Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Um. North Korea doesn't have hostile neighbors. They are bordered by South Korea, China, and Russia.

South Korea is in a strictly defensive posture. Russia is more or less an ally. And China is North Korea's largest trade partner.

Interestingly, North Korea was one of the largest ~~financiers~~ contributors to the tunnels in Gaza. Hmm, wonder why that is.

The u.s. has a huge presence in South Korea and has repeatedly threatened north Korea, remember trumps "fire and fury" comment.

Gonna need a source on that tunnels claim, I can see them sending experts to help them build them for a fee, because they have no money, but I don't think they're going to finance anything, because again they have no money.

Is it not known that the US is biased about its state of Israel? Getting a source from the US is like asking North Korean if Kim Jung Un is the greatest and expecting a answer otherwise

It was a federal court hearing with submission of evidence by adversary parties. Testimony from experts. Read a book.

[–] Apathy@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

This is from 2014? With sources from the earlier 2000s? If the US can be as openly bias at it is now, what’s preventing them from pushing a narrative earlier on?

[–] JustZ@lemmy.world -3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

"The US." It's a judicial decision. Based on expert testimony. Seriously, how old are you? How far did you go in school?

[–] Apathy@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

What is wrong with saying the US is synonymous to federal court? The experts are using evidence from a period that has been proven to be controversial so why would I not question a source provided from that period.

You’re questioning my age and knowledge level while I’m trying to understand your perspective; you sound like you’re lacking EQ but it is alright, all that preaching for a sovereign nation that is a systemic disaster will get you where you want to be.
