They all say that, but look at the DPRK… no one has even mentioned invading or “annihilating” them ever since they got their nukes.

    Imma use this comment to bitch

    I took a class forever ago, something like international relations, and the teacher said "this course will teach you why capitalism is bad". It was shortened because it was a summer course and they never got around to actually explaining their stance

    During the first few days, when trying to name countries that had nukes and came up short one, I said "North Korea" and they snapped back at me "North Korea doesn't have any nukes" so I kinda didn't pay attention for the rest of the class. Passed it because all I needed was credits. I learned nothing. But that has annoyed me for far too long

    It might have been true at the tine, nk didn't sucessfully test its first nuke until 2006. I suspect the US accusing them of selling yellowcake to Iraq accelerated things.

    I think I know what you mean, I also feel a bit “mandela-ed” with this tbh. I do remember quite vividly that the DPRK didn’t have nukes. Like at least until Trump 1. But idk, in this reality they do lol 🤷‍♂️
