jokes like "haha I hope DPRK *does* bomb us I wanna die anyway!!!" are super not funny for two reasons.

1. Language like this affirms the US government's bullshit assertion that Americans are in danger. It will simply strengthen the country's view of DPRK as a "bad" country, legitimizing the inevitable military action against them.

2. In the event that DPRK *did* begin a nuclear war, it is South Koreans, not Americans, who would likely bear the brunt of the damage. Check your privilege.

@noxy *examines*

Uh, our soldiers there?

Also, Japan and Guam.

@Elizafox I never said *only* S. Koreans would be affected, nor that there are zero individuals with American citizenship who would be.

@noxy The American mainland for the time being will be minimally impacted yes.

But it's a matter of time. America doesn't want nuclear war as much as anyone else. We know where it leads. People shouldn't take orange man at his word.

@Elizafox My point wasn't that America wants nuclear war, but rather that the government wants to use the exaggerated threat of it to justify further sanctions and non-nuclear military actions against a third-world country. The orange man is not the only one supporting this.

@noxy a third-world country run by an unpredictable man who wants to tip a delicate balance of power in his favour.

@noxy Keeping in mind the Korean war never ended, and that Korean unification is something the North wants more than the South, on their terms no less.

@Elizafox This is a justification for American meddling because...?
