down and buckle up. THIS IS THE JOURNALISM WE NEED!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO IF I HAD NOT BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS MAN-SQUABBLE!!!
